I lead from the heart not the head

This blog is dedicated to the one and only Lady Diana Frances. I post and reblog pictures, quotes, gifs, everything related to Diana. Please feel free to send me any sort of question relating to Diana, I will answer them honestly and the best I can. NOT AN ACTIVE PAGE

Coming out of hiding to say a few words

I’m not here to comment on how Diana would feel about what’s going on between William and Harry, because I don’t know how she would feel.

I will say this:

Diana had TWO sons that she loved and adored very much and to me it seems that some are trying to change that narrative. Two kids lost their mother that awful day in August and some are making it out that one son had it worse than the other. That’s not fair at all. Everyone handles grief differently and some are able to move on 20+ years after the death and some aren’t. THATS OKAY! But Diana’s death impacted everyone in her life, not just certain people. Please remember that!

Diana had two sons ❤️

Goodbye ✌🏻

“For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they too lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer her today.”

“Today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated always that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now that you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult.”

-Charles Spencer

“Pink. I could say black, because black goes with everything, but her favorite color was pink.” -Ex Royal Butler Paul Burrell

“Our nickname for Diana was Blue Eyes, and no other person I know and photographed has that same sparkling look. She was always a beautiful woman, but her eyes were one of her most outstanding features. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes weepy; but always the part of her picture I looked at first. She could always melt the coldest heart with one look.” -Arthur Edwards (Photographer who first discovered Diana)

Do you know if there were any royal family members who were particularly fond of Diana?

Okay so I’m sorry that it took so long for me to answer you.

Prince Philip and Princess Margaret were fond of Diana. Philip even wrote a note to Diana during “Camilla-gate” that he was on her side. Princess Margaret was fond of Diana up until her infamous interview in 1995. Other members I’d have to do more research on.

(FX) said today that it has ordered a 10-episode second season of the anthology project (Feud), this time focusing on England’s sweethearts Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

The second season of Ryan Murphy’s anthology TV show Feud will focus on the so called War of the Waleses, Diana and Charles’s marital breakdown which was played out for the world’s media. I’m already dream casting

"It has been twenty years since our mother's death and the time is right to recognize her positive impact in the U.K. and around the world with permanent statue. Our mother touched so many lives. We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy."

Diana, Princess of Wales, never looked more lovely than when she was wearing Versace. His genius was in making the most of her voluptuous curves, perhaps, most famously when she sat next to Henry Kissinger at a dinner in New York and much comment was made on the appearance of her cleavage. This Gianni accomplished with an ingenious double-zip arrangement incorporated into Diana’s evening gown. Inside many Atelier Versace dresses, there is a lining which is fitted tightly to the body. This lifts and holds – Wonderbra-style – allowing the dress proper to merely float on top.

“We nearly got together on that St. Tropez trip. I was supposed to go onto the boat, and I’m quite glad I didn’t because it would have been so fresh when she died. I mean I was so upset by it anyway, but had I seen her just before I think it would have been even more upsetting.”

(George Michael)

“I was very upset when I saw the Panorama documentary, because she really didn’t seem well at the time. It did really me because I thought people saw her at her most vulnerable … and I kind of feel guilty because she did really like me as a person, and I tended to shy away from calling her because I thought she must have so many people calling her for all the wrong reasons. I knew she was so suspicious of people by then, so I would almost treat her the way I know some people treat me. I would presume it was an intrusion to call, when actually you know they’re lonely and would love to hear a friendly voice.”

(George Michael)

[shy-di]

“I was invited to the Palace many, many times before I actually met with her because I was so afraid of the publicity if we did become friends. And when we did meet, I think we clicked in way that was a little bit intangible, and it probably had probably more to do with our up bringing than anything else. She was very like a lot of women that have been attracted to me in my life because they see something non-threatening. Maybe because I take care of my sisters and I’m so protective of my sisters, women seem to smell that. So women who had a hard time growing up or feel that they were not… you know… when I was still sleeping with women my God it was absolutely all of the time.”
