Well, we are never likely to know, are we, as Diana died at 36. However, I find it extremely hard to believe that her sons would not have helped her when they came of age, if she had got into financial difficulties, and we don't know that she would have as I believe she probably had financial advisers.
I am quite sure also that Charles has trust funds set up for his children. I know Earl Spencer died in 1992. Her mother, Mrs Shand Kydd however, lived on, and would probably have predeceased her daughter had it not been for that terrible accident.
Nor can I see the BRF, even if just for the sake of PR, of national prestige if nothing else, allowing the mother of a future sovereign of GB to go on US television shopping channels flogging teas and hair straightening wands. Anyway, she wouldn't have to. Diana was enormously popular in the US, regarded as a very glamorous and charismatic figure even after her divorce and she wouldnt have needed to do such things.
Of course the Queen helped her grandchildren Beatrice and Eugenie as far as their future financial welfare was concerned. I said so in my original post. (That didn't stop Fergie from reputedly raiding it later though.)
