I think she would have been a nightmare MILI definitely think her mothering skills were poor, and love alone isn’t enough. She was a damaged person and her own mother was absent for much of her childhood. I believe Diana was very self absorbed and never considered the damage her actions might do to her children. She was jealous and possessive of them - if they became too fond of a nanny, the nanny was dismissed because the boys were to love no one but herself. That’s why Diana was so vile to Tiggy - she’d been employed by Charles post divorce and the boys were very fond of her, but Diana couldn’t get rid of her.
And yet…William overcame Diana’s poor parenting. It’s been reported that both boys were wild as children but William appears thoughtful and stable as an adult, chose his wife carefully, and between them appear to be raising a lovely brood.

I'm sure there will be talk of Harry at the after service function.
I doubt he will have any supporters there.
After only the 2 (York and Sussex) remain, the Royal Dukes will be renamed to Royal Pukes (of Dork and Suckeggs)
And more recent gossip from DL.
She gets paid in jam.
The public were shocked at the time - not whipped up by a press frenzy but by the fact she was a divorced commoner . This was still largely a church going and socially conservative society through the classes when the taint of divorce, if it could be obtained at all, could hinder careers and spark prejudice towards offspring almost to the same level as illegitimacy.
She had been on the fringes of a fast set of high society for a while , introduced to him by his previous mistress, so would not have been uniformed about the realities of any future with him.
Anyway, we have different takes on this and free discussion is good - I will admit to a bias, unconscious or otherwise, because of how my quite rebellious and free thinking grandmother had described her contemporaneous reaction of horror , to me in the 1970s.
Wallis does deserve our thanks for inadvertently delivering us from what could have transpired in WW2 with David as king.
Yes!! This!!
Somehow since she died it's like history has been rewritten and she never committed any wrongs. I always though she was incredibly manipulative and knew exactly how to play the media to her own advantage. Imagine what kind of mother in law she'd have been, vying with the wives for her boys' attention. It endlessly bothers me that she's become Saint Diana. And imo Harry is exactly like her!
Harry & Meghan #304 making lies become the truth
Soooo much effort with so little reward, when one’s audience is only a nimwit with a wee frost nipped todger. Batshit over the top eye rolling crazy pretty much covers it.
Is it weird to wonder how clean those floors were for her extended visits..
And how cringeworthy was she in that infamous interview when she said she wanted to be the queen of people's hearts.
Puke.
Sky News source is Globe which is a US tabloid and almost as bad as the National Enquirer. I'm surprised Sky News Aus ran with it. Take it will a massive pinch of salt.
Firstly, I've never met a single person who watched Suits. Secondly, when have you ever met a man who even notices what a woman is wearing, never mind remembers it years later? This is definitely Meghan writing.Congrats on VIP @Murphy Brown
Talking of Waitrose.....
Found on Reddit, allegedly from book. But I'm sure I've heard this story before as well.

So......
Mobbed in Whole Foods to the point of 'Floor. Collapsed. Sobbing' back at Nott Cott. Hazza horrified she was recognised and approached by the Great Unwashed. How dare they????
My MiL is still Diana mad. She moans about Camilla every chance she gets. She’s put Diana on a pedestal and can’t see any bad in her. Weirdly she’s not a Hazmat or TW fan tho. It sickens me how many people see Diana as the Queen of Hearts. She knew how to play the media, had many affairs herself and ruined Julia Carlings life. Made the poor woman suicidal chasing after Will. So again, just like the Ginge Whinge, the press are useful when you want to be a ‘victim’
And his IQ
yes I agree, you just know she wouldn't have been nice to Catherine because Catherine is everything she wouldn't have been and to be honest I could see her plotting and scheming with Ho although she wouldn't have liked the thought of her Daughter in Laws getting attention or limelight
I agree. I think if Diana was alive during this generation, she would have been more scrutinised.
People's opinion of her was based on what was watched on TV or written in the tabloids.
These days, we have social media, discussion forums and You Tube. We have body language experts, psychologists etc at our fingertips willing to scrutinise behaviour. We can discuss, anonymously, her traits (using our own experiences).
Don't get me wrong, I liked Diana. But she played the game as much as Charles and ultimately, they were both as bad as each other during that marriage.
I’m so grossed out by his description of ‘Pat’. That poor woman, just doing her job (which would have been challenging enough: trying to care for all those entitled little prats). But she has no ability to respond and I can imagine she must feel so hurt and shamed by what he’s written about her. And also? Harry, f*cking GROW UP! Most teens witch about their teachers/authority figures but by the time they are adults, can recognise that they were just doing their jobs and probably had the kids’ interests at heart. But not ol Haz, the little witch sure can carry a grudge!
That story has been doing the rounds for a week.
The issue is less whether it is true, than it seems to be taking Harkle planted stories longer to gain traction.
Yes! I'm sure we all had at least ONE teacher we disliked, but that's school. Move on. Stop being a whiny little baby. That poor woman will no doubt have recognised herself in print, and probably her friends/peers too. How humiliating for her. As usual Harry discounts other peoples' feelings.
