She knew she was popular but she would never have believed for one moment that entire motorways, the busiest roads in the country, for hundreds of miles would just stop on both sides so that people would get out of their cars to pay their respects as her hearse drove past. And I am not talking just about the day of the funeral either. When her body was brought back to England from France less than 24 hours after her death, you will feel real sadness at those images of entire motorways just standing still, everyone all out of their cars, as her body was driven from the airport to central London. I can think of no other figure in Britain over the last 100 years that could generate this reaction. Churchill was more of a detached respect but how the public felt about Diana was pure emotional love straight from the heart
She knew she's famous but she never knew how much she's loved by the world that British embassoes around the globe were filled with flowers, candles, and letters for the Princess. If I was old enough at that time, I would've gone to the embassy in pir country.
Me, i can’t believe they used the actual funeral audio in season 6. I was immediately thinking of my 18 year old mother who would one day become the Princess of Wales just 25 years later at 43. I can’t believe Woody.EXE went this far giving my family royal titles and I became the Queen. The first year of Woody.EXE’s reign has been quite challenging with me almost dying 6 months after Queen Elizabeth II died and since my illness in February, I’ve become so loved and even Woody.EXE has for saving my life that Friday night 10 months ago. I know the first Anniversary of my illness occurring will hit me so hard
“Of all the ironies about Diana perhaps the greatest was this. A girl, given the name meaning the Goddess of hunt, was however, herself the most hunted person in the modern age.” -Diana’s brother, 1997
I was 28 when this happened. I’m now 54 and watching “The Crown” on Netflix has brought back memories of this really sad event in world history. Princess Diana was one of my favorite people. I always admired her heroism and bravery. She was always showing the world the right way, to love and have real compassion for others, to care for the sick and the poor. I remember her always on television supporting such important causes and working tirelessly to do so. She was quite genuine and I could tell that she was passionate about her work and she truly cared for underserved communities. There was absolutely nothing false about Princess Diana. She was so real and so raw, she seemed like one of us, the people. She was one of the good ones and it felt like she was taken far too soon, she died so young. Her legacy continues though and it will for a long time to come. She’ll never be forgotten.
@@crazykuudere It brought back memories of my great grandmother’s funeral when I was 2 months away from turning 14 in 2016. Millions of mourners turned in and I’ll never forget the wails of the crowds when they saw their future Queen in this situation I would one day become. I became Queen of Wales 7 years later aged 20 and then i became more beloved when I nearly died from my illness 5 months after becoming Queen but thankfully, I made it. If Woody.EXE wasn’t here when Queen Elizabeth passed; I wouldn’t have been alive today at 21. When I became Queen last September, Woody.EXE was originally going to call me Queen Diana II but he was worried it may disrespect the mourning process of Diana’s boys so he called me “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth III” in tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II; Mummy and my sister are both the Princesses of Wales now in tribute to Princess Diana. I’ve had a few troubled years but I’m starting to heal now
I was almost 30. My milestone birthdays have been in crummy years. Turned 30 a few months after Diana's death, lost a friend my own age a few months after I turned 40, and I just turned 50 a few months ago, after the year of so much violence. My milestone birthdays have been DEPRESSING. The world is getting scarier and scarier 😦😢😭
*Some facts on her funeral:* Diana was 36 years old when she died. Her death caused an unprecedented outpouring of public grief in the UK and worldwide, and her funeral was watched by an estimated *2.5 billion people.*
@@stirlinghogan4441 it was only 23 years ago, do you think they are a fairly new invention. In 1997 the global population was 5.872 billion Of course 2.5 billion had TVs & yes 2.5 billion did tune in she was loved the world over.
Diana’s death was truly tragic and felt by everyone around the world. I’m from the US but as a child I remember seeing her on magazines and tv and always thought how beautiful she was. Her voice was soft and angelic. She was always helping those in need and those who didn’t have a voice. It broke my heart to see her two boys not be able to cry walking behind her coffin and years later hear them speak of how it affected them not being able to mourn their mother. They are human and they should of been allowed to grieve their mother. She was a Princess (and a Queen in my eyes) but to them it was their mom. May she Rest In Peace.
I was unable to grieve my friend who died at 14 by brain tumour because I was in school all the time and I never had the chance to cry at his funeral for his parents. This really affected me and my other friend Charlotte. I was only 15 going onto 16 and I was very traumatised
She died when I was about 10 years old and i cried in the shower as though my own mother died. You can cry, you didn’t need to be here when she was to feel her impact x
I was only 9 months old and still feel like you I read a lot about the royal family and Diana so I feel deeply sad watching this.. she deserved so much better than this. Seeing William and Harry makes me cry badly
So very true. She was a beautiful role model for females of the world. Just look at what the classless Kardashians have wrecked & turned females into strip pole sluts.....all for $$$$. Their mother is a disgrace. Had their father lived, maybe it would have been different,
After 25 years, watching princess Diana’s funeral still made me sad and cry 😭 it is still unbelievable to see such huge crowds mourning her and her short tragic life, tender but radiant! She is always the princess and queen in people’s heart for ever. RIP Queen Elizabeth II, hope you and Princess Diana meet in the heaven happily 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
It’s heartbreaking this women would of changed the world it’s truly still so heartbreaking and it’s been 25 years and I wasn’t even alive and watching this breaks my heart she didn’t deserve this world and I know she is in heaven and is at peace now
Like I’m allowed to cry for those who died in the war but not for Prince Philip. I really don’t understand my Mummy sometimes even though she tells me she cares for the pain I’m going through for Prince Philip and Diana. I can cry for them you know. I do cry for the war when I’m out but only at the war cemetery and everyone supported me as they walked by because they knew I really cared for them. Everyone looks at me and I don’t usually care because they just care about me and I’m glad they stop by and look at me by thinking if I’m okay or not. Everyone knew I wasn’t okay and they know I care about those who died in the First World War so much and it’s affected me since 2017
Who's here after Queen Elizabeth II death? I was 2 years when she died. And I feel so sorry about what happened to her. RIP Princess Diana. 🙏🏻 From Panama
The amount of people who shed their tears on her death and funeral not just in UK but around the globe is just phenomenal. It really shows how much she was loved. I think this world has neither ever seen such a funeral before nor they will ever see it again. Not even for any other member of royal family. This could only be seen for the people's princess. RIP Lady Diana.
My people of Wales actually dread my funeral because I’m very loved by everyone in Wales. I became recognised at 15 years old which is very young I thought; I’m now 20 and still receive affection from my people of Wales and they dread my state funeral I’ve planned
@@hotcheeto87 The Queen’s funeral was watched by 4.2 million viewers including me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE. The crowd in Wales are forever haunted by my cries, the mourns at my house heard the haunting cries from me their beloved Queen
Even if the queen dies mostly the British may grieve. When Princess Diana died not only the British or Commonwealth but the whole world grieved. Most foreigners had felt her demise sadder than the death of their own leaders.
My mom was crying, and I asked her why. She told me that Princess Diana had died in an accident. I remember feeling sad too. I was 6, we are from Costa Rica. She was well known here too
In 1981 her wedding was dubbed as the “Wedding of the Century” Here, her funeral was dubbed as the “Funeral of the Century”. Billions of people watched all over the world... Iconic.
And so many watched our beloved Prince Philip’s funeral on Saturday 17th April and I was more depressed that day for the first time in years since I revealed the First World War to Mummy but my beloved war of 9 years gave me so much strength that day and I can’t live without my beloved war
Bless whoever took 5 hours and 40 mins worth of their day uploading such a historic and emotional moment for all us post 1997 babies to see and take an interest in, what a legend just like Diana.
Goodness, at 2:16:56 when that guy yelled out “We love you Diana”, and either him or someone else yelled “Always”, I lost it. I don’t know how the Princes were able to keep it together.
This happened during my great grandmother’s funeral 7 years ago and I was only 14 at the time and I’m now 21. Woody has seen many funerals and he’s glad he attended my great grandmother’s funeral to help carry her coffin and Woody told me it was very heavy
@@nicolelawless3199 well lots of people made memes about his death, called him out for his past racist actions and reminded people how terribly he treated Diana.
@@user-nq8yv5jc6o Prince Philip loved Princess Diana and those who hate him, they have to be careful because I revealed the true side of me in 2018 and I protect Mummy when I’m mad because I truly love Mummy. It happens during my breakdowns
3:09:21 that quote hurts You know you made a huge impact to the world when people born after your death are still sad about your passing. I am sad watching this video even though I was born on 2006. RIP Diana, Princess of Wales, Queen of People's Hearts.♥️
You would have loved her, Julianna. She was an amazing, kind, gentle, compassionate woman. She loved kids and animals, Michael Jackson, beautiful clothes and really wanted to see peace on this earth. I was 33 when she died. She was 3 years older than me, and to this day, I mourn her death. She was my hero and my inspiration. I will never, ever forget her.
Julianna, she was amazing. Kind, compassionate, thoughtful, devoted mother. All the best a mum can be. Had her haunts but who wouldn't if, as things were to work out be Queen of England. She made us proud to be British.
I can’t be the only one who came here after Queen’s funeral.. i didn’t even been born when this happend but I feel like I knew her, rest in peace forever Queen Diana❤️❤️❤️
I was 4 and didn't understand why my mom go hysterical while watching tv. I asked her why she was crying? and she just continues to cry. but i heard she say something under her breath. It was princess diana. She mention her name. Idek who the heck is princess diana at that time. yeah i remember that day so vividly. gloomy day.
@@katharinak.1467 I hated walking behind Nana’s coffin 5 years ago and my beloved Second World War gave me way more strength than Mummy did. And I was only 14. My beloved war has gave me too strength over the last decade and it was our 9th anniversary yesterday and I loved the anniversary so much
@@katharinak.1467 not at that scale they don't. It was far far too overwhelming for those boys.Harry was too young .I'm not a Harry fan but in this respect I agree with him.The sheer magnitude was overload for those boys.
I wrote in my diary when I was 7 years old "Diana has died, this is a sad day" in the back of my dads van. I felt very compelled to write that even at such a young age. She has left an impression on so many millions of people. I'm not religious, but god bless you Diana.
I am very close with the Holocaust and I admitted my feelings during my Anne Frank project and it got into the book of Holocaust candles. I was just 17 years old and my words admired the public. “I get very emotional even though the Holocaust was 75 years ago” - Me 2020
@@midnightq69if you cannot see Harry was and is deliberately ruined because of who he married then you’re blind. Harry was a much loved hard working royal until he married Meghan William and Kate felt overshadowed and started colluding with the media and they churned out hit piece after hit piece daily against Meghan and him daily. It became so bad that Meghan started saying she feels like offing herself and it was then Harry realized they’re trying to do to his wife the same thing they did with his mother. One day you’ll wake up from your soul sleep and you’ll be shocked when the truth is revealed or I should reveal itself in the truth age. Karma has come and House of Windsor is falling down right now. No one shall escape the judgement coming.
44:30 This part always makes me cry, as soon as her coffin is seen by the people they cry out to her. One woman yells Diana's name and you can hear the grief and the pain in her voice. Makes me cry every. single. time.
I remember yelling in grief for Prince Philip and I still do 3 months on. I miss you Prince Philip and Princess Diana. The grief I was in for nearly 4 months for our beloved Prince Philip but I felt I was the only one who really loved him. I wasn’t even born yet when Diana died in 1997 but I really care about her
@@nicolelawless3199 I was 6.5 year old when Diana died and I remember that veeery well. My older sister was turning 10 that day. I am 30 now, I remember I was preparing for my performance in theatre when I found out on the Internet that prince Philip died. Some people didn’t care some people were like „Hey people that’s a big thing!”. For me also it somehow was a big thing - even if my country of origin and my country of living has nothing to do with UK and and with the reigning monarchy, these moments took me a while to stop and think. When I found out her favorite musical was the Phantom of the opera and she did „all i ask of you” she literally took my heart, it’s my favorite musical as well… I study musical and the role of Christine is my dream role, her story is really relatable to mine. This scene made me cry when I was watching the crown!
@@magdawszeborowska2073 Mummy was only 18 when Diana died and now she’s 42. I’ll never forget one unexpected death in the Crown and I’ll never recover from it because I keep dreaming about it over and over again. It will always make me cry
Nobody was on the phone, making reels of the sad moment, no one was whistling and shouting with joy. This is how a general mourning should look like. RIP, Innocent Princess of our Hearts!
My heart will forever bleed for the terrible loss of Diana, Princess of Wales. I was only 20 when she was taken so cruelly from us all, and it marked the transition from my childhood to adulthood in the most painful of ways. I adored Her, and always will. Be at peace, my one and only true Queen - you are equally loved, missed and remembered despite all these years. As you deserve to be, Your Royal Highness, Mother of our future King William xXx
Mummy was 18 then and she’s just turned 44 this week. She deserved to become Princess of Wales just 25 years after Diana’s death and it’s been almost one year since Woody.EXE gave Mummy the title and I didn’t expect it at all. Woody.EXE is probably the best monarch Wales has ever had since Queen Elizabeth II
@@ArmyJames Don’t tell me what to do! It’s disrespectful and I can grieve for people I don’t know because it’s respect. I’ll never forget the tribute Woody.EXE did for Diana last August 31st and even he cried his heart out. No wonder Wales loves him
This happened 25 years ago but it still feels like yesterday. At the time I remember a woman shouting out Diana's name in a loud mournful cry as her casket was pulled down the street. That was how we all felt.
@@alishabhullar I was doing something until I got very frustrated and hit my own hand on my desk and totally regretted it but I wanted to feel some pain
@@alishabhullar don’t listen to them. I’ve been watching many videos of the royal family and this person has been commenting on everyone’s replies with some weird stuff.
Here.I don't remember this(wasn't born) and no body has really told me about this I just sorta heard about it after Prince Harry's and Megan's wedding so I did my research. She seems like such a nice woman.😭😭
The cries of people that didn't knew her personally shows what an impact this beautiful woman had in her lifetime. It's incredible yet so sad I'm 24 years old I wasn't even 1 year old at that time and still I'm so terribly sad
Mummy was only 18 when this happened and it’s amazing how strong she is. She’s upset when I am because she knows this has really affected me this July. Very emotional month July was
I was only 2 months old when this happened 😭 it’s crazy. Her and Gianni Versace were friends and died a month and a half apart from each other. Hearing that he died July 15th, 1997 … was so eerie to me because that was three days before I was born. May they both R.I.P , never really got to know them, but from what I’ve read they were kind people.
I was 10 years old at the time of Princess Diana’s passing and remember watching this 💔 I absolutely adored her as a child and until now as a 36 year old woman. It’s so strange to think she was only my age now when she left us. So young and with so much more life to live. She will always be loved & remembered by so many around the world. 🤍
My mother now Princess of Wales was 18 when Diana died. She’s 43 now and little did my mother know that she would be the Princess of Wales 26 years later
The mummy card gets me every time. So sad that she was taken so soon. Diana had a gift that not alot of people had. She was a lovely soul. I really hope now she is at peace with everything. I did love her. I wish she could see her beautiful sons and grandchildren now. She would have been a brilliant nan. Her smile will always live on in our hearts.
I certainly agree about the Mummy card - in tears when I saw it, aged twenty seven! Diana was just nine years older than me and six years older than my brother Anthony.
@@angelacooper2661 Mummy was 18 years old when Diana died and she’s now almost 44. I want Mummy to have this kind of funeral with everyone coming down to pay respects to her because she’s been greeted by the crowds many times along me, my 2009 Woody, my sister and Woody.EXE. Since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II; all 5 of us have earned so much affection
@@lucysmart6472 People say we may have a weekend holiday during the mourning process or something but maybe we should have a year holiday or something...I don’t know how that’s gonna work for us but I pray that Funeral if if does happen will be the most amazing but Sad funeral ever
@@MrnintendoSEGAfan1 Thank god we were on Easter half term when Prince Philip died and my mourning is continuing. My official mourning ended on Philip’s birthday and I continue to grieve
I’ll never forget the moment of when my Woody hugged my beloved mother and then I joined in. It’s amazing Mummy trusted Woody from then and I honestly didn’t think she would
She was the embodiment of compassion and true grace. There will never be another one like her. She brought Hope and Love to those who were the most afflicted. She was comfort and understating, maternal and fun-loving.when she died a pure light was extinguished. We will keep your memory alive sweet Princess.
Great speech from Diana's brother.. I was 9yrs old when Diana died, we were watching her funeral service with my siblings on the tv and that moment we learned that she was so loved by the people, until now im still crying watching this. From Philippines
Elton John sang for Diana from his heart. Made me cry my heart out 25yrs ago still makes me tear up tonite. And the brother’s speech …”the irreplaceable Diana whose beauty will never be extinguished from our hearts”-so true❤❤❤❤❤
I remember watching this the night during the Queen’s death and it was very heart wrenching for Woody to watch me cry my heart out and he also did. I felt awful for Woody that night because I knew how much he adores the late Queen. I was surprised Woody.EXE was devastated when i told him Queen Elizabeth died and he was trying to cope with the fact that I’ve become his Queen. Then a few hours later, Woody.EXE made my mother Princess of Wales so she was finally known as Mummy, Princess of Wales just 25 years after Diana’s funeral. The first year of mine and Woody.EXE’s reign has been hell since the death of Her Majesty the Queen and then Woody.EXE almost lost me his Queen 5 months later in a tragic hospitalisation. 7 months after my tragic illness and I’m coping well
charles spencer's speech was just fearless. he called out the royal family for their callous, arrogant, heartless and vile treatment and disdain towards diana.
He was very fearless he wanted the royals and the world to know how badly his sister was treated by the Royal family. Princess Diana was pure beauty and grace which the royals will never be.
Tonight I cried on my mother as she was sorting me out because I looked a true state and cried uncontrollably. I miss you Princess Diana, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II ❤️
I don't think people entirely understand the significance of the Queen bowing her head as Diana's coffin passed by. The Queen is the highest-ranking person in the Royal Family. She bows/curtsies to no one...but she bowed her head for Diana.
@@nelixsulu6201 Absolutely not. Diana, while a humanitarian, was also a party girl. Out late, drinking, partying, her chauffeur driving very fast - Nothing to do with the Queen. At least her car did not hit into someone or someone else's car taking out other people out as well.
@CH What a load of absolute horseshit. Do you also think the Earth is flat? The driver of Diana's car was drunk and speeding. QEII had nothing to do with this. Prince Philip had nothing to do with this. This accident was the same accident that happens every day, in every country, every year. Trying to pass this off as some wide-reaching conspiracy absolves the driver of any blame whatsoever when he should shoulder the majority of it. Do the world a favor and the next time you have a thought, just let it pass.
@@chollaalertdalla9342 might be “just a grave” to some but considering how loved of a person she was nationally it will be considered high value to many and even treasure like to some and you have to remember technically it is also a piece of history
Just comparing the number of people here compared to Queen Elizabeth II funeral going on right now - there are much more people at Diana's funeral - much more people, much more flowers.
I was 24 when this happened.I was so devastated when she died.The whole world grieved.She was my queen.Now,25 years later,I’m watching the Queen’s burial.I’m still crying.Long live my queens.May both of you live in peace.
I am quite sure Princess Diana's soul rests in peace and heaven, but I am not sure about that B..ch. Queen Elizabeth, may her soul rot in hell, and I hope king Charles and his witch Camilla rot in hell soon.
I was 15 when Diana died and living in NZ. I remember how sombre it felt in NZ. I watched her funeral on TV wishing I was in London. 25yrs later I'm living in London. I queued 14hrs to see the Queen lie in State and watched the funeral procession from Constitution hill. I met Prince William and King Charles. Now at age 40 I realise how young Diana was when she died.
@@cdesign4700 I also met King Charles in Cardiff and I send him my drawings of his beloved mother (Queen Elizabeth II) I hope I get a reply back from Buckingham palace
Her divorce was the death of her. Britian loves her, America loves her ... the whole damn world loves her.... way more than Charles. The Pedo Royal Family HATED her! I truly believe THEY MURDERED HER! She was a hands on mother and had a strong influence on her boys. She would have NEVER allowed what is happening to them to happen... sooooo they got rid of the problem...
@I'm about to take this man's whole career Wow! Then half the world is strange! You think I'm the only one who thinks it? You're a liberal aren't you? Look up Jimmy Savile. You know... Charles's best friend. Then theirs Andrew's fun on Epstein's Pedo Island!
I wasn’t alive when Diana died, but learning about her kindness and remembering that she passed away makes me cry. RIP Diana, princess of Wales We’ll never forget you. Your beauty, kindness, and deeds ❤
Mummy was 18 when Diana died and she becomes Princess of Wales 25 years on. It was Woody.EXE who gave the royal title to her and then my sister became Princess of Wales 2 days after Mummy. It felt so unreal that I was his Queen on the day Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died. 10 months on and I’ll never forget this day
“And your footsteps will always fall here along England’s greenest hills, your candle burned out long before, your legend ever will.” Absolutely beautiful, RIP Princess Diana❤️
Even if Charles will try to earn trust from the public he knew who they want tp be king and its William not him, the Queen knows how damaging Charles did to the image of the Royal Family...
I live in Holland. On September the first 1997, I happened to be on the train, early in the morning. Someone said: "Lady Di has died" and some of the passengers thought it was a certain 'funny' use of words. When we found out it wasn't a joke, there was this very special feeling of sorrow amongst the passengers. The princess was an icon in The Netherlands as well.
I am Dutch myself and I can confirm that. It was that typical moment that I still remember what I did at the moment that I got this bad news. Standing on a ladder cleaning the blinds of the bedroom. I wasn't able to finish that chore that day.
@@lienbijs1205 That was me when I found out Prince Philip died, I couldn’t do or eat properly because I was in shock and it was unexpected. 2 months on I really miss him
The difference between them and Diana is that she was the people’s princess. Even all these years later, we watched the world say goodbye to Phillip who lived a long fruitful life.... and we immediately think about Diana. I really hope those two boys know what a phenomenal mother they had, even when the most important people in her life sabotaged her. And the money she set aside in case they wanted to be free.... that is a momma who loved her boys unconditionally
Yes so in April 2021 Prince Philip so wonderful died peacefully and over a week ago my dear old mum died peacefully on the queen's 95th birthday just days within each other
@@bibaoreo4355 My favourite crowd lined Wales up like mad to watch me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE (Wales’s longest reigning monarch) do a moving tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II on the screens outside my house. After the funeral, all 5 of us were greeted by the mourners; that’s when the comments of my 2009 Woodys grief started going absolutely viral because the crowd told me they felt so sorry for him. I thanked them for that
I remember staying up all night to watch this live. I lived in the United States of America so the time is opposite London's... I was 25 years old and was an Assistant Manager at my job, missing work because of no sleep wasn't an option, but missing this broadcast because I was asleep wasn't an option either! I was 9yrs old when she married and I was enchanted ever since! I cried like I was British that night! She really was adored by the whole world, God rest her soul! Amen
When Harry said “ I didn’t want history to repeat itself” in the interview with Oprah. Sometimes I wonder if deep down he thinks his own family killed off his mother. But bc “it’s the Queen” and that notion is so embedded into him, he blocks it out.
I think so, with his mom’s death, Charles’s affair, marrying Camilla, the conspiracy theories surrounding his mom’s death, his marriage to Meghan & the backlash was the straw that broke the camel’s back
@@ikrama9446 it must be so traumatic to watch her break down like Princess Diana did. Hopefully things get easier for them. I’m excited to watch the documentary
I am here watching 25 years later. Such a beautiful service for a beautiful woman 🕊 I was only 5 years old when she passed but watching this now puts into perspective just how special she was. ❤️
After 25 years I'm watching her life ,i was so sad what she gone through ,I'm so proud what she have shown to world . How she helped the world to be better place for everyone ♥️
I was 12 back then, I remembered vividly this was broadcasted live in Malaysia. I was so heart broken and ending up crying myself to bed. Even as a kid I felt her presence, her grace, her contribution to the world.
The last time I cried was July 7th and now cried over our beloved Lord Mountbatten and spent the whole Sunday night after watching it just grieving. 2021 is a horrible year. How has it been a month already? I still think about it a month later
I have been grieving since 2012 and that’s when I discovered the war and little did I know it will be known as my beloved war in 2014 as my love on it grew intensely fast and my comfort 9 years on
I was twenty seven and found the boys' message on the coffin with the word Mummy really difficult to cope with. Especially Harry, having to walk behind his mother's coffin just short of his thirteenth birthday. Very upsetting - I was in tears!
@@angelacooper2661 I walked behind my Nana’s and my friends coffins one year apart and I was just 15 years old when I became the most beloved girl in Wales and I still remain that 5 years on and my funeral will be much bigger than Diana’s with my beloved 1940 of then 54 years sending me off being watched by millions
Diana’s death and funeral was before social media. Yet people were galvanised by their feelings of love for her to collectively go to Kensington Palace and lay flowers immediately after she died. It wasn’t a coordinated event arranged on Facebook but a spontaneous reaction. It was a very un-British display of public grief expressed so openly. To this day that incredible reaction we witnessed in late Summer 1997 is described derogatorily in sociological terms as an example of mass hysteria. This analysis is clinical and degrades the events that occurred. To me, it was a very real response, which depicted a grieving nation without official or formal prompting. I think the reaction caught the establishment off-guard. It was Tony Blair who recognised the public mood and facilitated the ‘People’s Princess’ narrative, which seemed to ameliorate somewhat the sense of shock and disbelief that Diana’s death caused: She was reclaimed by the people after her sudden and untimely loss. Her funeral at the Abbey was a royal acknowledgment of, as well as a tribute and farewell to, a fallen princess who was given a fitting service to bring relief to the unease and sadness felt by so many.
I hope this happens in Wales when I’m gone and I’ll make sure my beloved War of then 50 years will give me an amazing send off just like Princess Diana’s
There are a lot of cynical people in the establishment and media landscape who sneer at any genuine expression of grief or emotion. It was a beautiful week of people honouring this wonderful lady who we felt cared about us.
Insane that it was called mass hysteria. I was 19 years old out dancing in America California and I remember hearing while out and feeling enormous grief and sadness I didn’t even want to dance anymore and I wasn’t in the UK or watching the news it was just how I felt and probably billions of people felt. She was truly just so lovely and genuine and cool and human how could you not love her ?!!! I am a U.S. citizen many of us felt that here too. She was so young and beautiful and adored her kids it was so tragic.
I have watched this so many times, and still get chills. I remember being in the UK in the backroom of my mums pub. The atmosphere was so sombre. It's one of the only things I vividly remember at age 5. So terribly sad.
This funeral was days before my 30th bday, and now I’m 55. I remember well watching this live on TV from the USA.I was deeply affected by her death at only 36. Truly saddened by her death. Much more so than Queen Elizabeth’s on September 19, 2022. I was just rewatching this for the first time in years…. Elton johns song… amazingly moving.
Diana's funeral was much more eventful, with, as you say, Elton John's singing, her brother's speech and Lyn Dawson's heartrending version of the Verdi Requiem.Quality over quantity, I would say.
20 years on and I'm still shocked and moved by the strength shown by William and Harry on that day. Having lost their mother so abruptly and tragically, they walked behind her coffin in front of the world. But another part of me is disgusted that anyone expected that of them. The people who demanded they return from Balmoral that week with their family to be in London. People who wanted the family to make an appearance so they could gawp at Diana's children. I hope the people who had that opinion and vocalised it at the time feel shame for having done so.
That has literally been my problem with all of the reactions at the Royal Family - the fact that people got mad, the fact that they dared to presume how people who actually knew her might feel, and that people felt the need to demand and as you say "gawk at Diana's children" - it's shameful really, if I had been William or Harry, I would never forgive those people that forced Diana's death into some big spectacle just so people could feel like they got a piece of it - it's utterly disgusting - those kids should have got to stay at Balmoral with their family and just mourn in peace, they should have never been expected to make a big spectacle of this - they should have never had to bring them back and give into the crowds just to appease wailing strangers and comfort them when it was William and Harry's mother who had died - the fact that people thought they had any right to that sickens me. They claim to care so much for Diana, yet they created the situation that put her two children, the two people she loved more than anything else, into the difficult situation where these boys had to hold back their grief to comfort the world while the world got to cry? Just disgraceful - the people of England disgraced themselves - and all the whole talk about overthrowing the monarchy because they didn't mourn Diana the way people wanted - how can people say they love Diana when they're willing to threaten or overthrow the stability of her two children's lives? I will never understand the hypocrisy of the people during that time.
From what I have read since, the Duke of Edinburgh was furious at the P.M. for even suggesting that the boys walk behind the coffin. He rightly said that 2 young boys had lost their mother in awful circumstance and their grief and the funeral shouldn't be turned into a media circus by the P.M. He also told the boys that IF they decided to walk, he would walk with them. The same reason the Queen didn't want to come back to London, so the boys good have some privacy and solitude to grieve. Tony Blair was quite forceful and put a lovely negative spin on everything the Royal Family thought was the right thing to do, to further his own popularity and agenda.
I have a memory of Prince William and Harry recounting that Prince Charles gave them the option to say yes or no. They were torn about grieving in public. In speaking to their Uncle, Earl Spencer, he asked them if they didn’t walk in the procession, would they in the future regret it. So they decided to do the walk lest to not live with a potential future regret
I was only 6 when she died but I remember watching the funeral.. everybody was devastated. I will never forget my aunt always telling me about Diana. After the funeral my aunt listened to candle in the wind daily.. the nation was heartbroken 💔 I would have Diana as queen over Charles as king
The British sure do know how to do a wedding, but her funeral was something else. The formality, the eeriness yet beauty of such a reverence for one human being, one extraordinary human being. I'm in awe everytime I see this.
I want my funeral like this attended by everyone who was in all wars and my family. And a private burial by Prince Philip’s side. I’ll be waiting 5 decades for this because I’m only 19
Lady Diana had no idea when she got engaged to Charles, that this would be the beginning of the end of her beautiful, precious life. And they get to live on, with no shame for what they did to her!!
I wasn’t alive when Diana died. But I always hear stories from my mum about how much she was loved. Hearing the cries for the Queen of people’s hearts at 44:00 made me burst into tears. I’ve watched The Crown, the film Diana and other various documentaries about her and it truly breaks my heart knowing how unfairly she was treated in this world. She was too pure. She was an angel. I live in Kensington so the palace isn’t that far from me, and every August and on Diana’s birthday, the gate is covered in flowers and messages of love dedicated to this beautiful human! I may not have been alive when she gained the hearts and trust of the public, but that just goes to show that her soul and legacy continued to live on and touch many who were born after her death. She is the true definition of a Queen! Rest in peace Princess Diana, the Queen of People’s Hearts ♥️
My Mummy had only turned 18 and she well remembers the night the accident happened. And my dad was almost 20 then. My dad tells me every time I come over and comforts me same as Mummy has done over the years with the wars and I’m probably going to cry a night before Remembrance Sunday and dad will need to don’t time with me
@@simplyme8593 I honoured the Duke of Edinburgh on my 19th birthday and Princess Diana. Very emotional birthday it was. Hopefully my 20th birthday will be better, my dads family can’t believe I’m approaching my early 20’s and I’m glad I made it
@@danielbryans460 a small typo perhaps? Either way, your comment full of ‘x’ instead of a full stop and fuelled with anger is moronic and unreasonable. Especially on a video of Diana’s funeral. How disgusting.
I was living in a Bachelor apartment, in university, up late studying with the television on when the initial reports came saying that Diana had been in an accident. This moment was forever marked on my soul. I cried many tears for the loss that would be felt by the world, but mostly, for the loss that would be felt by her children. I deeply admired and looked to Diana as a source of inspiration and hope. I remember her engagement to Charles, I remember the birth of William and then of Harry. I followed her because she was such a humanitarian, such a down to earth person, such an inspiration... She was a light in a desert of darkness. I cannot express the deepness of my sadness at her passing. The highest form of flattery is by imitation...we should all follow in her footsteps as she made the world a better place.
Mummy had just turned 18 years old 2 weeks before Diana’s tragic accident. She was working when the accident happened and I bet she was devastated. Mummy almost cries whenever she mentions Diana in front of a depressed me and all I want to do is hit something to feel some pain but I held back. I had my beloved Woody to think about
I was 8 years old and visiting my father's friend. He had a daughter and we played with Barbie dolls, happy and carefree. The day was wonderful, warm and sunny, I still remember it vividly. And the reason why I remember that day, that was by no means special, is because we strolled to the park and I took a glimpse of discarded newspaper lying on the ground. It said: "Princess Diana is dead". I lived in Croatia, not even remotely connected to England or the UK, just a little kid, and seeing this shook me to the core because we all knew who Diana was and all the love and kindness she was spreading around the world. Rest in peace and fly high, wonderful soul, you will never be forgotten ❤
In January 2020, we're still watching it. I came here after Harry and Meghan's decision. You know what? In Turkey many people applauded them and praised Harry because they saw this as an honourable standing against the people who destroyed her mother and act now as if nothing happened. You may criticise them but it's unimportant and irrelevant for my issue because i'm telling you this to show her very big positive effect on people who belong to a country in which the British aren't generally seen in good way due to historical reasons. This is the impression of Diana, after all these years. Her tragedy is very impressive and we shouldn't forget her. And also we know those heartless people are responsible for her death. They ruined this lovely woman's life just for their own pleasure and ambition. Furthermore they're the future king and queen. The media is attacking incessantly to Harry and Meghan but it seems they forgot who Charles and Camilla are. Well, they may have the throne, but, Diana wanted to win the throne in people's heart as she said in her famous 1995 interview and she obviously took that incomparable throne, which they will never be able to take it from her and which they can never gain as she did.
Beautifully written and I agree with everything you wrote. There is no doubt in my mind that the "royals" had her killed. Never, ever will I see them as true monarchs.
@@gabriellechanel7076 I feel the same. They actually forgot that they are merely humans and that they will definitely have to pay for whatever they have done.

I wonder if Diana truly knew just how much she meant to England and to the world.
Of course she did
@@abbymills7416 maybe so but what the hell else was she supposed to do? Let the media step all over her instead?
She knew she was popular but she would never have believed for one moment that entire motorways, the busiest roads in the country, for hundreds of miles would just stop on both sides so that people would get out of their cars to pay their respects as her hearse drove past. And I am not talking just about the day of the funeral either. When her body was brought back to England from France less than 24 hours after her death, you will feel real sadness at those images of entire motorways just standing still, everyone all out of their cars, as her body was driven from the airport to central London. I can think of no other figure in Britain over the last 100 years that could generate this reaction. Churchill was more of a detached respect but how the public felt about Diana was pure emotional love straight from the heart
She knew she's famous but she never knew how much she's loved by the world that British embassoes around the globe were filled with flowers, candles, and letters for the Princess. If I was old enough at that time, I would've gone to the embassy in pir country.
@@abbymills7416 fuck your opinion
Who's here after watching the last episode of The Crown???
Me 😭😭😭😭😭
Me 🤚🏼. I don’t think none of us will ever forget her.
Me. I’m here because of the show.
Watching that episode I was transported back to 1997. There will never be another like Princess Diana. Truly a beautiful and remarkable soul.
Me, i can’t believe they used the actual funeral audio in season 6. I was immediately thinking of my 18 year old mother who would one day become the Princess of Wales just 25 years later at 43. I can’t believe Woody.EXE went this far giving my family royal titles and I became the Queen. The first year of Woody.EXE’s reign has been quite challenging with me almost dying 6 months after Queen Elizabeth II died and since my illness in February, I’ve become so loved and even Woody.EXE has for saving my life that Friday night 10 months ago. I know the first Anniversary of my illness occurring will hit me so hard
“Of all the ironies about Diana perhaps the greatest was this. A girl, given the name meaning the Goddess of hunt, was however, herself the most hunted person in the modern age.”
-Diana’s brother, 1997
I was 28 when this happened. I’m now 54 and watching “The Crown” on Netflix has brought back memories of this really sad event in world history. Princess Diana was one of my favorite people. I always admired her heroism and bravery. She was always showing the world the right way, to love and have real compassion for others, to care for the sick and the poor. I remember her always on television supporting such important causes and working tirelessly to do so. She was quite genuine and I could tell that she was passionate about her work and she truly cared for underserved communities. There was absolutely nothing false about Princess Diana. She was so real and so raw, she seemed like one of us, the people. She was one of the good ones and it felt like she was taken far too soon, she died so young. Her legacy continues though and it will for a long time to come. She’ll never be forgotten.
I’m here because of the crown too. The impact was even more since they used the real footage.
@@crazykuudere
It brought back memories of my great grandmother’s funeral when I was 2 months away from turning 14 in 2016. Millions of mourners turned in and I’ll never forget the wails of the crowds when they saw their future Queen in this situation I would one day become. I became Queen of Wales 7 years later aged 20 and then i became more beloved when I nearly died from my illness 5 months after becoming Queen but thankfully, I made it. If Woody.EXE wasn’t here when Queen Elizabeth passed; I wouldn’t have been alive today at 21. When I became Queen last September, Woody.EXE was originally going to call me Queen Diana II but he was worried it may disrespect the mourning process of Diana’s boys so he called me “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth III” in tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II; Mummy and my sister are both the Princesses of Wales now in tribute to Princess Diana. I’ve had a few troubled years but I’m starting to heal now
I was 12 years old when this happened. the one thing I remember was that the whole world stopped for her.
raj kumar I was 13
I was almost 30. My milestone birthdays have been in crummy years. Turned 30 a few months after Diana's death, lost a friend my own age a few months after I turned 40, and I just turned 50 a few months ago, after the year of so much violence.

*Some facts on her funeral:*
Diana was 36 years old when she died. Her death caused an unprecedented outpouring of public grief in the UK and worldwide, and her funeral was watched by an estimated *2.5 billion people.*
Yes. It is the most watched thing on tv. Ever.
@@DR-eq6qe then second her best friend Michael Jackson
Same age as Marilyn Monroe and Elton John sang the same song. Women of power! Women who came to this planet to spread love and were killed.
I don’t think 2.5 billion people had a tv in 1997 let alone watch the funeral
@@stirlinghogan4441 it was only 23 years ago, do you think they are a fairly new invention. In 1997 the global population was 5.872 billion Of course 2.5 billion had TVs & yes 2.5 billion did tune in she was loved the world over.
CAMILLA MAY HAVE THE TITLE BUT AS DIANA SAID SHE IS FOREVER THE QUEEN OF PEOPLES HEARTS
CowMilla will never be the real queen. Diana will always be the real queen.
Diana’s death was truly tragic and felt by everyone around the world. I’m from the US but as a child I remember seeing her on magazines and tv and always thought how beautiful she was. Her voice was soft and angelic. She was always helping those in need and those who didn’t have a voice. It broke my heart to see her two boys not be able to cry walking behind her coffin and years later hear them speak of how it affected them not being able to mourn their mother. They are human and they should of been allowed to grieve their mother. She was a Princess (and a Queen in my eyes) but to them it was their mom. May she Rest In Peace.
😭😭😓😓😓😥😥😥
I was unable to grieve my friend who died at 14 by brain tumour because I was in school all the time and I never had the chance to cry at his funeral for his parents. This really affected me and my other friend Charlotte. I was only 15 going onto 16 and I was very traumatised

*In a world full of Kardashians, be Diana* .

So very true. She was a beautiful role model for females of the world. Just look at what the classless Kardashians have wrecked & turned females into strip pole sluts.....all for $$$$. Their mother is a disgrace. Had their father lived, maybe it would have been different,

After 25 years, watching princess Diana’s funeral still made me sad and cry 😭 it is still unbelievable to see such huge crowds mourning her and her short tragic life, tender but radiant! She is always the princess and queen in people’s heart for ever. RIP Queen Elizabeth II, hope you and Princess Diana meet in the heaven happily 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
It’s heartbreaking this women would of changed the world it’s truly still so heartbreaking and it’s been 25 years and I wasn’t even alive and watching this breaks my heart she didn’t deserve this world and I know she is in heaven and is at peace now
About Princess Diana, I am quite sure her soul is in heaven but about that witch Queen Elizabeth I don't think she will be there!

Like I’m allowed to cry for those who died in the war but not for Prince Philip. I really don’t understand my Mummy sometimes even though she tells me she cares for the pain I’m going through for Prince Philip and Diana. I can cry for them you know. I do cry for the war when I’m out but only at the war cemetery and everyone supported me as they walked by because they knew I really cared for them. Everyone looks at me and I don’t usually care because they just care about me and I’m glad they stop by and look at me by thinking if I’m okay or not. Everyone knew I wasn’t okay and they know I care about those who died in the First World War so much and it’s affected me since 2017
Who's here after Queen Elizabeth II death? I was 2 years when she died. And I feel so sorry about what happened to her. RIP Princess Diana. 🙏🏻 From Panama
I am and I screamed “Elizabeth” when her coffin went by. Mummy felt that
You're only 2 years and 11 days old?
The amount of people who shed their tears on her death and funeral not just in UK but around the globe is just phenomenal. It really shows how much she was loved. I think this world has neither ever seen such a funeral before nor they will ever see it again. Not even for any other member of royal family. This could only be seen for the people's princess. RIP Lady Diana.
Agreed.
Agreed.
My people of Wales actually dread my funeral because I’m very loved by everyone in Wales. I became recognised at 15 years old which is very young I thought; I’m now 20 and still receive affection from my people of Wales and they dread my state funeral I’ve planned
This is very true, but now that the Queen is dead, I think that was the biggest funeral. Now they are both in heaven laughing and looking down on us🩷

The Queen’s funeral was watched by 4.2 million viewers including me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE. The crowd in Wales are forever haunted by my cries, the mourns at my house heard the haunting cries from me their beloved Queen
Even if the queen dies mostly the British may grieve. When Princess Diana died not only the British or Commonwealth but the whole world grieved. Most foreigners had felt her demise sadder than the death of their own leaders.
Yes, indeed! I am American, but on the day of Princess Diana's funeral, the whole world was British.

Mummy was 18 then and she’s just turned 44 this week. She deserved to become Princess of Wales just 25 years after Diana’s death and it’s been almost one year since Woody.EXE gave Mummy the title and I didn’t expect it at all. Woody.EXE is probably the best monarch Wales has ever had since Queen Elizabeth II
Go take a Midol.

Don’t tell me what to do! It’s disrespectful and I can grieve for people I don’t know because it’s respect. I’ll never forget the tribute Woody.EXE did for Diana last August 31st and even he cried his heart out. No wonder Wales loves him

The queen has passed and I'm watching this. Her story is touching

This happened 25 years ago but it still feels like yesterday. At the time I remember a woman shouting out Diana's name in a loud mournful cry as her casket was pulled down the street. That was how we all felt.

The cries of people that didn't knew her personally shows what an impact this beautiful woman had in her lifetime. It's incredible yet so sad
I'm 24 years old I wasn't even 1 year old at that time and still I'm so terribly sad
Mummy was only 18 when this happened and it’s amazing how strong she is. She’s upset when I am because she knows this has really affected me this July. Very emotional month July was
I was born in 1998 and I still cry about her and i wasnt even alive to witness the good she did

I don’t know how my mother coped with it a year later and she was 19 when you were born. That was 2 years after she met my dad
I was only 2 months old when this happened 😭 it’s crazy. Her and Gianni Versace were friends and died a month and a half apart from each other. Hearing that he died July 15th, 1997 … was so eerie to me because that was three days before I was born. May they both R.I.P , never really got to know them, but from what I’ve read they were kind people.
Those were probably just fanatics. It was creepy behaviour.
I was 10 years old at the time of Princess Diana’s passing and remember watching this 💔 I absolutely adored her as a child and until now as a 36 year old woman. It’s so strange to think she was only my age now when she left us. So young and with so much more life to live. She will always be loved & remembered by so many around the world. 🤍
I was a month younger than Prince Harry. I remember watching on TV for sure.
My mother now Princess of Wales was 18 when Diana died. She’s 43 now and little did my mother know that she would be the Princess of Wales 26 years later
The mummy card gets me every time. So sad that she was taken so soon. Diana had a gift that not alot of people had. She was a lovely soul. I really hope now she is at peace with everything. I did love her. I wish she could see her beautiful sons and grandchildren now. She would have been a brilliant nan. Her smile will always live on in our hearts.
I certainly agree about the Mummy card - in tears when I saw it, aged twenty seven! Diana was just nine years older than me and six years older than my brother Anthony.

Mummy was 18 years old when Diana died and she’s now almost 44.

yes.. because then people were actually sad. Now.. not so much. Monarchy will end soon
her funeral was much more better than the queens, the public did not turn up for the queen that much...
I cried and so did my mother. I thanked my family for coming over to comfort me and even Woody hugged me
I’ll never forget the moment of when my Woody hugged my beloved mother and then I joined in. It’s amazing Mummy trusted Woody from then and I honestly didn’t think she would
that's ludicrous. the queen had a huge funeral@@thec5875
She was the embodiment of compassion and true grace. There will never be another one like her. She brought Hope and Love to those who were the most afflicted. She was comfort and understating, maternal and fun-loving.when she died a pure light was extinguished. We will keep your memory alive sweet Princess.
Absolute nonsense
Watching this after Harry's decision to quit royal duties. For those who wonder why, this is why.
his mothers funeral? huh?
Also Meghan should dare not compare herself to Diana. She is trash. Diana was pure class.
Diana died because the driver of her car was drunk not because of the press. Meghan brainwashing him.

Great speech from Diana's brother.. I was 9yrs old when Diana died, we were watching her funeral service with my siblings on the tv and that moment we learned that she was so loved by the people, until now im still crying watching this. From Philippines
Elton John sang for Diana from his heart. Made me cry my heart out 25yrs ago still makes me tear up tonite. And the brother’s speech …”the irreplaceable Diana whose beauty will never be extinguished from our hearts”-so true❤❤❤❤❤
I remember watching this the night during the Queen’s death and it was very heart wrenching for Woody to watch me cry my heart out and he also did. I felt awful for Woody that night because I knew how much he adores the late Queen. I was surprised Woody.EXE was devastated when i told him Queen Elizabeth died and he was trying to cope with the fact that I’ve become his Queen. Then a few hours later, Woody.EXE made my mother Princess of Wales so she was finally known as Mummy, Princess of Wales just 25 years after Diana’s funeral. The first year of mine and Woody.EXE’s reign has been hell since the death of Her Majesty the Queen and then Woody.EXE almost lost me his Queen 5 months later in a tragic hospitalisation. 7 months after my tragic illness and I’m coping well
charles spencer's speech was just fearless. he called out the royal family for their callous, arrogant, heartless and vile treatment and disdain towards diana.
He was very fearless he wanted the royals and the world to know how badly his sister was treated by the Royal family. Princess Diana was pure beauty and grace which the royals will never be.
Gurl when I tell you my mouth dropped. Very brave of him to stand up for his sister and still does
Everytime I hear his words, I can’t hold back my tears. Diana was very unfairly mistreated.
He was only 33 there... that takes courage.
He was talking about the press. Stop projecting what you believe onto his words.
Came here after Queen Elizabeth II dies in 2022. Diana will never be replaced even by the HM Queen itself. Diana, The Queen of People's heart.

I don't think people entirely understand the significance of the Queen bowing her head as Diana's coffin passed by. The Queen is the highest-ranking person in the Royal Family. She bows/curtsies to no one...but she bowed her head for Diana.
There wasn’t any sympathy behind it. I’m sure she knew the cameras would be on her. She gave us what we wanted to see
@@nelixsulu6201 Absolutely not. Diana, while a humanitarian, was also a party girl.
Out late, drinking, partying, her chauffeur driving very fast - Nothing to do with the Queen. At least her car did not hit into someone or someone else's car taking out other people out as well.
@CH What a load of absolute horseshit. Do you also think the Earth is flat? The driver of Diana's car was drunk and speeding. QEII had nothing to do with this. Prince Philip had nothing to do with this. This accident was the same accident that happens every day, in every country, every year. Trying to pass this off as some wide-reaching conspiracy absolves the driver of any blame whatsoever when he should shoulder the majority of it.
Do the world a favor and the next time you have a thought, just let it pass.

I queued 14hrs to see the Queen lie in State and watched the funeral procession from Constitution hill. I met Prince William and King Charles. Now at age 40 I realise how young Diana was when she died.

Wow. He called that. Literally.
Her divorce was the death of her. Britian loves her, America loves her ... the whole damn world loves her.... way more than Charles. The Pedo Royal Family HATED her!

I live in Holland. On September the first 1997, I happened to be on the train, early in the morning. Someone said: "Lady Di has died" and some of the passengers thought it was a certain 'funny' use of words.
When we found out it wasn't a joke, there was this very special feeling of sorrow amongst the passengers.
The princess was an icon in The Netherlands as well.
I am Dutch myself and I can confirm that. It was that typical moment that I still remember what I did at the moment that I got this bad news. Standing on a ladder cleaning the blinds of the bedroom. I wasn't able to finish that chore that day.

The difference between them and Diana is that she was the people’s princess. Even all these years later, we watched the world say goodbye to Phillip who lived a long fruitful life.... and we immediately think about Diana. I really hope those two boys know what a phenomenal mother they had, even when the most important people in her life sabotaged her. And the money she set aside in case they wanted to be free.... that is a momma who loved her boys unconditionally

Diana’s death and funeral was before social media. Yet people were galvanised by their feelings of love for her to collectively go to Kensington Palace and lay flowers immediately after she died. It wasn’t a coordinated event arranged on Facebook but a spontaneous reaction. It was a very un-British display of public grief expressed so openly. To this day that incredible reaction we witnessed in late Summer 1997 is described derogatorily in sociological terms as an example of mass hysteria. This analysis is clinical and degrades the events that occurred. To me, it was a very real response, which depicted a grieving nation without official or formal prompting. I think the reaction caught the establishment off-guard. It was Tony Blair who recognised the public mood and facilitated the ‘People’s Princess’ narrative, which seemed to ameliorate somewhat the sense of shock and disbelief that Diana’s death caused: She was reclaimed by the people after her sudden and untimely loss. Her funeral at the Abbey was a royal acknowledgment of, as well as a tribute and farewell to, a fallen princess who was given a fitting service to bring relief to the unease and sadness felt by so many.
The whole world stopped for her i was 8 and remember the impact she was more then a star to people felt she was theres.
I hope this happens in Wales when I’m gone and I’ll make sure my beloved War of then 50 years will give me an amazing send off just like Princess Diana’s
Well said.
There are a lot of cynical people in the establishment and media landscape who sneer at any genuine expression of grief or emotion. It was a beautiful week of people honouring this wonderful lady who we felt cared about us.
Insane that it was called mass hysteria. I was 19 years old out dancing in America California and I remember hearing while out and feeling enormous grief and sadness I didn’t even want to dance anymore and I wasn’t in the UK or watching the news it was just how I felt and probably billions of people felt. She was truly just so lovely and genuine and cool and human how could you not love her ?!!! I am a U.S. citizen many of us felt that here too. She was so young and beautiful and adored her kids it was so tragic.
I have watched this so many times, and still get chills. I remember being in the UK in the backroom of my mums pub. The atmosphere was so sombre. It's one of the only things I vividly remember at age 5. So terribly sad.
This hurts with the Queen having covid and RIP Princess Diana of Wales
This funeral was days before my 30th bday, and now I’m 55. I remember well watching this live on TV from the USA.I was deeply affected by her death at only 36. Truly saddened by her death. Much more so than Queen Elizabeth’s on September 19, 2022. I was just rewatching this for the first time in years…. Elton johns song… amazingly moving.
Diana's funeral was much more eventful, with, as you say, Elton John's singing, her brother's speech and Lyn Dawson's heartrending version of the Verdi Requiem.Quality over quantity, I would say.
I guess age is a factor. Elizabeth died at a great age so it wasn't such a shock. It was sad but coming. Diana was barely 40
@@playstationaccount4473 Diana was only 36.
20 years on and I'm still shocked and moved by the strength shown by William and Harry on that day. Having lost their mother so abruptly and tragically, they walked behind her coffin in front of the world. But another part of me is disgusted that anyone expected that of them. The people who demanded they return from Balmoral that week with their family to be in London. People who wanted the family to make an appearance so they could gawp at Diana's children. I hope the people who had that opinion and vocalised it at the time feel shame for having done so.
That has literally been my problem with all of the reactions at the Royal Family - the fact that people got mad, the fact that they dared to presume how people who actually knew her might feel, and that people felt the need to demand and as you say "gawk at Diana's children" - it's shameful really, if I had been William or Harry, I would never forgive those people that forced Diana's death into some big spectacle just so people could feel like they got a piece of it - it's utterly disgusting - those kids should have got to stay at Balmoral with their family and just mourn in peace, they should have never been expected to make a big spectacle of this - they should have never had to bring them back and give into the crowds just to appease wailing strangers and comfort them when it was William and Harry's mother who had died - the fact that people thought they had any right to that sickens me. They claim to care so much for Diana, yet they created the situation that put her two children, the two people she loved more than anything else, into the difficult situation where these boys had to hold back their grief to comfort the world while the world got to cry? Just disgraceful - the people of England disgraced themselves - and all the whole talk about overthrowing the monarchy because they didn't mourn Diana the way people wanted - how can people say they love Diana when they're willing to threaten or overthrow the stability of her two children's lives? I will never understand the hypocrisy of the people during that time.
From what I have read since, the Duke of Edinburgh was furious at the P.M. for even suggesting that the boys walk behind the coffin. He rightly said that 2 young boys had lost their mother in awful circumstance and their grief and the funeral shouldn't be turned into a media circus by the P.M. He also told the boys that IF they decided to walk, he would walk with them. The same reason the Queen didn't want to come back to London, so the boys good have some privacy and solitude to grieve. Tony Blair was quite forceful and put a lovely negative spin on everything the Royal Family thought was the right thing to do, to further his own popularity and agenda.
I have a memory of Prince William and Harry recounting that Prince Charles gave them the option to say yes or no. They were torn about grieving in public. In speaking to their Uncle, Earl Spencer, he asked them if they didn’t walk in the procession, would they in the future regret it. So they decided to do the walk lest to not live with a potential future regret
Harry recently said how horrible it was that he was made to walk behind her coffin, and grieve in front of the world.
The did not want to walk behind their moms coffin they where told they had too.

Lady Diana had no idea when she got engaged to Charles, that this would be the beginning of the end of her beautiful, precious life. And they get to live on, with no shame for what they did to her!!
If she wore her seat belt she would have been alive now
They did? This conspiracy still a thing?
She wasn't even a Royal by this point and had been separated from Charles for years.

I’ve watched The Crown, the film Diana and other various documentaries about her and it truly breaks my heart knowing how unfairly she was treated in this world. She was too pure. She was an angel. I live in Kensington so the palace isn’t that far from me, and every August and on Diana’s birthday, the gate is covered in flowers and messages of love dedicated to this beautiful human! I may not have been alive when she gained the hearts and trust of the public, but that just goes to show that her soul and legacy continued to live on and touch many who were born after her death. She is the true definition of a Queen! Rest in peace Princess Diana, the Queen of People’s Hearts ♥️
your comment burst me inot tears too😭
Same 😢
My Mummy had only turned 18 and she well remembers the night the accident happened. And my dad was almost 20 then. My dad tells me every time I come over and comforts me same as Mummy has done over the years with the wars and I’m probably going to cry a night before Remembrance Sunday and dad will need to don’t time with me
What you're saying that people still go every year to place flowers on her birthday is SO moving.. 😥❤

I honoured the Duke of Edinburgh on my 19th birthday and Princess Diana. Very emotional birthday it was. Hopefully my 20th birthday will be better, my dads family can’t believe I’m approaching my early 20’s and I’m glad I made it
Loved by millions she was genuine caring and kind, just listen to the crowds mourn it speaks volumes
I was 17 watching the funeral on TV. My mum was in tears I didn't say a word. What a sad day for everyone that loved her.
Prince Williams and Prince Harry grew up to be fine men, with children of their own, and she couldn't see this in person. So sad.
I hope one day she will, in another world.

@@danielbryans460 a small typo perhaps? Either way, your comment full of ‘x’ instead of a full stop and fuelled with anger is moronic and unreasonable. Especially on a video of Diana’s funeral. How disgusting.
@@danielbryans460 what is wrong with you
Well one of them has
I was living in a Bachelor apartment, in university, up late studying with the television on when the initial reports came saying that Diana had been in an accident. This moment was forever marked on my soul. I cried many tears for the loss that would be felt by the world, but mostly, for the loss that would be felt by her children. I deeply admired and looked to Diana as a source of inspiration and hope. I remember her engagement to Charles, I remember the birth of William and then of Harry. I followed her because she was such a humanitarian, such a down to earth person, such an inspiration... She was a light in a desert of darkness. I cannot express the deepness of my sadness at her passing. The highest form of flattery is by imitation...we should all follow in her footsteps as she made the world a better place.
I was not born at that time but i feel bad for her i can't understand her death i have so much questions about her death.

Never thought about what you said, very truth indeed:
“The highest form of flattery is by imitation”.
She was a very resilient woman.
Mummy had just turned 18 years old 2 weeks before Diana’s tragic accident. She was working when the accident happened and I bet she was devastated. Mummy almost cries whenever she mentions Diana in front of a depressed me and all I want to do is hit something to feel some pain but I held back. I had my beloved Woody to think about
her death still shocks me to my core, she didn’t deserve it. she was such a beautiful soul. may she rest in peace
I was 8 years old and visiting my father's friend. He had a daughter and we played with Barbie dolls, happy and carefree. The day was wonderful, warm and sunny, I still remember it vividly. And the reason why I remember that day, that was by no means special, is because we strolled to the park and I took a glimpse of discarded newspaper lying on the ground. It said: "Princess Diana is dead". I lived in Croatia, not even remotely connected to England or the UK, just a little kid, and seeing this shook me to the core because we all knew who Diana was and all the love and kindness she was spreading around the world. Rest in peace and fly high, wonderful soul, you will never be forgotten ❤
In January 2020, we're still watching it. I came here after Harry and Meghan's decision. You know what? In Turkey many people applauded them and praised Harry because they saw this as an honourable standing against the people who destroyed her mother and act now as if nothing happened. You may criticise them but it's unimportant and irrelevant for my issue because i'm telling you this to show her very big positive effect on people who belong to a country in which the British aren't generally seen in good way due to historical reasons.
This is the impression of Diana, after all these years. Her tragedy is very impressive and we shouldn't forget her.
And also we know those heartless people are responsible for her death. They ruined this lovely woman's life just for their own pleasure and ambition. Furthermore they're the future king and queen. The media is attacking incessantly to Harry and Meghan but it seems they forgot who Charles and Camilla are. Well, they may have the throne, but, Diana wanted to win the throne in people's heart as she said in her famous 1995 interview and she obviously took that incomparable throne, which they will never be able to take it from her and which they can never gain as she did.

Beautifully written and I agree with everything you wrote. There is no doubt in my mind that the "royals" had her killed. Never, ever will I see them as true monarchs.
Vous avez raison, après 23 ans, j'en pleure encore .
@@gabriellechanel7076 I feel the same. They actually forgot that they are merely humans and that they will definitely have to pay for whatever they have done.
