Subject: RE: BS: Prince Charles' Countryside Fund
Fook that comment on Diana.
Did you have the courage to go out and hug AIDS patients then? Did you spend months of your life every year helping others, cuddling sick children around the world. Did you take your children into hostels for the homeless, ensuring that despite their future wealth, they'd know how others had to live?
Charles and Diana should never have married, but fate thought otherwise. They were both damaged people in need of parental figures in their marriage, so were totally unable to help each other.
She was a great mother, deeply loved and sorely missed to this day by William and Harry, who were talking about her very recently, saying how they still think about her every single day, and how they hope she's proud of them now, especially with the charity work they're both doing..
She touched the hearts of an entire nation, and of many other nations around the world...and this country is a far poorer place without her. Yes, she had problems, mainly caused by her parents divorce. Don't we all have problems? It was what made her human. It was why the British loved her as they did, lined her funeral route all the way home to Althorp. No-one else in our history has had a sending off like that, and whilst the hard hearted ones cringed at the display of public emotion, so alien to this country, many others felt a deep sorrow for a young woman who could have achieved a great deal more with her life, had it been a longer one.
Charles, for all his faults, at least brought her home, and finally stood up to his mother over Royal Protocol. He's now happy with Camilla, whom he should have married to begin with. But if Diana and he hadn't married, then many people around this world would not have had their lives touched, inspired and helped, by one woman who cared deeply for the souls of others.
So you see, Fate sometimes knows far more than Love.
