Oh, Diana was the mistress of manipulation. She played everyone and used everyone, including her own children.

They don't have a life of service! They enjoy a life of luxury financed by the public and in return they turn up for photo shoots an make a few speeches. Other people do the actual work, they just take the credit.  The country could manage perfectly well without them. And Harry and Megan will be the same regarding their Netflix connection...other people will do the work and their names will be on the credits... :-)

I liked Diana.

If they really live useless lives, they are the ones who will suffer. There is no sense of fulfillment.

Yes Prince Harry is a big boy, and yes he has made his choices.  The question is WHY did he make the choice he did. 

Who cares?

He made his bed... he has to sleep in it.

Nuff said!

FWIW

A lot of people did, she was very good at playing the victim...

True

He looked awful in the interview. Exhausted and depressed, and very subdued.  He’s reaping the consequences.

She was a victim of manipulation. She was very sheltered growing up, unlike Meghan Markle, and believed she was going to be embraced by the royal family.   She was basically a handpicked bride who I saw as being manipulated and controlled.  Her husband didn’t love her. Her probably didn’t even like her.  Her married life and death were a tragedy.

She was a victim of manipulation but was also very good at it herself. I agree that she deserves some pity, as she was thrown into a situation very young, but after her divorce she manipulated the media to get revenge on Charles. THAT interview, the mournful "lonely" picture at the Taj Mahal, taking her kids to theme parks and outings to portray herself as a good mother. It was all manipulation. She kept herself in the limelight, and look where it got her...
