Noted. My frustrated maternal hormones were speaking. But the Middletons are hardly a threat to the Plantagenet, was it? To paraphrase Dame Maggie Smith in Downtown Abbey. Are they? Meghan does not seem to collect lasting friendships. Priyanka is getting married and it seems that past a few months in her pregnancy, she could make the trek, no? I would, for the Indian cuisine alone!! Wills has his own family and the Middletons. He is very much stable and has finally peace in his life. Harry on the other hand still isnt grown up, so its natural that both drift away from each other. Kate imo is no way at fault, as I think she is a teamplayer. Meghan on the other hand.... and honestly I believe someone from her circle is ratting her out. Dont be surprised to get more leaks about her bad behaviour. Meanwhile her husband is still not back from Zambia, while she gets almost daily bad press. |

What's really obvious is that Harry needs structure in his life, he should have never left the army and take this designed job for him. But he desired glam and thought Meghan is the right one for this path. Let's see how he will fare, especially with a baby on the way. The cottage may be the right thing, having them a bit out of the city and focus on their family. Oh, Meghan is a notorious people dropper, she uses and abuses lmao. She should have never seen Kate as rival, because a future queen >>>. Rather she should have gotten an ally in her. But too late I guess. May it be the Indian sun or the English fog, she needs to relax  |

Michelle Obama agrees with you: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46428150Me? I would not have wasted one chance to have a good time and relax away from any pressures at home. It could only help in a pregnancy to be happy and be around good friends. That's just me. Noted. My frustrated maternal hormones were speaking.

Not to point to the elephant in the room, but someone might want to investigate Ghislaine Maxwell's involvement in Princess Diana's death. Sorry to pour salt into that wound. It seems currency that these operators resort to "accidents" close to people they want to pressure into silence or into doing their bidding. Enough. This is a new day where enslaving people is over.

Though this won't bring back Diana, I think investigating how her angst may have been herded and harnessed by unscrupulous media types, has value especially as a lesson that her sons cannot teach each other at the moment because of the presumed wall of miscommunication between them. Maybe this is how Diana will mend her boys' relationship, by showing them the vagaries of taking a mosh pit dive. www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/ex-judge-lead-probe-1995-princess-diana-interview-1.5807037It's going to open wounds for them no doubt, but before anyone is called to the throne, this is the right time to do it and lay ghosts to rest. The two now each have mates for support, children to live for and a bond to repair. |

A collective sigh of relief... http://instagr.am/p/CQyh60Flgr- The statue is growing on me slowly. One has to consider the difficulties involved in the process. I'm just glad she's not sitting on a "bench" 🙄 . Otherwise, I felt she was too buxom or boxy, but from afar it has another dynamic. As does her face, whose jaw in semi-profile is less English rose and more...masculine? It will do just fine. 👏 |

I've watched the full Reuters video of the event now, after reading people's comments and also watching the Body Language guy on YouTube and I'm a bit surprised that what I picked up on went undetected. Call me finicky, but what I noticed was at one point after greeting a line of people and arriving at the man in the light coloured suit (presumably the artist?) Harry was at William's right side nicely framing the guy but soon saddled up to William and stepped backwards while looking at the direction of the photographers as if setting up a shot. That personally annoyed me. Then Diana's sister saved William from what looked like an attempt to smarmily hug without respecting William's feelings. You just can't force yourself on others like that.

I am not a fan of the statue. It is a safe bet, but doesn't do her justice. It looks robotic, like all his work. Realistic, but without life. He has no idea about the essence of Diana. She was sheer emotion. There is no emotion here, no warmth. I find it lazy to use children. She reached out to the homeless and the sick. She took her light to shine it on people that society likes to hide or overlook, so why notreflect that. Obviously it would have been more controversial, but she was controversial. She did not avoid starting a discussion. This statue ends it. There is no conversation started or food for thought to be taken away. It is not an eyesore, but it doesn't do her justice. It is more like ticking sth off your bucketlist. The sculptor is the one in the dark blue suit.

There's just not much allegory. The outfit chosen is too business-like to be entertaining barefoot children. I would have picked a sheath and a wreath of loose birds as headdress, an arm extended with outstretched right hand and a bent down pose as if to reach out to an oncoming child. Make it more universal. I'm actually inspired to do her portrait next. I am not a fan of the statue. It is a safe bet, but doesn't do her justice. It looks robotic, like all his work.

If it had to be children as a non offensive/devisive topic, why not be inspired by the iconic image of her holding an aids baby. The guardian has an interesting review of the statue. And they are spot on when it comes to photographs transporting her legacy better than this statue, especially since ther are so many of them. Obviously her sons would be opposed to it, but a modern installation using photography might have done better. It should have been bold as she was, divisive and uniting, starting conversation, shining a light and at the same time showing the toll it took on her. Show her bullimia pictures, to which young girls can relate and that it can be overcome. She had many faces, not all of them were likeable, she wasn't always nice, especially when she was hurt, but above all she was human. Not a stepford robot.

Listen, considering Camilla will one day rule that house, the statue is going to be like a thorn in her side. Maybe it'll be easier to live with if it's this imperfect.

Honestly, I don't think that Camilla would have a problem with a better statue. Remember that Diana was the vindictive and jealous one. Her jealousy of Alexandra Legge bourke and that false story about the abortion pushed qe2 to demand them to divorce. Not her interview or her book. It was her jealousy and meanness to innocent people that eventually got her that far. Not her brightest chapter. Camilla was never the prettiest, so she had to develop other attributes. After all the scandals of the past even the queen has come to accept and get on with her. I think Camilla is above holding grudges or trying to win a battle with a dead woman. I think that the moment Diana died any real or perceived rivalry with Camilla stopped.

Not in the mind of the public, I guess, though with time it has gotten better. Bashir is the one responsible for planting such an awful story of betrayal in her mind. I hope Legge-Bourke sues him.

I never so this, but this is a mum trying to do her job and parent. I guess a lot of parents in homeoffice can relate

Mystery solved! We now know the style origin for the Trump coiffe! We can now safely say his inspiration is a mix of Elvis Presley and... Diana 😄  We know he tried to date her so he chose instead to be her. |

This is bittersweet, knowing it was French media who played an unfortunate role in the events, but the covers are such reminders of those life milestones at the same time. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ch6sdqJggbB |
