Entry: Diana Deserves Better Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/diana_deserves_better#4333 Post contents: WFH sed: "Princess Diana was a descendant of King Charles II, “prince” Charles is not. She was the only royalty in the House of Windsor, by blood and by class. She had more right to be Queen of Great-Britain than her mother-in-law." The "Windsors" are among the worst examples of the excesses of European aristocracy...I agree that Diana was a REAL British Princess, and it showed in the way she behaved, the way she related to everyday folks, and even the charities she supported. Mr D sed: "Though Diana pretended to have been an innocent at court, describing herself as a lamb being led to slaughter, her family were courtiers, thoroughly versed in the ways of the Firm, as the royals like to refer to themselves." While the Spencers were part of the aristocratic classes, it is hard for anyone to believe that Diana herself was anything but a shy, naive innocent in that family. Sure, she learned the ways of the "Firm", and developed the political adeptness that you speak of. That fact is to her credit, btw. Her real talent was relating to the everyday working family, and in that she was a REAL princess! The fact that she was more popular then the "Windsors" (a fake name) is her legacy. As bad as you might believe the Spencers were, they were at least ENGLISH in culture and breeding. The REAL courtiers, sneaks and thieves were the "Windsors"---a fake name for a cunning, self-indulgent bunch (The largely German Saxe-Coburg-Gotha/Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg famlies) that by fate and cunning took the throne of England for themselves, and ruled it with self-indulgence and detachment. God Bless Diana, the authentic British monarch, the best of what the aristocracy should be to the people of England. Sent at: 2008 12 02
