I have always been a lover of all things Princess Diana. She was so beautiful...inside and out. Today would have been her 47th birthday so I must share with you a secret. She was my sister...soul sister that is. You see I had an older sister that passed away a day after her birth. My sister was born the same day as Diana. Being the girly girl I am, and having two brothers meant I always yearned for a sister. Diana became that sister as soon as I 'met' her as she was being courted by a prince. I was never a fan of that particular prince (sorry Charles) but had always been fascinated by anyone royal. I honestly believe that if the paparazzi was not chasing her car that dreadful night, the driver would not have been speeding.
So Princess Diana has a place in my heart........................................................
I've saved magazines featuring her.............................
Both before and after the tragedy.
My bookshelves hold books about her
Here is a commemorative glass candle holder engraved in her honor. It holds some dried lavender and rose petals from my garden.

A Lovely tribute to Diana. We lost her far too soon.

Fond, yet sad, memories of Princess Di - she was so lovely. Her style was amazing, her life ruined by the marriage to Charles. I think he did a terrible thing by making her his wife when it's so obvious now that he never truly loved her. It was just to gain an 'heir and a spare' as we Brits say! Her memory lives on though, even though she was not perfect either having been driven to find love elsewhere. Her death came far too soon - her boys, like all little kids, needed to have their Mum in their lives.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your pics and words Mandie - and I'm sorry you were unable to have your sister to share in your life. I never had a sis either, just my dear brother.
Enjoy this Fourth!
Fondly - Mary.
That is a lovely tribute to the Princess of Wales. Being British by birth I am a big fan of the royals, though some I favour more than others.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely blog.

What a lovely tribute. I really enjoyed your post. I was/am a big fan too. It is still hard to think that she has been gone as long as she has. She will always be timeless. I LOVED the rose picture too. Just beautiful! ~ xo ~ Joy
