- As an American I really don't know anything about Princess Diana and her legacy, but I do know hoe beloved she is. Today I am very excited to learn about Princess Diana's most iconic moments in history and see some of the reason she is so loved. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Diana wasn't an ordinary person, her family was one of the most prominent aristocratic family's in the UK. She grew up next to Sandringham (RF's country home) and she played with Prince Andrew as a child, had lots of joint friends and helped introduce him to his wife. This idea that she was just a regular person is not true.
Thank you for pointing that out, i was just about to comment that. i so hate it when people keep saying she was basically like a nobodybefore she married into royalty.
Thank goodness she played with Prince Andrew - and not the other way about!
@@paulharvey9149 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually, on the Sandringham estate.
Diana's father was Equerry to the Queen. The husband of one of her sisters worked in the Royal Household for more than 20 years in several positions ending as Private Secretary to the Queen. Diana's family has very close connections to the Royal Family going back generations.
Diana did more than was shown in this video. She also took her sons, William and Harry, to visit a homeless person who lived in a large refrigerator box. She asked permission from the man to come inside, and spoke with him for some time. She treated him with complete dignity.
Near the end of her life, she worked very hard to bring awareness to the danger of land. Mines left behind after war. She met with several victims of landmines who had lost limbs. And then, one of my favourite videos of her she pushed a photographer’s camera lens out of a girls face while she was trying to talk to her.
Princess Diana:
1 She was the first celebrity to be photographed in the Press shaking hands, without gloves, with an AIDS patient in hospital. This was in the early 80s when AIDS was a death sentence and people were paranoid about it, thinking that they might catch AIDS if someone with HIV entered the building, etc. She was also photographed holding a baby with AIDS. This changed attitudes to AIDS patients overnight.
2 She came out honestly in public about her anorexia nervosa and bulimia, and her struggle against it. This was something that was very common but very seldom talked about. It brought these problems into the open for a lot of people.
3 She drew attention to the problem of land-mines in war zones - and visited some minefields - which most people were unaware of.
4 As a wonderfully photogenic model, she provided great publicity for British dress designers.
She did an amazing job at breaking down fear around HIV with just that one move
At a time in the eighties gay and HIV + people were to be feared and hidden away. She said this so sad and she set out to patronise AIDS charities. She spent hours talking to people and finding out how she could help them. She held hands and hugged them.
Diana wasn't just an ordinary citizen - Diana is descended from not one, but two illegitimate children of King Charles II of England: Henry Fitzroy and Charles Lennox, via two of her great-grandmothers, Adelaide Seymour and Rosalind Bingham. This means that Diana's royal family tree stretches back through the ages of both English and Scottish history.
The Honourable Lady Diana Spencer-Churchill, daughter of the Rt.Hon. Earl Spencer.
Wooo we love incest
Yeah, it seems like too many are not aware.
Most of us are dear. I have gone back centuries. I can trace back to the Plantagenets and notable members of that family such as John of Gaunt and his mistress Kathryn Swynford and beyond, eg. Robert the Bruce. Research your family tree and you will find out. You would only be unique if you couldn’t 🤦🏻♀️
By the time of Charles II, the Union of the Crowns had happened (in 1603). Therefore, Charles II was King of Great Britain and Ireland.
Yeah, this video doesn't really explain the context of some of these clips. She was actually tricked into doing that one interview by the journalist and the BBC. They showed her fake documents that caused her to believe the Royal Family was basically out to get her. At least something like that. So she did a tell-all.
Yes, unfortunately the journalist Martin Bashir tricked his employer, the BBC, as much as Diana. But the BBC shouldn’t have been as naive as Diana and should have taken action with him long before they actually did. The repercussions of this are still going on today.
Yes that whole Bashir interview stands in a different light today , than at the time.
Diana, was engaged to Charles at the age of 19. They married shortly ofter her 20th Birthday.
She "worked" for a relatively short time as a Nursery Teacher's Assistant. In a Private nursery. Not exactly an ordinary "working girl".
She grew up at Park House on the Sandringham Estate, which was owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II, and now by King Charles III.
Lady Diana Spencer, as she was before her marriage, was from a long line of aristocracy, She was a distant cousin of Winston Churchill, whose middle name was Spencer. The Spencers and the Churchills are two branches of the same family.
She was an ...icon....beautiful, classy, caring, sympathetic, tall, right background, relatable.,..and well dressed...😊
She had many iconic moments such as supporting the charity seeking to rid landmines and she was photographed walking through a minefield in Angola. She also became patron of the Leprosy Mission and would be seen holding hands with those with the disease.
She walked through a minefield that had been cleared, and like all royals they just put their names to charities to make themselves seem important or relevant they don't do any work on a regular basis for charities. She would go anywhere there was a camera.
She also took her sons (William and Harry) to homeless shelters and made sure that they knew how lucky they were to have a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs.
When she died so suddenly the whole country went into mourning. People openly cried and the day of the funeral shops all closed because everyone was at home watching the funeral on TV.
i remember the news reader who was the first to announce she had died breaking down. This was a normally stoic news broadcastet. ❤❤
This list leaves out some of the more important iconic moments, often against Royal approval. Besides her Aids work, doning safety Gear and highlighting the Blight of of landmines, taking her son's to the homeless shelters and her real connection with Ordinary People are a few.
I think her landmine work is some of the best work. Also her HIV work
She picked up babies born with HIV and cuddled them, when most people didn't know how it was passed on. That was really important.
When Diana was at the gala hosted by the Reagan's, she really wanted to dance with Mikhail Baryshnikov. She sent a message requesting that they have a dance together. She really loved ballet. The person delivering the message asked the wrong person. That is how Diana ended up dancing with John Travolta. He was not who she wanted to dance with and was disappointed that it wasn't Mikhail.
My great uncle saw her visiting Brigg once years ago, he said she made everyone stop in awe of her as she walked the streets and spoke to folks, deffo a true peoples princess
I would love to see you learn more about princess Diana in more detail.
As a British teen myself it's utterly fascinating seeing other people from different places learn about things that are kinda just known
Dude shut up!!!! You need to do your freaking homework. On princess Diana
She's beautiful woman! Both her son's prince Harry and prince William. For a time it seem she and prince Charles at the time were Happy! Out of their love they had 2 handsome son's. I'm done!!! Can't stand your nerdness😂😂😂😂 bye!!! Kevin😂😂🎉
Not sure how 'normal' her job was to be honest. She was a nanny at an exclusive Day Nursery - where the families who sent their children there were in the top echelons of society.....and her father was an Earl, so her upbringing was almost as privilaged as the Royal Family's. She's not the first person to mary into the family having worked either. Princess Anne's first husband was a Captain in the Army, and the Queen's sister Margaret married a photographer in 1960....
The Big Reveal Interview has to be seen against a backdrop of marriage that had already fallen apart, and Charles was continuing to see Camilla during his marriage, so Diana's 'Revelations' were no shock to anyone at the Palace- except for the fact that she'd spoken publicly! Charles should have been allowed to marry Camilla in the first place....but no- he had to find someone more 'suitable'. It was an unmittigated disaster.
I think they could have included her active campaigning against the use of landmines- being photographed walking in an area where mine clearances were underway.
She was nearly 6 foot. And people said she just took your breath away, when you saw her with her piercing blue eyes and radiant smile, and I’ve heard many men say when they saw her, they would’ve been her slave for life.
25 years after her death, I STILL cry like a baby over it. She is the most loved figure in HISTORY. FOREVER THE UNCROWNED QUEEN. ALWAYS LOVE, NEVER FORGOTTEN.
The Revenge Dress was regarded as a 'look what you're missing' message for Charles.
The reason it's a revenge dress is that it showed a lot of skin with the off the shoulder look & it was above the knee you won't see any royal female during public engagements wearing short skirts
John Travolta starred in Saturday Night Fever and Grease. This is why Princess Diana wanted to dance with him.
I went to spend a semester in Finland on the night she died (no causal link). Finns kept saying to me "I so sorry of your Lady Diana." and (not having seen the news) I said "Oh no, what's she done now?".
Back in former days, Tyler, it was normal for British Princes and Princesses to have marriages that had been arranged by their parents - Queen Victoria (1837 - 1901) and some of her European counterparts being perhaps the most notorious. This was in part because they were expected to marry someone of equal or higher rank. After the First World War this requirement largely disappeared - except in the case of direct heirs to the throne, which was considerably reinforced by the marriage of the Prince of Wales prior to Charles, who abdicated his throne as King Edward VIII in favour of Wallis, his twice-divorced American lover, whom he later quietly married in France, as Duke of Windsor.
As Prince of Wales, Charles met the then Camilla Shand in 1970. She was a member of a family who moved in royal circles, albeit at senior servant rather than peer level; and because of her lowly status she was not considered a suitable candidate for a future queen consort and reluctantly, they ended their romance, but remained friends. At length she married Andrew Parker- Bowles a man of similar social standing who had also been a former boyfriend of Charles' sister, Princess Anne (now the Princess Royal). Having given up his true love, Charles appeared to be in no rush to get married; having a whole string of girlfriends throughout the 1970s - including Diana's sister, who through he would eventually meet Diana. As he was by now in his early 30s he was under intense pressure to marry somebody, and with his great-uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten - whom he later described as his "surrogate grandfather" trying to play cupid with one of his granddaughters; Charles appears to have agreed to marry Diana to meet his social and dynastic obligations, without actually wanting to do so. By now her status as the younger daughter of an earl was almost irrelevant, such was the desperation to get him married and producing heirs...!
Diana did make a real effort to establish her role as Princess of Wales, and her youthful values were extremely popular to the public, who saw her as a moderniser and quite possibly saviour of the Royal Family, who were otherwise seen as stuffy, haughty, old-fashioned, distant and increasingly irrelevant to modern British society. Her work with HIV/AIDS patients in particular, earned her the unofficial title of "Queen of Hearts" which the popular press of the day began to use - as did her work with homeless shelters and rough sleepers - whom she took her sons (whom she dressed in ordinary children's clothes and no in mini-business suits as all other child princes had been), along with her to such places and to also familiarise themselves with the plights of real people. Her husband did not feel he could follow suit however, and they increasingly grew apart. Perhaps it was little wonder that Charles found solace in the woman he had so long been denied - especially as Camilla's marriage was also in trouble and both ended up divorcing their respective spouses. It is for this reason that Queen Camilla remains "the other woman" in the eyes of many, who do not feel that she is worthy of her position or title.
Geez nobody reads all that
@@mrdarren1045I do. XD
I did
Charles could not marry Camilla because she was a woman with a past. Charles had to marry a virgin. Charles hoped that he would be able to work something out with his parents so he could marry Camilla. When Charles was on a tour of duty with the navy, he was gone for msny, many months. Camilla got tired of waiting for him and married Andrew Parker Bowles, another man she had deep feelings for. Camilla and Charles wouldn't be allowed to marry because Camilla would have to get a divorce, and the Church of England would not allow royals to marry someone who was divorced. Charles and Camilla thought after Diana had done her duty producing a heir and a spare that she would be a good little wife and fade away into the background and they would be able to carry on their relationship. It's a well, known fact that most male royals had other women on the side. This WASN'T the case with Prince Philip. The relationship between Charles and Camilla never really ended.
@@mrdarren1045 I did too, though somehow I can't imagine Tyler making it the whole way through. If only he'd read people's comments more often and more thoroughly, he'd have learned (or remembered) a lot more by now than he has.
On his wedding day, Charles wore cufflinks given to him by camilla. He refused to wear the ones she had gotten him. I think she knew then. That he didn't really love dianna.
Rubbish. They had a letter "C" on them which denoted Charles. And the 2 "C"'s? Well as everyone knows on cufflinks you have 2 ends to go thru' the holes on one sleeve - one C on one side and another "C" on the other side (Probably oval in shape but could be round). On a set of cufflinks you will have 4 "C"'s. Do you believe everything you read in the press? Would YOU actually do that? NO.
There was a lot of fake news back then and you have to use your own judgement and thoughts to see a more likely scenario.
I can imagine that perhaps from the age of 25 /26 he was pressured in to marrying from all sides to have an heir and a spare as he was next in line to the throne. To have most of his relations going on about it year after year. He knew his duty. They looked around and everyone thought Lady Diana was the best - no history of boyfriends, parties etc. The Queen Mother, Lord Mountbatten and parents too - even the government of the day might get involved as their want to do (when is Charles marrying to continue the line).
He tried his best to start with but over the years it just didn't work. They had only met half a dozen times before they married and the 12 year gap in ages, plus they had nothing in common. Doomed from the start imo. Charles should have married Camilla from the start as now has been proven. Even you can see how happy they are.
Diana [who would have been the same age as me if she had not tragically died} was so influential in breaking down the stigma surrounding AIDS - I had friends who were ostracised by society & then Diana hugging people with AIDS made them less of a pariah to the general public. Her legacy is really her lovely sons ... she would be so proud of them ...
Her Funeral was the second most watched event in history behind the Queens passing..i guess that says it all...
Tyler, I wish your take on the revenge dress was true😂 It would've been hilarious if she turned his favourite blanket into a dress! You make me laugh 🤣
"Shattered *dee* *eye* "
OMG, LMAO
don't let him know that 'Di' is short for 'Diana' 🤣🤣
Diana is from nobility and also a descendant of Queen Victoria.
She was Lady Diana spencer.
She was the daughter of the previous Viscount Althorpe.
Her grave resides on her brothers estate as he is the new viscount.
Charles Althorpe is an Earl. He was Viscount before his father died and he inherited the title.
I don't think she was a descendent of Queen Victoria: her blood ties to the Royal Family were much further back (Charles II in the 1600s?).
Former Pime Minister Tony Blair named Diana "the peoples Princess". She was, by her own actions actually Britain's first celebrity Princess. That's why she was so popular in USA.
Blair was a war criminal and complete scumbag. I don't care about one thing he said.
In my opinion, Diana was so likeable in the U.S. because she was beautiful, compassionate, and likeable. She was genuine and not 'above' talking and interacting with regular folks which is very appealing to Americans where royalty means nothing.
@@sunniertimer598 I don't mean that statement to be negative to Americans, it does sound a bit harsh reading it back. I actually agree/understand that the royal institution is of no importance to Americans but Dianas public image and life was. Her royal status allowed her to be as you describe publicly.
Definitely not an ordinary person she was the Daughter of Earl Spencer who also has links to the monarchy she was groomed to marry into top families they own a massive house and estate she was of what we call aristocratic blood by no means ordinary
HI TYLER
DEBBIE HERE FROM SOUTH WALES UK
I was a huge fan of Princess Diana, she was our first Princess of Wales for many a long year
Our last Princess of Wales was:
Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes of Teck. Born 26 May 1867 Became Princess of Wales on 9 November 1901 until she became Queen Mary in 1911 her husband King George V, they were Queen Elizabeth II paternal grandparents.
I found Diana to be very relatable and the most human kindest person in the royal family. Her humanity knew no bounds
After her divorce from Prince Charles (now King Charles III) she helped in fighting the war against land mines.
Prince Charles had an affair with Camilla all throughout his marriage. Camilla was also a guest of honour at his wedding to Diana.
She was more royal than the Royal Family!!!!
There was nothing regular about her engagement ring, she could have had one from the royal collection but chose a very expensive new one.
It wasn't expensive, it cost £47,000. Chosen from a catalogue rather than bespoke made.
It is said to be worth £400,000 now.
She broke the stereotypes surrounding HIV patients and was very hands on in charities she supported. She was a very involved parent to her children, which was not common at all in the Royal family. I was 14 or 15 when she died. I was up at 4am to watch her funeral live. She was truly loved by people all over the World.
Diana is an icon because of her charity work, she was also one of the first royals to "use" the press to her advantage. Prior to Diana the Royals didn't really speak about anything personally and held themselves completely removed. Truthfully, with Harry and Megan we probably all wish this would be the truth again. Charles was not heartbroken about the affair. Mad for talking about it maybe... Charles had a mistress from before the marriage. (Camilla). He had the love of his life but was not allowed to marry a divorcee with children. Diana was chose for Charles because she was young and naïve enough
She may have been treated badly, BUT, she was no angel once the cameras were off. I knew someone who worked VERY closely with the Royal Family at times. He said that all of the RF were very friendly and informal once out of public view, with two exceptions! One was Princess Margaret, the Queen's sister and surprisingly . Dianna! She treated the 'little' people VERY badly!
This video barely scratches the surface of Diana’s life. You should look into more very very interesting,sad and tragic. She was truly iconic 👌 x
Exactly! It should have mentioned more about her charitable acts, supported campaigns and similar i.e. Visiting Angola, walking through a landmine area, which helped result in a Landmine Ban Treaty (signed by most of the world).
Yes,so much more than just mixing a few names up at the wedding 🤷♀️
Totally agree. Watchmojo uk keeping us brits baffled as usual
You may now kiss the bride is an American thing. It is not part of a wedding service here.
She was not the first royal to work!
Prince Phillip served in the navy, princess Annes first husband worked too
I though she worked before she was a royal. Not afterwards
The revenge dress was that it was a revealing dress for the time and also for her status and also she wore it to an event the same evening Charles’ documentary/interview aired on tv to take away the attention from him which totally worked he looked like an arse and she looked amazing and powerful
I will give this one a miss not overly keen on her with what she did
I was in alder hey hospital, when i was 11 when Diana came for a visit. She visited the wards and gave gifts out. As they were wrapped they were random. I was given a doll and I started crying. She gave me another gift in its place which turned out to be boggle. She was lovely and I cried when she passed and I still think of that day often.
Diana also championed victims of landmines and encouraged countries to remove landmines once their respective wars were over.
She was truly a beautiful woman inside and out 💕💕🙏🏻💐 I was devastated that night when I heard along with many other people RIP Princess Dianne 💐
More princessn diana moments plssss.
Yes it would be good to see more of her aid work
Her death was shocking, but she died because her “trusted chauffeur” Henri Paul was a drunk and a drunk driver she also didn’t wear her seat belt, the only survivor from the car crash was wearing his seat belt
It was absolutely the biggest wedding of the century.
The Spencer family are part of the UK's Aristocracy, Jane Spencer had dated Charles before Diana. She was different to the stiff Royals and to her credit she did make her sons queue at theme parks as well as all the stuff reported here. The Martin Bashir Interview is a huge controversy and has been the recent subject of litigation in the UK which has forced apologies from the BBC which aired it. Sadly Diana became tabloid fodder after the "Annus Horribilus" but we remember her work with Aids/HIV and campaigns against things like minefields more than we remember "Squidgygate" or that time Charles wished he was a Tampon as part of "Camillagate".
Charles was in touch with Camilla throughout, before, during & after the marriage.
It was the interview she gave about her marriage that killed it completely. She was tricked into giving the interview by Martin Bashir. Afterwards she realised she'd made a massive mistake, contacted the Palace press office to ask if the interview could be stopped but she was told it was too late. She regretted it, especially when the Queen told Charles that, after all the problems Diana and Charles had been through, the marriage had to end. It wasn't a case of the RF not liking her, it was the fact that she was paranoid, had several mental problems which made her hard to deal with. She publicised many good causes but she could be demanding and her friends had to be available 24/7. If they couldn't do that they would be ghosted. She was also guilty of telling the paps where she was going to be and then complaining about being harassed, which pi$$ed off the papers. Basically she was a paradox.
The whole lot of 'em are tapped anyway (And this is me being polite)
Was tricked is putting it kindly. He forged bank documents to convince her she was under surveillance by Charles. This led her to distance herself from the royal family and royal protection. Ultimately she might still be alive today if it wasn’t for Bashir.
Harry is very much his mother's son. Same mental issues.
And for what it's worth, Charles didn't stray until after he had learned that Diana had strayed first. He'd always been friends with Camilla, but Diana started her affair with her bodyguard Barry Mannakee months before Charles began his affair with Camilla. Of course, allegedly.
@@nathieboy1987 I don't think any of us know who cheated first.
Princess Diana was most lovely and kindness for lots of people and she did change lives of millions. She represented charities with her cause to bring awareness in charity organisations. Her death have change Royal family and we never forgot the her beautiful heart because she was and still people's Princess. RIP Princess Diana ❤😢
Her sons wife Kate has the same charisma like Diane did..❤
Kate looks rather thin, I hope she is OK,
I really don’t think Kate has charisma at all. Nothing against her but definitely not the charisma of Diana. I would more compare her to the late Queen Mother
Looking good these days Tyler!
She was a carer , that what she was.
Just to clarify, her father was an Earl which is minor royalty so she was never a 'common' person.
Nobility, not Royalty.
Diana was very manipulative but she had empathy and was a caring soul unlike some!!!
The interview was the first time the royal family’s intimate stuff was discussed in public
In many ways Diana was more royal than the royals because she was descended from Charles II through his mistress Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland, Countess Castlemaine and was almost entirely English/Irish, while the British crown is essentially German.
The 'Revenge Dress' was indeed shocking at the time. Although by then Diana wasn't technically royal, she was generally regarded as so and was the mother of the future king. In those days royal women seldom wore dresses or skirts above the knee - certainly not so high above the knee. Furthermore proprietary held as a general rule, off the shoulder dresses should be longer in length, preferably floor length. To wear a short, off the shoulder dress was unheard of. And it was black! It was worn the same evening the then Prince Charles gave his reply televised interview to try and repair the damage done by Diana's televised interview. Also both interviews were given at a time the Queen's 'never complain, never explain' edict was still very much a thing. My (quite posh), mum nearly had a fit of the vapors.
She was not an "ordinary" person. 🙄
She was a member of the British Aristocracy.
She was "Lady Diana Spencer" the youngest daughter of John, 8th Earl Spencer. Who was an equerry to King George VI, the late Queen's father.
Her mother was Frances, a daughter of 4th Baron Fermoy.
Diana's parents were married in Westminster Abbey.
Her grandmother, Ruth, Baroness Fermoy was a personal friend and confident of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen mother.
The current 9th Earl Spencer is her brother. There are two older sisters. Sarah and Jane.
Her father (who was reported to be a violent man) was divorced from his first wife, and married Raine, ex wife of the 9th Earl of Dartmouth. Raine was the daughter of Barbara Cartland the famous Romantic Novelist.
She was quite essentially fooled into giving that interview by Bashir the interviewer as well, believing that she was being investigated by the security services and the like of the country and fooled into believing that if she didn't break the news the press would (they weren't though I don't believe I can't exactly remember how it went).
Is what I firmly believe is why when she was offered protection by The Met she rejected or refused it, because she was likely paranoid by what Bashir was saying (even making up bank statements to prove it, was a big scandal that Charles Spencer her brother really regrets introducing them, I really feel for the Earl Spencer (as thats his title, was him whom gave Diana's Eulogy thats written at her memorial in Althorp.
Gutting doesnt even come close to say I'm gutted, as no matter which way one looks at it I think that interview is what did her in.
she was already royal
Few brides say to obey these days,but it was the usual nationwide in uk when Diana married🎩
She was an aristocrat, certainly not from a normal background, but from the so called elite
Thank you Tyler...for being compassionate to Diana...who everyone loved..
Coverage of the "Revenge" dress intentionally drew coverage from Charles's interview 🎩
I'm sure Charles knew all about anything she was getting up to. He was in love with Camillla and should have been allowed to marry her initially. There was a certain instability about Diana. I think she was a very kind person and thoughful but not suitable to become a member of the royal family. She was already a member of the aristocracy and knew what their world contained but even she couldn't fit in. It's not surprising that Megan couldn't make it as she was raised so differently. She didn't stand a chance. He didn't mention how Diana campaigned against landmines. She helped to raise awareness from the problem that affects so many people.
She was too sensitive and naive to be in the Royal family- but I think she made an amazing Princess. She made the best of it. I think Fergie is another amazing story. Take a look at Diana and Fergie.
Hi Tyler
Think you really need to see the whole interview before you judge. It's worth remembering that actually CHARLES got the boot in FIRST!! She WASN'T THE FIRST to do a TV interview!!
A bit of Triva although John Travolta danced with her , she was a lover of Ballet but who she truly wanted to dance with was Mikhail Baryshnikov who was also a guest that night but the Regan’s got the wrong vibes and paired her off with J Travolta . There was much more to Diana’s life good and bad decisions but on the whole she was a great asset unfortunately Charles didn’t love her they both had Phycological issues related to their upbringing and were as different as chalk and cheese and should never have married as for Diana’s feelings I think she loved him in her own mixed up ways and not being compatible it’s been said after their divorce they were on good terms with each other . Those were the days 🤣like now with her son Harry never out of the news for different reasons 🤷♀️
Her father was a " lord"... not quite a " normal" citizen... remember Queen Elizabeth worked in a factory ( or similar) during WW2.
An Earl.
@@ivylasangrienta6093 also Viscount Althorpe.
@@ivylasangrienta6093 i stand corrected... but he wasn't a cokney publican .
She was a mechanic in the auxiliary territorial service.
@@lynn69jackson I knew it was something like that thanks . I guess she would have kept that quiet. Once your mates find out you are a mechanic they want you to fix their Ford Anglia.
No she was one of the Aristocracy her father was the 8th Earl Spencer and a bloodline to the Scottish Royal Family the Stewart’s she lived in a HUGE Mansion Althrop Charles dated her sister and Diana used to play with Prince Andrew as a child as she was nearer his age than Charles am so NO she did not come from an ordinary family 🤣
The revenge dress was such a big thing because wearing black outside a funeral or if it was not commanded
Princess Anne had her two children at St Mary's before that. (I looked it up)
Reveng on Charles,LOOK WHAT YOUR MISSING.
Wasnt the first time the Spencers had done something high ranking either (as an Earl is kind of the mid rank of the aristocracy, or so to speak with the Dukedom being at the top and a Baron being at the lowest rank), Georgiana Cavendish (nee Spencer she's a ancestor Aunty of Diana's as a result) when Georgiana married William Cavendish I think he was the 2nd Duke of Devonshire making her the Duchess she actually was pretty much the same as Diana though just earlier (and was a compulsive gambler William being made to bail her out financially least once (think was three times in total)).
How do I send you some links?
He married Diana out of convenience as a virgin to bring him his heirs to the thrown. Everyone knew that him and camelia were still together, even Diana looked for camelia in her wedding to charles
Lady Diana Spencer was a member of a very significant aristocratic family.
Please listen before commenting.
Her title was never "Princess Diana". Only a daughter, or granddaughter through the male line, of a Monarch can be titled in such a manner. eg. Princess Anne, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Princess Charlotte.
Her correct title was Diana, Princess of Wales ... or .... Princess Charles, of Wales.
In the same way the Press and Public have got the current Princess of Wales wrong. She is neither Princess Kate or Princess Catherine.
Her correct title is Catherine, Princess of Wales ... or ... Princess William of Wales.
As a cross reference, try checking out the wife of Prince Michael of Kent.
He is the younger brother of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra. They are first cousins to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The children of George, Duke of Kent, a younger brother of King Edward VIII and King George VI.
Grandchildren of King George V and Queen Mary.
Prince Michael's wife is never referred to, or known as Princess Marie-Christine. Because he has no subsidiary title, eg. like his elder brother, the Duke of Kent, whose wife is Katherine, Duchess of Kent ... or Princess Edward of Kent.
So Marie-Christine is only known as Princess Michael of Kent.
Check it out on Google or Wikipedia.
I suspect by far the majority of the British Press and Public are oblivious to these facts.
😊😉
I would say most of us Brits know this.
@@lj2257 That is reassuring. I would like to believe so..... 👍
There is no tradition in the Church of England of "kissing the bride" at the altar and the marriage service has never included the cringeworthy "You may now kiss the bride!" that one often used to hear said by judges conducting weddings at the courthouse in American westerns at the cinema. Charles did not forget to kiss Diana at the altar any more than Philip forgot to kiss Queen Elizabeth at their wedding or Prince Albert and Queen Victoria.
You will often see this unseemly behaviour at modern weddings in these islands now because of the influence of popular culture and the relaxation of rules of formal conduct.
Even the kiss on the balcony is a relatively recent innovation. Charles and Andrew did it but I do not remember it happening at earlier royal weddings e.g. Princess Anne, Princess Margaret, Princess Alexandra, Princess Marina or King George and the Queen Mother. It would have been unthinkable for there to be such a public display of affection.
11:31 Shattered Detective Inspector😂
My daughters are 19 and 14 and they really do not like the royals but they love Diana! Their generation adores Lady D . Here in the UK she still in our hearts!
You shouldn't speak for others. I believe the memory of this woman should be left in peace and I know of many others who think the same. She was remarkable in her time but that time has now passed.
@@Pooky-Cat look, it is not me! Instagram is full of Lady D pictures and deeds and that’s where my kids and their peers got to know her! I did like her, I won’t deny it but I was never obsessed with her. She was on tv every other day , of course she is part of out collective memory. As for the present, well none is like her.
Its called the revenge dress
Why are you surprised about the interview? You were literally watching a clip from it 😂
It's Di to rhyme with fly,not D-i,Tyler,in uk that's the abbreviation of Detective Inspector lol😂🎩
You have to remember that at the time, adultery by or with the wife of the heir to the throne was still punishable by beheading - as one of three kinds of high treason. Line of succession stuff, see.
The most iconic moments, that made her so loved:-
AIDS - This was a big scare in the 1980s. Diana visited the dying in hospital and hugged the victims. I can remember a gay American man close to death crying with happiness after she had spent some time with him. She changed out attitudes to that disease.
Then her work to stop land mines. There is film of her in Africa wearing protective clothing in a mine field. Then she had an African child on her lap, who had lost his legs on a land mine. Diana’s campaign changed international law on the use of these devices.
Every man in Britain was in love with that lady - apart from one of course.
The thing is Diana became more popular than the Queen. Even the Prime minister at the time Tony Blair had to talk the Queen into making a public appearance with the tributes of flowers outside Buck palace.
Yes, it was quite an extraordinary moment in time wasn't it? I remember the bad feeling towards the Queen in the wake of Diana's death. I also remember rushing home from work to watch the Queen address the nation when she was pretty much forced to return to London.
She was not a normal relatable person. She comes from one of the most aristocratic families.
The landmine issue shot to international prominence in 1997 when Princess Diana walked through one of HALO's minefields in Angola. Shortly after her visit, the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty was signed, calling for all countries to unite to rid the world of landmines. Prince Harry continues in his mother's footsteps. (The Halo Trust).
Charles and Diana had been separated about 3 years by the the time of the interview 🎩
The saddest thing about Diana for me here in Australia, was that Charles loved a married woman in Camilla Parker Bowles on a regular basis for many years, something that continued after Charles married Diana and he considered it to be completely normal. This triggered Diana to seek solace outside the marriage as well. Charles is now married to Camilla, something I find very difficult to accept.
Jeni10: Many people will never accept Camilla being Queen and some are not too happy with having King Charles as King because of how Diana was treated. In the past, our late Queen Elizabeth's sister Margaret was not allowed to marry the man she loved because he had been divorced. That Royal rule has been turned on it's head by all the shenanigans of more recent times.
You forget that Charles and Camilla were in love waaaay before the Queen refused Camilla as a wife for Charles, and found him another girl... (that he didn't want or choose from the start). So he got married, she got married, he had two children, she had two children, she divorced, he outlived his wife... and all this time they remained in love with each other. And finally they could be together. If no one had said no to their engagement in the first place, there would have been much less sorrow in their (and their families) lives. This said, I adored Diana, and when she died I cried like a baby 😭😭
Yes...agree with you....he was not loyal to her at all....how painful...to married to someone who loves someone else....deeply hurtful...hate Charles for breaking her heart...by marry her but he loved someone else....hate Camilla...who was jealous...of Diana.
@@janejohnstone5795 Diana was known for her multiple affairs with married men. She grew up in that world and knew what her role was.
There is literally a leaked phonecall between Charles and Camilla, when he was still married, where he says he would love to come back in the next life as Camilla’s tampon.
And lest we forget him saying on his wedding day, asking if he loved Diana,
“Whatever that means.”
Diana deserved better him and his gross family.
Unfortunate typo in the description !
*Fun fact*
*Lady Di* was a *Duran Duran* fan. 😏
The "Royals" were so stuck up ...
They couldn't handle her being the only true human among them! 🙄

I Ross take thee Rachel 😂
Diana was known as Lady Diana before she became Princess Diana. Charles spent his wedding night with Camilla who now is his wife, so charles has the gall to be upset.
how would you or anyone know that!!
@@eileentaylor1691 Causes Charles admitted years ago and Diana also said too that's I know, I didn't get the info from thin air lol.
Diana is a British national treasure, make no mistake!
Not a normal person. An aristocrat who grew up at Sandringham alongside Prince Edward and (offhand) Andrew, and who was directly descended from the kings of England, Scotland, France, and Spain, among others - including William the Conqueror. That said, she did fail her O Levels, and she did have a job.
If I remember right, the interview was after she and Charles had separated.
Charles knew Camilla from being young, and they spent a lot of time together. He probably should have married Camilla rather than Diana - except she was already married.
