Yes she was known as The Honourable Diana Spencer I think before her father inherited the late Earl's title.

No, I have read that they went 'disappearing' one by one. [ed]

Thank you for your understanding Skydragon! Yes, I've know my ex-BIL since I was a child and the family still loves him dearly. The confusing part is he and my sister are friends again and he goes over to her house virtually every day to do repairs, etc. When I visit and see this I just keep my...

Thank you Elspeth. I have no idea how to credit photos that were taken by other kids so I am not even going to go there. But here is a link to Georgetown U for now: http://explore.georgetown.edu/news/?DocumentID=3602 I am trying to find the correct link to their message board to see if they...

I hope the NPR answers my email. But if it is true they have been bombarded by emails it may be a while until they get to little insignificant me lol! I suppose I must give them the benefit of the doubt as well.

I agree but they were apparently taken down for 'restoration' and it seems there is only one now of Diana and her children-and it is just that the timing seems suspect. If the portraits never appear again then I am going to have to believe it was due to consideration for Royal sensibilities. I...

I am sorry Skydragon. I have felt badly all day about my previous post-I know this should be in a PM but as I posted it publicly I feel I should make a public apology both to you and all Forum members. My remark as my ex-brother-in-law pointed out in a family live chat was 'snooty, snobbish...

I suppose they are expected to dress in rags. :rolleyes:

You don't know my family-or their connections. ;) Btw my sister's husband once worked at Buckingham Palace. They are divorced now (adultery-nasty business) but I will see if he will let me scan something of his days working for the Best of the Best. ;)

I love babies so I went with the birth of Infanta Leonor. The news that they might abolish male primogenure in Spain because of her birth is really special.

I'm not certain. Quite frankly each year it is the Chrismas service I look out for. This only came up because once again someone said something or posted something-and I decided to try and check it out for myself. I can easily imagine our modern day Good Queen Bess chuckling to herself at all...

I'm sorry I broke up the link somehow when I copied it. It basically said the Rev. Riviere did not mention Camilla's name, and he received some protests because of this. He was asked about it and referred reporters to the Palace Press Room. Here I will try again...

The councils. I will give them the benefit of the doubt. But I will still wonder. If it happens again what are we supposed to think Elspeth? Restoration again? Scrolls? I don't think Prince Charles would want bad press like this-so I must say it would be like working against himself. Whatever...

Having them and putting them up for display are two different things. But if they are to be believed the Portraits are being 'restored'. On another Forum a poster is saying the NPR was 'embarassed after being bombarded with emails protesting the removal of the late Princess' Portraits'. I have...

But of course it had nothing to do with C & C's visit. They needed to put up some scrolls or something in it's place. Right. And I'm the Queen Of Sheba. :D

According to what I was told by visitors to the Gallery ALL 41 portraits have been removed. I won't be in England until September so I can't check it out for myself. Perhaps a poster here could check it out and confirm. But I stand by my sister-in-law's report.

Well my sister-in-law is good enough for me as to the Portraits. You are right, she was told 'restoration' purposes. I think it only natural to suspect Royal sensibilities are being spared after the fiasco at yet another location of another Diana portrait removed ( and then placed back after the...

The late Princess Of Wales Airbrushed From History? Apparently that the attempt is being made to airbrush the eternally popular Diana, the late Princess Of Wales from history. [ed] From The Inquirer: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=28644 I think Charles and Camilla are grownups and...

Thank you Will's princess! Duh! I forgot about Getty! Since this is the current events thread I have read reports about yet another alleged 'snub' to Camilla and I found this from the Telegraph a (please don't shoot the messenger folks): From The Telegraph: 'New Year's Snub For Camilla?'...

I've just been browsing through these older threads. Erm I've never seen that photograph of Charles and Diana on the beach chair. http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=174525&d=1122687066 Rather playful and er intimate moment *blush*:o . Btw Prince Charles doesn't...

He learned to fly jets no less and according to the RF website he earned his RAF wings in 1971: http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page460.asp I haven't been able to locate photographs of Charles the pilot in the cockpit. :)

I would think so. And Charles is (or was?) a pilot so no fear of flying there for sure.

Her Majesty looks just so stylish!! I am loving it!:)

I agree. I think she looks tense because she knows she is being followed. :( I wish they'd give her some space. That is a lovely bag though and I love her boots too.

I'm not even going to click on those links. I know it will just make me mad. :mad: It's too bad they can't be hung up by their thumbs-like in the good old days. ;)
