Princess Diana had more blue blood than all the Royals together. What a wonderfull princess, first only and last beautifull princess in this world!!
I’m a welshman myself. Her welsh was 95%. Really impressive. 😮
I didn't understand what she said until she translated it, but I do love her voice.
My grandma was born and raised in wales. She was a welsh-woman to the bone. She came here to the states when she was 19 to further her education and get her teaching degree.
After retirement, she raised me, her granddaughter, from my age of 2 - 17 years old. She was warm, loving, and dedicated to my education. Her accent was very heavy and she often, as she entered her elder years, spoke English with welsh words mixed in. As a toddler I understood her completely, although many other people meeting her for the first time couldn’t lol.
I am in my 60’s now, and my grandmother has long since passed away. However, I often hear the welsh language spoken, and get a Deja VU type experience as some of the words must trigger a memory of words spoken to me as a young girl.
One thing I know for sure……WELSH IS HARD!!
It's funny because she sounds like she still may have her regular accent for the most part, although I can't say for sure since I don't speak Welsh. It still sounds beautiful.
BS. she was utterly usless creature.
Please I want to know what she said in Welsh?
this is a 22 year old girl, from a very sheltered life in provincial England. Think about being swept up by the "royal family" to be bride to a strange man, 13 years her senior. And let's be real... Charles wasn't exactly what you would call a hunk of burnin' love!! No Prince Charming, to be sure,(with horse faced mistress ,Camilla, waiting in the wings)!! Lovely Diana did her duty for England. I always felt she was a simple, sweet, beautiful young woman who was forced into an impossible relationship. She deserved more happiness in life than she was ever allowed to have. Normally, I am not a sentimental sap, but I still tear up when I think of her untimely demise.
great post!
Me to. I dont buy into celebrity culture.
But this woman is so enchanting and beautiful.
Makes one think of a Helen of Troy or a Cleopatra, except infinitley more Real, Vulnerable, a vision to behold.
A Gods devine aesthetic vision; an infinite light from Wthin her that illuminates outwardly and beyond;
Every tiny gesture, every slight vocal inflection and casual glance like an enchantment.
Her Beauty and Grace and Spirit is a Prophecy.
Spanning years and decades, to reach out to us in the present and grabs us by the Heart.
+wendy schwimmer She was a good woman and feisty, but let's be honest, sheltered, she had never been. She had been a lady before she married. Her nee was Spencer, a close relation to Winston Churchill's family. Hardly sheltered at all. I read somewhere that during a hotted discussion between her and the Duke of Edinburgh, he threatened to ask the Queen to strip her of the royal title, she was unfazed at all and supposedly replied to him that "Philip, mine is older than yours", allegedly referring to her original title, and insinuating that the Duke is only a duke because he married to the Queen, and his background is from a much lesser European Royal family whose country is much smaller and weaker and poorer and the family had been uprooted during the civil revolution.
Hi Luka. You are right, and much better informed on the subject than I. I found your information most interesting. Admittedly, I have avoided reading/watching any so called
"biography" offered up by alleged inner circle. Therefore, my comments were based on a purely emotional reaction to her plight. I am GLAD to hear she put Philip in his place! I just adored her because she seemed like such a kind and genuine young woman. Thank you so much for the bit of English history. Cheers!
+wendy schwimmer I don't buy celebrity and royalty but Diana had a humanity that is totally alien to the Royals: Of whom the rest I have no time for.
she had the voice of an angel
effooo2000 Have you ever met an angel?
rayginhulk74 No Diana died before my time
@Geraint Thomas You're thinking of Charles and Camilla there.
She HAD the voice of one
Not the morals of one
She looked nervous, but very beautiful & elegant..
She was a not beautiful person
@@diyaaich8476 why?
@@diyaaich8476she was the most beautiful royal in the royal family
@@diyaaich8476neither was your mother
Beautiful and elegant she was. She certainly deepened the hell out of that family's shallow gene pool.
Movie Nerd lol ain’t that the truth
Yeah, Cymro,
Lots of us are related to them.
Wales is a small country with a limited gene pool. You are probably related to every single person west of Chepstow.
@Jossel Weinstein
In villages and small communities all across the world, people marry into relatively small gene pools. without thinking it at all unusual.
Prince William was gorgeous when he was younger, then Diana's genes said peace out and now he looks like his father
@@hannavercelli8099
Her looks like his Uncle, Prince Edward Earl of Wessex.
A princess in every sense...not just Princess of Wales..but of the world.
The queen of people's hearts!!
Here here
Not of my world. We abolished royalty
@@ferrarired1422 we r not talking about royalty ,

She was accomplished in many things. She could tap dance, dance ballet, play the piano. She could talk to people and put them at their ease. Wonderful, beautiful person xx
Sandra Kavanagh,
For the daughter of an Earl, she was seriously UNDER-accomplished.
She had, like many girls whose parent can afford it, dance lessons which included ballet and tap.
She DID play the piano quite well, as her maternal grandmother, Lady Fermoy, was a concert pianist.
She could also swim well
However, her behaviour at school was so unco-operative, that she failed her exams. She was then sent to a Swiss Finishing School, but dropped out. Her mother tried to get her to do a catering course, but she dropped out of that. She worked as an unqualified nursery assistant. (Being the daughter of an Earl does have advantages; otherwise she would have worked as a checkout-chickie.)
Her entire reading matter was Barbara Cartland novels in which the girl heroine marries a prince. She set her arget at Prince Charles, which was most unfortunate for HIM.
Her ne real talent was turning on an apparently guileless charm, which sucked people in.
In sucked in Prince Charles.
People in nursing homes loved her.
And male employees and officers from Wellington Barracks were only to delighted to drop their trousers for her.
@@MandyJMaddison you may not put any stock by it, but the talent she did have to radiate warmth and to reach out in an honest way to others, that is something that cannot be taught. No one was arguing she was the sharpest tack. She didn't need to be in her role. What she was was the only positive ambassador for the Royal Family at a time when they were all perceived as odd, distanced and completely out of touch.
Snuggles,
I do put store by it.
Diana had charm, and natural grace.
She was typical of the charming Narcissist. They throw you breakfast at you, along with the plate, and then walk out the door with little birdies flying to eat out of their hands, and the driver of the limousine just ready and waiting to drop his trousers.
Diana, beyond doubt, had the power to make people feel better, just by walking through a room.
Diana had charisma, an element which the Royal Family is singularly lacking.
At the time, Charles was being continually lampooned in the press about the ridiculous things he said about environmental sustainability, his advocacy of recycling, saving forests, eating ones greens, and taking a holistic approach to health.....
.. What a funny, eccentric, out-of-touch man he was!
(He even recycles his own poo-poo as fertiliser!)
Swimming as well
Snuggles McSquishbottom I disagree
The fact that she looks like she's about to puke before the speech makes you love her more. Such a... normal person, despite her status.
ruclips.net/video/4i2tJgPSTAA/видео.html
as a welsh speaker i can say that was a very good attempt, she did well
Just imagine, she could have been the Queen now.
Diana = Pure class
ruclips.net/video/4i2tJgPSTAA/видео.html
I'm not a royalist and would like an independent Wales but I liked her very much. She cared about Wales, supported Wales at rugby, as her son William does.
I think William actually identifies as Welsh, he can speak Welsh conversationally and is aiming to become fluent (he may have already reached fluency). He also supports Wales in football too. Harry is very English on the other hand. But William seems to take being Prince of Wales very seriously
@Geraint Thomas Feck knows mate, I'm not an authority on the Royals or even care that much, just some shit I read online *shrugs*
@Geraint Thomas Good comment. I almost typed a comment to the person who said that William supports the Wales football team. But then I read that you had put him straight. I think he was quite young. I was going to inform him about the Welsh republicans known as the Abergele Martyrs, who were killed when a bomb which was meant to derail Prince Charles' train, exploded prematurely. All the best.
@Geraint Thomas True mate. Social media and facts have never been good friends.
@@elwulfcoe1696 He can't speak a word of Welsh you muppet, just like his toff of a mother.
Sounds just like the queen.
Diana was the people's princess, and will never be forgotten, hip hip diana,
and so will Charles and his now-life.

I watched her wedding and her funeral. She was such a beautiful and kind soul. Of course, she was not without flaws like the rest of us, but oh what a loss. How we miss her so. 🙏
She was smart and yet duped by Charles and the ENTIRE royal family into thinking he found her enchanting and really loved her. So she married a prince to only become the brood mare for the "future" royals William and Harry. All the while Charles was bedding "a friend " of Diana's who was soon name the Rottweiler, Camilla Parker Bowles.
I like her nose and her smile she is very beautiful, Diana you still in our 💓💓💓
+Makeup by Honish:
I love her silvery freckles.
You must be blind.. the only attractive thing about it was her mouth and her hairhowever they started dying it way too blonde she was not very attractive at all other than those qualities only famous because married into the royal family she was just a human being like the rest of us full of flaws and she had many
+Ana Parada:
True, like the rest of us, she had her share of flaws...but not any more flaws than the rest of her family or the rest of us.
Agreed that sometimes that thick hair of hers was sometimes dyed too blond.
She had a very large bumpy nose !
@@leedelrey7914 its a greek / roman nose.
Diana is different from Kate.. .. Diana is unhappy so she threw herself to work tirelessly to forgot the pain inside her. Kate is lucky, she is loved, she is favoured... in summary Diana opened the doors for the next Royal fairytale marriages to be open and happy ... sad thing hers was not 😯
+Divine Deschabel:
Diana sure did pave the way for Kate and Meghan.
Diana, you are loved also by many worldwide.
Yeah ur right.
I HATE lies like this.
Diana NEVER "threw herself tirelessly into charity work".
It is absolute bullshit!
Dian took charity invitations, when it suited her... and always made sure that the Media were present.
She never worked hard in her life. And she dropped most of her engagements as soon as she could.
The TIRELESS worker is Anne, the Princess Royal,
So true
Diana made sure that her sons will get a happy marriage..
What ia beauty,like an angel
She was more amazing than most people realize. I miss her terribly!
God she is so stunning. Stunning. And her hair was always so perfect.
A Google User Yes these were her most beautiful years for sure
+A Google User:
Those huge, huge eyes expressed so much.
She had makeup artists and people doing her hair that's why are you an idiot?!yet there's homeless people in England and all over that area there a disgrace to go family the only attractive thing about princess Diana was her hair and her mouth that was it she was not very appealing other weiser a very good person she was just human like the rest of us stop all this idolization
Scarlett O’Hara is more beautiful and it’s Princess Diana’s charm that makes you blind to that she was just average looking with a big nose.
@@anaparada7219 I understood that u r too jealous of her and u r an attention seeker
She was extraordinary.
I just came here to show my son his granddad.. he's the one in the wig grinning and applauding down to the right.. the late Harry Crippin , C.E.O. of Cardiff City hall. R.I.P. Princess Diana did a beautiful job.. so her Welsh wasn't the best, she was terrified! Even so, she did well. She has my admiration for that and many other public efforts.
Yes it's a beautiful language that needs to be kept alive and well... I'm learning it and I live in the Midland USA, missouri
Princess Diana can speak Welsh better than the majority of South Wales 😂De Cymry nothing but traitors. Gwynedd am byth!
@@Wildboy789789 Even the Welsh don't general call the language "beautiful" 😁
Edit: generally
i m proud of your family
it must have been so hard for her to make that speech! Number 1 top social phoebia is fear of public speaking. Add that to the fact that she was naturally shy, can you imagine the courage it took to make this speech, and so many others! Like another commenter stated...she contributed much to this pathetic gene pool. And she taught her boys to be loving parents, which she never had.
My mother was told that she looked like Princess Diana when she was younger, and, loosely, she does. Diana was, such a beautiful you woman, and her voice is so nice. RIP, Princess.
Now imagine your mother wearing a crown and thinking that could be what Diana looks like if she becomes a queen and still alive
I love how proud she is of herself!
Oh my, that is the first time I heard Di's voice. Softness just like her appearance. Best princess in Great Britain's History. Can't help but think how she would adore her grandchildren today,.
I wish she could have been Queen
What a voice. ❣
so sweet, like the angel she was, and is.
Are you joking? I don't hear anything and people here in comment commenting like they hear her. Or I'm just crazy rn if I was then I'm gonna go ascending myself to heaven
ruclips.net/video/4i2tJgPSTAA/видео.html
Amazing woman
She was so lovely ! and so shy!!
Love her voice , so sweet and calm ♥️
Diana is a legend that will be remembered a thousand years from now.
Princess Diana reached out to everyone... she taught her sons to remember those that were deprived...the destitute, she took them to the homeless shelters. She is the kind or 'Royal' that we need now. She is looking over her sons and she was a genuinely flawed but beautiful human being who had a great heart.
She was so beautiful - inside and out. Even her voice was like an angel. RIP
There will NEVER be another Diana... "others" MAY TRY... for naught... RIP Diana... you will ALWAYS be loved...
Wow she was so Gorgeous 😍
beautifully spoken as being her first speech, fascinating 💓
What a beautiful and pleasant voice of the best princess in the world and queen of hearts forever.-
I love the way she blush, she is and will always be in our hearts....
Princess Diana charmed the hearts of citizens all over the world. She was cherished here in the states. Her treatment from the monarchy was cold and heartless. Princess Diana’s commitment to the job of Princess was to be admired, and Queen E should have at least given Princess D her due in that.
Princess Diana, whether the Monarchy took the title away or not, will ALWAYS be PRINCESS Diana to all of us. God rest her soul.
Beautiful beautiful soul. My goodness so achingly vulnerable! In all her interviews. I don't understand how any one could have ever been cruel to her. It would be like harming a baby lamb.
Of wood and ash,
THAT was the general impression that this highly attention-seeking and Narcissistic person tried to achieve....... oh, sooo sweet and innocent.....
she was a deceitful, conniving, game-playing, gaslighting bitch, whose main talent was helping officers of the regiment to unbutton their red coats and take their boots off.
@@ms.d5195
I think that what you have said here is absolutely correct.
The Royal Family have always maintained a formality about their physical interaction with the public.. The Queen is physically remote to the extent that she has only very rarely taken the arm of a person to climb stairs with no rails..e.g. at the Houses of Parliament. and she is 94.
Formal handshakes is what they do, unless they are Edward, and he avoids them if possible.
Diana was completely spontaneous in that regard, grew up in a family where as a toddler she was used to being lugged around by older sisters (never her mother) and was accustomed to handling other people's children in a familiar way.
When Diana touched a child or a needy person, it was always an affectionate touch, rather than a formal one.
Kate is more reserved than Diana, but Sophie Wessex is not. She simply doesn't have the amazing charisma of Diana that made every interaction with her seem to be surrounded by rainbow lights and falling stars.
There is a lovely clip of Sophie describing the dress that she is wearing to an elderly blind woman and putting the woman's hand on her chest so she can feel the folds in the material.
@@nagubaikadapa7761
Diana was a b*tch.
Diana said spiteful, cruel nasty things to people every day of her life.
Some people have a store of nice sayings that they bring out when people need comfort.
Diana was the opposite. She had a store of spiteful, witty little things that she tagged onto the end of discussions, and muttered in a low voice.
You don't believe me?
Just Google Princess Diana and LOOK at her face.
In formal photos she looks posed, but in informal pics, you can see the real person
* pic published by britannica.com in white jacket with blue colar
* pic published by Readers Digest with Charles, wearing beige coloured dress.
*Pic published by business insider wearing balck ballgown and the tiara she refused to return to her father.(so his wife, the Countess Spencer, could not wear it)
This is not a woman that you would choose as your sister, your bestie, or your wife.
@@MandyJMaddison don't even dare to call her b **, u son of b**
I would love to b her daughter

Diana will forever be Queen of our hearts around the world.....so sad she's gone way too early...she would have been an amazing Queen, mother-in-law and grandmother.
What is disturbing is that she knew her duty and she followed it perfectly : She gave 2 male heirs (misogynist's ideal) she gave the future genetic pool much needed beauty, humanity and grace, she was charismatic which is exactly how she had to be in a public position like a Princess, she was beautiful and appealing making the monarchy interesting, she was a loving and devoted mother to her children and in the end because she divorced Charles they take away her title and she has to bow to her own children because of the mess that Charles and Camilla did and to end up getting killed I mean, wow.
and that shows why the monarchy is shit, and should be done away with. After Elizabeth dies, Charles and Camilla should slink off into the sunset, and Kate and Will should go into the world doing good and having lots of fun with all the royal treasures. Really UK, do you want to continue this ridiculous travesty?? After what they did to Diana, I don't know how anyone in the UK would want to continue funding this dynasty.
@@w021353s
The Queen is Sovereign of 15 Commonwealth realms in addition to the UK. She is also Head of the Commonwealth itself, a voluntary association of 54 independent countries. The British empire is large and the monarchy has been around for over a thousand years with a rich history. It will continue to stand. As if any one person can change that fact. William will make a wonderful King and bring stability just as his grandmother has done. As will his children and descendants after him....
She didn’t lose her title?
Perfectly putted
Was the car accident preplanned!
I too loved Princess Diana, as a teenager I had photo's of her on my wall, I collected books, magazines, anything I could get my hands on. I waited for hours in the cold to get a glimpse of her when she & Charles visited my city in '83, I looked up to her & know there is no one else ever going to be like her or take her place. This is why I don't understand people comparing Catherine to her. I truly believe Catherine loves William and he loves her, and that's all Diana would have wanted for Will
Charles did not appreciate the asset he had in Diane, she really respected her role and responsibility. He was too dumb and selfish to work with her and be a team.
Yeah, that's a REALLY common theme. Look how that turned out for Whitney Houston.
Amen.
I think you may have a point. One does not always appreciate what one has before its gone.
RIIIIIGHT! HE WAS THE "IKE" TO HER "TINA" STATUS!!!!!!!! SOME MEN REALLY BE LIKE THAT! "THATS WHEN THEY WANT TO BREAK HER"!
Charles was looking for a mother and not a wife.
He found it with the old Camilla who gave him the love and attention Elisabeth never showed him.
She is stunning!!
She was a blessing to the world
I'd hardly call it a 'speech'. A sentence or two....but well done Princess Diana! Such charisma!
+DeeMor501:
Too nervous and shy to be "charismatic."
But she did great and was powerful in her quiet way.
She seemed quite a bit older than her years even then.
I will always wonder the Royals did not appreciate or like this refreshing, innocent woman? She was an untouched, untainted, openly genuine and loving virgin. Why and how could they treat her so badly?
She was a very special and extraordinary young woman. She departed this world far too soon.
Gorgeous ! She was better at speaking than she realised ! Love her always xo
Diana was so elegant and beautiful and charming. Words fail to describe her. Nobody can match upto her not even the Royal members of the Queen.
There's nothing she can't do she can dance,swim,play piano,speak multiple languages, do sighn language and ove course be a qween in people's hearts I've never met her but from what I've heard she was an amazing human being and still is too thus day.
I got goosebumps. She was incredible.
My 18th birthday was the worst. 8-31-1997 rest in peace Princess Diana
Beautiful I’m so glad she spent the time to learn my mother tongue she was the true princess of Wales
A princesa Diana era linda, inteligente, elegante, charmosa, gentil, humilde, sincera, simpática, comunicativa, carismática, amorosa, generosa e excelente mãe. Saudades!❤🙏🇧🇷
I bet Charles was jealous here too.
Wow she did really really well. She was nervous but did manage. How brave. When we do things that need courage it does make us better people.
Princess Diana really really Beautiful!
It was like Welsh without an accent. Like they said, passable. It was a very sweet gesture.
She was so lovely.
And were proud to have had her such a short time.
Aw so sad princess Diana is gone she was so beautiful and humble.
What a sweet lady she was. I think this was her first ever speech as the Princess of Wales.
It was...and despite her nervousness, she did beautifully.
I have never been a big Princess Di follower, but watching this video I really have to remark on what a singular beauty and presence she was.
Beautiful woman. We will love her forever. She IS our Princess. forever BEAUTIFUL. PERFECT.
What a beautiful Princess.
O god I'm speechless you make a ultra luxury 👌👌most most beautiful lady of this world⭐✨⭐✨princess Diana⭐✨she is live in our heart.
Bless her. SO LOVELY ELEGANT AND REFINED X
Beautifully said!
Imagine if she tried to say "Llanfairiforgottherestoftheword"
She was just so beautiful! Nobody is as beautiful as she is..this was the time before countouring, filter, filler..she is just beautiful. Her inner beauty shines bright!
Greatest lady, the most natural, true and empath lady.
She was and still is princess of the world. ❤
Now she’s the queen (or at least she should be)
The world has been fighting a long time for some women to never be queen 🙏☺️
What a beauty. Lovely Diana’s maternal great-grandmother was Frances Ellen Work, an American society butterfly who entered British nobility by marrying James Boothby Burke Roch, son of 1st Baron Fermoy. The princess always had a soft spot for America 🇺🇸
Just like her traitor son Harry.
Her great-grandmother did that at a time when a lot of Britain’s aristocrats were hurting for money to maintain their estates, and American daughters and granddaughters of the nouveau riche wanted to be accepted into the old-money upper classes. So the men got money and the women got status. This was true of Winston Churchill’s mother, too. There were many such marriages back then. Just like the one depicted on Downtown Abbey, Lord and Lady Grantham.
@@Historian212 Thank you for sharing! I love history!

O mg how gorgeous is she in this moment in time we all fell for her its not just looks she is glowing with goodness she has angelic presants

A fine lady in every sense.
Que mujer tan linda como un ángel 💕
Voice of an angel 😇
Diana will always be the world's princess!
My princess no one will be like her and neither will
a true princess in every sense of the word! she was a princess before she ever married Charles. Some women are special and one of a kind, they are born princesses, Diana was one such women. She shone a special kind of light that she radiated wherever she went and touched the lives of all those who met her. The world is a much darker place without beautiful, lovely Diana x
Right here a great example why she was chosen to be marry to Charles she was raised to be a noble woman as her royal blood line, she wasn't a commoner she was truly classy a Lady of society...
but a princess of the people nevertheless!
She was a "commoner"; an aristocrat, of the nobility, but she wasn't born royal. It's ok to be a "commoner". Some of the best people are.
