Charles had a great asset in Diana but was too arrogant and jealous to appreciate her. She was lovely.❤

[@marinamuller9177]

Bella Princesa Diana

[@leniereyneke]

Yes if that beautifull Diana was only knowing whar is waiting for her. If she only knew she signed her deàth ceertificate and not her married certificate the day she got married tk Charles. She was so let down and all the royals inueding the queen were jealous on Dianas fame and popularity. What a beaaut she was. Allways friendly. Allways so perfectly dressed. We will never forgetthis beautifull angel that was mjrdered so cruel. Forever. Our queen of hearts. ❤️🌹🫅🌹❤️

[@marinamuller9177]

I wonder how many people will come out and cheer for Charles and Camila??????

[@cristinaserban3488]

WOW,the King was a big dancer ,he dance very faster!The Princess was very beautiful !

[@EsterKunin-zs2dw]

Why do popular peope, even presidents and popstars always arrive late to keep their fans waiting? I think it's cruel.😮😢

[@jacintabyline]

The Alice Springs commentator looked like a very young Ross Coulthart (though his name wasn't shown on screen). Now well known for his brave and enlightening UAP coverage.

[@EsterKunin-zs2dw]

Prince Charles seemed pretty popular here still. What was his problem?😮

[@marinamuller9177]

JELOUSIE JELOUSIE JELOUSIE!!!!!!!!!

[@Pentagone-II-]

Charles détestait cette pauvre prince qui ne comprenait pas pourquoi son époux était désagréable et dédaigneux avec elle. Charles tu devrais carrément te cacher toi et tavache.

[@Roma-SRyan]

Harry does favor a younger Charles. Harry has Charles eyes and nose but with Diana's jaw

戴安娜王妃她的風彩萬丈迷人壓過了王室任何人°

[@catherineannelockman3805]

So, I guess because there were two spares, Charles and William were allowed to travel together?...😮

[@Hippielove90]

Harry wasn't even born yet.

[@BonnieBlair-zm4uu]

​@brittniestafford6105 Prince Charles & Prince William were both spares (not supposed to be on same plane, in case of crash but Diana asserted herself & insisted baby 🍼 William Wales go to Australia 🦘 🌏)since QE2 on throne & Harry not born yet.
