Belly, I have to side with you on your last post.
I'll make it as direct as possible in an attempt to not write a novel.
Firstly everyone knows I am a Monarchist, so what I am about to say does not bode well with me.
A lot has been said, good and bad, about Princess Di.
In the beginning I thought she was the epitome of a Princess.
Perfect in every way, especially her beauty.
I remained enamored of her until she began acting like a 'commoner'.
We have seen our own 'commoner' behave according to her station, and she is still doing a better job than many with Royal lineage.
Anyway, I care not for her charity work and all the other posy stuff as is expected of someone in her position.
Then the divorce and all that went with it.
I was torn, my Princess is not what I thought she was, she turned Ferrel, she went off, OMG what happened?
Then began the 'Chinese whispers'.
The stories, the conspiracies, speculations and it just went on.
Then one struck a nerve, because by this time she was being 'slut shamed', and in all fairness I became disgusted with her and her slut like antics,(not my words) and so she lost all that good will and following she had gained and turned it all around.
I was prepared to give Charlie a few verbal KO's until I began to read of her possible infidelity with, not sure, was it her driver or body guard.
Did not think anything of it, relegated that story to the trash can.
As the years passed I began hearing/reading stories about one of Di's kids looked unlike their father or even anyone in both families, I think it was Harry.
Over time I would have more than a passing glance at Harry, from time to time, and found myself slowly gaining compliance with the now rumour that Harry was not who he is purported to be.
I found the whole thing ridiculous, because one DNA test and you have the answer.
Who knows?

Two posters question my reporting Harry may not be Charles son.
And again because I aired it.
One spoke of driver or was it a bodygard?
Look Lady Di did have affairs, so did Charlie, he is said to have told his family, *he refused to be the only one holding his title not to have a mistress*
REMEMBER those tapes, in his own voice unwisely on a phone that was tapped
And gee try to make your insults informed ones!
That maybe father is known, not as much in Briton because of censorship, but worldwide.
no doubt exists they had been lovers
look at the photo and maybe you will see why Harry has a beard
DNA to what end? making a bad one public would do great harm, making one to be kept private/
if it took place we will never know the results make that public, thatsome one wanted the tests done,would be not worth seeing

Belly, mate, I am with you on this one.
I'm not questioning you, rather the opposite.
I'll put it in clearer words.
Di started out as the 'Darling' Royal.
Over time she turned into a slut, therefore 'slut shaming'. definitely not Princess material.
The fact that Harry does not look like his father or anyone else in the family is the basis of the rumours about who his father really is.
I agree with your theme, because it's all on the record and it's history.
Belly, to clarify, I'm agreeing with you on Charles and Di.
The other story getting around, which by then I really didn't give a toss about her and her disgusting antics, was that the Palace was getting concerned about her involvement with a Muslim, and all that it meant for the realm and the idea of a Muslim anywhere within the Royal circle.
As I said, by this stage Di had literally made her bed and was very busy using it, and so it was that I and millions of thinking people realised we were hoodwinked by her looks and not her maturity and ability.
All she had to do was follow proto-col.
Do people actually believe that Kings and Queens 'fall in love' and live happily ever after?
If those people do they're an emotional ignorant dreamer.
The Royals are in servitude to the office and their people, not the other way around.
So Belly you got this one right.
Royalty has always had it's 'bad eggs', they are after all, human, only born into a life where they cannot do what they want, EVER.
Imagine how you would feel if your being watched at every turn, being told what to do and when to do it.
They can't just get in their car and go to the beach, or do ANY of the things normal people can do.
This is partly why I respect them and their station in life.
They sometimes stuff up, but remember so do we!

ALTRAV and Belly,

Photos do tell a tale, have a look at the photos of Harry and Prince Phillip.

" In 2002, Hewitt told the Sunday Mirror, "There really is no possibility whatsoever that I am Harry's father. I can absolutely assure you that I am not. Admittedly the red hair is similar to mine and people say we look alike. I have never encouraged these comparisons and although I was with Diana for a long time I must state once and for all that I'm not Harry's father. When I met Diana, he was already a toddler."

In 2002, Diana's bodyguard Ken Wharfe wrote in his book Diana: Closely Guarded Secret, "The malicious rumors that still persist about the paternity of Prince Harry used to anger Diana greatly. The nonsense should be scotched here and now. Harry was born on 15 September 1984. Diana did not meet James until the summer of 1986, and the red hair, gossips so love to cite as proof is, of course, a Spencer trait."

In 2017, Hewitt went on an Australian TV show and shot down the rumors yet again, saying, "It's worse for [Harry than it is for me], probably, poor chap."

So, who to believe, the people involved or rumour mongers and the media who feed on lies and scandal?

Is Mise, after she began 'rooting around', I lost all interest and any time or respect I had for her in the beginning.
If he is not Charlies, they had better play their cards close to their chest and hope that nothing medical happens to Harry, because that's when all will be revealed.
Scandals and so forth are not unusual in anyone's lives or families, they're no different.
It is always a sad moment when these things happen, all the more so in a Royal family, but they reconcile and gather themselves up and move on.
We should not judge those who do their duty, even with scandal, but we should banish and admonish those who opt out for puerile reasons and fits of childish petulance.
It has been said, and I agree, that both her and Fergie turned out to be the most disappointing of the modern Princesses, especially since they came from the upper class, well at least Di did.
When you consider an Aussie commoner became Princess of Denmark, and what a sterling job she is doing.
She is still running rings around 'what's er face'.
She is way above anything Diana was, she took the role by the horns and has not looked back.
I for one am immensely proud of her and more so because she is an Aussie.

Is it something else , like people in your childhood who identified with England and royalty - the squatocracy rich farmers and snooty CofE ladies?
