I think I recall Diana being told not to wear a dress that low cut again.
Am I imagining that?

Nothing against the rest of the Spencer family, but look at Diana's knowing smile. That picture looks like it's from a previous era. It was Diana who represented modernity, and does to this day. I will keep up with the pictures! It is my privilege! And it is the least I can do considering all of the great ones you are posting!

and a few rare pics of our people's princess, diana...lovely diana...

Diana is my angel....she passed away on my birthday.

Lori

that must have been very hard for you. i know we all remember exactly what we were doing that day and how we found out...

Thank you for sharing your story. I'll share mine. I saw it on the news, first that she had been in an accident, and then that she had died. I was by myself, and when my SO came home, I said, "Did you hear the news?" and I was almost hysterical, and he was looking at me like nothing was wrong, and then I said, "She's dead!," and then I let myself sink to the floor. I couldn't stand up anymore.

Then I cried for days, without stopping. My SO and my best friend and my family didn't really get it, but I was heartbroken.

I agree with everything you said about how we pay for all of it, and how the 'the people' have needs (like the homeless, like you said) that should be met, but Diana cared for us. She didn't have to. She was beautiful, she had wealth, she had position, she had privilege. It would have been easy enough for her to care about her title and everything that goes with that, but she cared about people. That's who she was. When I think of all of the good that she could have done in all of the years she could have lived...

I've read on a forum where people post about royalty that the Establishment has a view that goes like this: mothers of kings are forgotten and Diana will be no exception. Those are the literal words they use. No. Diana will never be forgotten. She has entered the realm of legend, and she will live there forever.

Now switching gears, this is the Burger King''s crown. I think it''s made of gold, with a yellow sapphire, and a ruby (or is it a spinel?

) and other gems.

Please forgive me for the links, fellow RJ thread members, but this site doesn't let you save their pictures. I think there is a way, but I'm going to have to work on it.

In the mean time, there are other pictures there for anyone who wants to post them.

This is an article about the Orlov diamond, the diamond in the link I posted. BTW, this is a GREAT site about diamonds. You might want to bookmark it. Click "Back" at the bottom of the page to get to the home page.
