he wasn't broken hearted.
Not broken hearted for himself, perhaps, but devastated for his Sons.
he wasn't broken hearted.
I said that he cared for her and it was obvious that he was grieved, but I can't imagine he would be broken hearted over a woman he had been at odds with for years... when he was Living with another woman who had been his lover and close friend for a longer time. And he's not likely to lose his composure nor IMO to be drinking.
Drinking could mean anything. It could be tea, coffee, a Pepsi or a stiff bourbon. I would opt for caffeine as he'd been through a harrowing night, then the flight to Paris to retrieve the body and that experience had to have been nerve jangling to say the least. Charles has the kind of personality that doesn't stop when he's set his mind to doing something.
He most certainly did not look soused at arriving at the airport in the UK.
Yes, I agree. I was too upset to watch live but I saw photos later. It was poignant and dignified as it should have been.
In Christopher Anderson's " Diana's Boys" he wrote that the trip back across the Channel with Diana's coffin was a nightmare for all involved. Diana's sisters Lady Jane and Lady Sarah were weeping and continually crying out for "Duch, Duch, Duch!", and poor Charles was so undone he sat in the back of the plane drinking and talking on the phone to the Prime Minister for much of the voyage.
Honestly Dman, I know you said it's more about celebrating her life than grieving and I agree 100% but I find all of this incredibly painful to remember. I miss the late princess but will be glad when this week is over.

Her passing was very upsetting, but I'm glad William and Harry are taking charge of these commemorations, her life and legacy. It's what I've been waiting for them to do. Even with the private re-dedication service at her grave, and the Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace exhibitions, it let us know this is a family effort to keep her memory alive.
Let's not forget that there will be the statue unveiled later this year. I think this will be a Spencer and royal family and public event.
True, all the members of the BRF should be there, including Anne, Alexandra, and Princesses Michael and Richard.
There is no Princess Richard, if you mean the Duke of Gloucester's wife she is the Duchess of Gloucester. And I don't see why the entire extended royal family should have to be there.
she felt unappreciated by the person she most needed to feel appreciated by.
Indeed, altho' there is no evidence of any appreciation by her of her Husbands 'life work', indeed she publicly denigrated it, which the Prince NEVER did to her..
