This may make people side eye me but Princess Grace has officially become my favorite princess surpassing Diana. They are certainly the most "popular" or well-known, but my favourites are those who are actually truly royal and were more substance than image. Grace and Diana are too much image for me.

I see your point but the media also did that to them as well. After learning more about her through biographies and interviews she was very much a woman of substance. She did a lot of humanitarian work even outside of the press knowing about her. I love the daycare and orphanage she set up as well as many other things.

I sincerely think that Diana choosing to build a bridge between celebrity and royalty was a horrific mistake. Prince Philip is guilty of this as well since it was his brainy idea to launch "A Royal Family" and let the press/public into their intimate lives and he also courted actors and actresses instead of more respectable types. Ever since that was done, those two worlds connected, the royals have become more and more idiotic and less well educated/trained/cultured and have become people who sweat bullets over what the tabloids think of them. The TABLOIDS of all things.

There was a difference in the past but they are so irrelevant without a public figure joining their initiatives/work.

One thing I found unsettling about Harry's wedding, was how Oprah and the Clooneys strutted into St. George's Chapel as if they owned the place. George (Clooney) was acting like he was literally on a manic episode and couldn't stop 'acting. Amal strutted in like she had 'made it' and what on earth was Liv Tyler doing there? She had no real connection, not even to a solid career anymore and I believe that she (and others) were just invited to fill seats. The Clooneys didn't belong there and neither did Oprah and it shows how insane the situation is. For every celebrity invited, it could have been a person of substance. I have no idea how Elton and the Beckhams get invites and it is clear at least to me that despite the complete lack of any history, Beckham and Elton John and the Clooneys and Oprah are basically given the best seats in a sacred chapel that dates back centuries. I mean really, it's a complete slap in the face. I resent how entertainers are now thinking that Diana was one of them, when she wasn't and I dislike how royals actually think the opinion of an entertainer is supposed to matter in their decision making process. Same with the press, why are royals so hung up on headlines? What a tabloid writer thinks or writes about is nothing compared to what a head of state or diplomat thinks or writes about in their reports that they send to either each other or to their superiors.
