Diana, Princess of Wales - Myth, mystery and truth

Despite the fact that she never wanted to lose Charles, she never let up on him and never actually did anything to accommodate him or learn his interests. She sulked, made herself puke, insulted him in front of staff and allegedly hit him with a bible; just hitting someone with ANYTHING is assault and within a marriage, that is domestic violence. When you read about how she belittled his every interest, mocked him, then proceeded later in the (near end of) marriage to smear his reputation to a point where she blew up the unquestioned reality of hereditary succession, she was being pretty deranged and for someone who wanted to save her marriage, she certainly was making bad choices. When you throw in the tantrums and demands that her SOVEREIGN and in-law justify their own way of life/routines for her, it is clear that not one thing in the world would have made her happy. According to hospitalization criteria (and I do speak from experience) threatening suicide is enough to get someone locked up and so is self harm. Then there is the pathological lying and deception and it is clear that she needed to be locked up until she was stabilized, no matter how long it took. And then there will be the fact that "Her True Story" has been outed as a pack of lies and people buy the Netflix version as gospel. Quite bluntly, Diana's per-appearnce nerves just ticked me off. She just would not let up on herself or others around her. She married young, but in her way of life, she was not out of line with her way other women were. It is not like Diana was foreign to her own way of life and put bluntly, she made a terrible choice to try to indulge in 'normalcy.' She made the bad choice to make people believe that you can be part of that way of life and that the royal life is not all different from 'normal life' yet the reality (something Diana had problems accepting) is that it is impossible since the royal way of life is in fact paid for by taxpayers.

What made Diana cheap in the end, was how she threw away her different way of being to try to be 'normal,' but she was in the end just a beck and call good time girl. Her wedding dress was perfect for a Princess since a Princess is NOT supposed to be dressing like every other bride at her wedding and was not supposed to be wearing a tube dress at her wedding in nuptial mass in Westminster Abbey of all people. She threw away everything that made her special and exceptional and chose instead to be a silly little celebutante and inaugurate the era of celebrity activism where she wasn't so much one of many, but she was becoming the epitome of an era that has damaged the ability for geopolitics to be treated as seriously as it deserves. There are a TON of people whose life's passion involves studying, getting an education, and researching exhaustively, but they can't get access and meanwhile, a moron entertainer gets access despite having nothing intelligent to say. Charles could easily discuss innovative farming and speak about helping the struggling youth, but since he lacks charisma, he lacks the ability to connect like his ex-wife. Instead of facilitating and supporting Charles' work, Diana tripped him up every chance she got. Is it any wonder he got sick of her, that the 'establishment' ended up cutting her out and getting fed up? If I had been HM, I would have announced that Diana would be known as "Lady Diana Mountbatten-Windsor" and would no longer be addressed with any styles/titles that would denote a connection to the BRF. Then I would end up kicking her out of KP and tell her to use her own settlement to get a place of her own or hook up with one of her rich lovers and have them foot the bill. If she had pulled any of those power plays, I would have told her that if she refuses to consent to a divorce and drags this out, I would have told her to suffer and pawn her jewels and I would have thrown her out of her huge palatial suite and into a handful of rooms, maybe three or four basic rooms and told her to move out if she didn't like it. I mean really, for the palace to support Diana in the way that she did, plus income for her office maintenance, Diana should have been far more grateful. Once Diana started acting out in the way that she did, I would have ended up choosing to yank visitation with the boys until she straightened up.

As for her death, I think her fans have troubles accepted that Diana was no longer important to much of anyone in geopolitics. Diana being murdered by a government would encourage her fans to believe that Diana was more important than she actually was at that point in time and it is clear that she was just someone that officials were indulging, but expected her to go away at some point in time into the Siberia of celebrity irrelevance. Her fans can't cope with the fact that she was no longer important to really anyone other than the press that was making money off of her and second, Diana was having problems accepting the loss of official status that ended up coming from the divorce she wanted so badly. I also think that Diana freaked out at how the palace called her bluff many times and ended up making it clear that she would not bully them and she was shocked that after the divorce, that a lot of people were no longer going to receive her. If she had lived up to and past 2001, she would not have been able to adapt to a world that was in fact moving on past coddling entertainers and pretending to take the idiots seriously. Diana died in a car accident that was preventable and she died in an accident that is a cheap ending to a life that would have been so much better if she had made better choices.

I find it bitter that Diana thought so little of hereditary privilege despite the fact that everything she had was because of hereditary privilege. She really was brainless enough to blow up the previously unquestioned principle of hereditary birthright, but if not for it, she would be a nobody. Charles was Prince of Wales by birthright and the only reason that he was able to provide her with a privileged lifestyle that came with being his wife/consort. Then Diana gave birth to William, enhancing her stature and she ended up being enhanced because of the fact that William was in fact there by birthright, not accomplishment. Diana's Ladyship title came from her birth, not her accomplishment of successfully looking after a guinea pig.She gave the double finger to the very establishment she came from and who (up until Panorama and Andrew Morton) had her back every step of the way. Biographers all agree (with the exception of Andrew Morton) that the courtiers did all they could to help and did all they could to help her along. Even HM gave in all the time not wanting to upset Diana. Diana was loved and wanted and was someone who was welcomed with open arms and now she blew it all up. Her son is delusional enough to think that he can overthrow his father with no real consequences and Harry is running around Hollywood and likely running out of money and he has completely lost his dignity and respect.

What grates the most, is how Diana decided to shred Charles' rep all over the world mainly since she didn't get to remain and "HRH" and be crowned as Queen Consort despite being the ex-spouse. In my view, it was a naked power grab and I loathe how Diana didn't see that by questioning hereditary right and such, that she was allowing enemies of the monarchical system to justify it's removal. By admitting adultery with Hewitt she was bringing into question the legitimacy of her second son and then of course wrecking Harry's peace of mind. Then outing Camilla and wrecking Camilla's marriage and then proceeding to wonder WHY Camilla ended up moving in on Charles more intensely now that Camilla no longer had a man to support her financially or even a home left. I mean really. After Andrew Morton and Panorama, she justified/validated every little thing that the tabloids said, therefore choosing to empower the tabloids and permanently damage the ability of the palace to protect her and her sons from tabloids/media that was becoming increasingly out of control.
