She would have definitely lived if she put on her seatbelt. The only survivor, her bodyguard, wore his seatbelt. |
Sure, the non-sweater who loves to party with teens is still being taken care of by the family |
| Diana would have been the British Jackie Onassis if she was alive--married or dating uberwealthy, exciting men while running her charities and living a fabulous life with her children. Wearing a seatbelt seems like such a small, unimportant hassle when you are dodging the paparazzi but it was this lapse in judgment that was responsible for her death and that of Dodi Fayed and their driver. |
Diana wasn't dating those guys before she died so I don't know why you would think there was going to be some fairy tale ending to a life that was anything but a fairy tale. |
I'm not a knee-jerk Charles hater. This is my first post. |
Diana did sell her story and did interviews. Showed Harry how to be strong. |
Diana and I are the same age and both introverts. I was able to make decisions about my work, whom I wanted to date and marry without needing my family's approval. You infantilize women with your attitudes. She willingly accepted his proposal and married him. She remained in the marriage long enough to have two sons and divorce him. She was stronger than you give her credit for. |
She also thought Charles loved her when she said yes. |
She was not groomed at 13 to become charles's wife any more than any other 13 year old was. What nonsense. You must have her confused with Queen Elizabeth, who met her future husband at 13. If you compare 19 year olds then and now, 19 year olds then were treated like women ready to be with a man and 19 year olds today are treated like children, who have to be shielded from men. Every girl on the planet wants to marry a prince. Imagine if her family had talked her out of it, how pissed she'd be. She'd be in a bar drunk at 11 am saying, "I could have married a prince you know. But no, my family talked me out of it." Then she'd turn to the person on her other side and say, "I could have married a prince, you know, but..." while the bar tender, airpods in his ears, wipes the bar with a rag. |
Isn’t Charles the one who asked for the divorce? |
Queen Elizabeth told them to divorce. |
She could have divorced him earlier. She chose to stay in a loveless marriage longer than many of her contemporaries. She had her reasons and made her decision, which was her perogative as an adult. |
Lol |
| Charles was hamstrung by tradition. He was supposed to marry a virgin blue blood. He would have married Camilla and lived happily ever after if he had not been the heir. He and Diana were a complete mismatch and made each other miserable. Divorce was inevitable. |
Lmao. He did not love Camilla, she was just a convenient and easy f**k. What exactly have you read abou their backstory? Charles was generally unfaithful, he had dozens of girls. Camilla became Chief Mistress because she was convenient. Her house was nearby the Wales house. She was married, so we wouldn't make too many demands of Charles (mistresses mustn't be demanding, they must be soothers of your insecurities). She was plain/not very cute, so she wouldn't outshine Charles. (Many biographers, including Andrew Morton, have noted that Charles actually resented Diana's beauty and hated that she got more cheers and camera flashes than he did.) And he would've ended the affair many times, if not for Camilla clutching him like a drowning squirrel. The Queen was said to have been angry that Camilla didn't leave Charles alone to repair his marriage. That he married Camilla in the end has nothing to do with "love", but again soothing his bruised ego. She enabled his narcissism from the start, and he probably resented the public scandal about their affair. So finally he's like, "Well f**k it, I'll need a wife once I'm king, and I'm insecure and lonely, and people already ripped me a new one for having an affair with Camilla. So I'll marry her and then I can give my critics the finger. Hah! We won!" So romantic. Much roses. Wow. |
