Princess Diana's death - the social impact : Comments

By Mal Fletcher, published 1/9/2017

Twenty years ago today, Britain and the world lost one of the seminal figures - at least in terms of public affection - of the millennial era.

As the Princess of Wales title has been done then Camilla won't score that one. Not Queen Consort but Princess Consort will be her role when Charles starts the job in his 70s. " In the year 1929, legislation was passed by the NSW Government of the day to prevent the consorting of criminals, known prostitutes, and persons of ill-repute. . To enforce the provisions of the new legislation, a Consorting Squad was formed within the Criminal Investigating Branch." However, Charles as king will have joint citizenship with Oz so getting her through Customs should be a rubber stamp .

Gentlemen,

Methinks you protest too much.

And frankly I can't understand why?

Princess Diana's death was obviously felt
very deeply around
the world - not only in her own country.
However, that is not something that
I am making up. The evidence is there for all
to see on film. The news reels speak volumes.

This is not a competition of who shall be
remembered. The fact that 20 years after her death
people are still voicing the loss speaks for itself.
And all your denials can't change that fact.

BTW: All the people that you've listed as also
being remembered from Richard the Lionheart et
cetera. They are part of history - however, how
many of them so captured the hearts not only
of their own people
but of many others globally -
in the same way that Princess Diana did 20 years after
their deaths?

Have a nice day.

As her brother neatly put it , it's ironic she is named for the huntress who impaled impala. She was pilloried by the press , hounded by her husband and her charity chariot crashed. The nightingale in gilded cage.

Princess Diana basically was the first royal anyone
could remember who behaved like a person rather
than a distant blue-blood who met people out of
obligation rather than affection.

Hopefully that mentality did not die with her but will
live on in her sons.

Royals sit on horses for the Changing of the Guard. Probably when Charles would do it , the PoW would be round the back patting horses and checking their hooves and asking troopers how their Mum is getting along.
