This is not meant to be a gruesome topic but I just read some friends of Diana's asked for certain items to be placed in her coffin--letters, personal memorabilia and the like. One was Lucia Flecha de Lima, the Princess' closest friend. The family said "no" but the butler managed to work with the funeral director to get them in the casket before it was closed.
I read her sons placed mementos in there....and I can fully understand that as I did the same with my dad recently. But did the Mother Teresa rosary stay with her? What about her wedding band and the infamous diamond engagement ring? What happened to them?
I feel Diana's family showed enormous pettiness, given the fact she hadn't been speaking to most of them. The way they dispersed gifts to godchildren was equally appalling--some bits of china for Rosa Monckton's daughter. Diana had wanted to leave them something far better, including money.
Even Prince William expressed his views they descended like vultures and tried to put his foot down on the fact they took dresses and items for her "museum." I believe her sons should've made the decisions on dispursement, not her not very supportive during her life sisters, brother and mother.

her famous sapphire engagement when she got married to Prince Charles in 1981 i think maybe kept at Buckingham Palace or Harry?
her famous dresses at Althorp and Kensington Palace for dresses display her brother owner at Althorp!
before she died she gives credit to Prince William on christies in June 1997 at New York and London, England because Diana needs new dresses than frock famous dresses.
she bury in Island near the water where tomb she been buried.
Diana is buried with the Mother Teresa rosary and her weddingband. Paul Burrell placed it in her hands when he prepared her for the coffin.
Her engagement ring is now property of William. When he will get engaged his future wife will wear this ring.
I read somewhere that a beautiful portrait of Diana and a portrait of her sons went in the coffin.
I thank all of you for all of your thoughts and information. Now, I feel bad saying Diana's family was petty--given the death of her mother.....I hope she rests in peace as her life was no picnic either.

I read somewhere the royal standard flag was ripped from Princess Diana's coffin and replaced with the Spencer flag during the final ceremony. Is it true? Just wondering. I don't know much about Princess Diana and the British Royalty. I don't really pay attention to them that much.
