If Diana was still alive and if times were normal, do you think Diana would have attended Prince Philip’s funeral today?

Not in the pandemic like Fergie didn’t. Although Fergie is known to have been close to the Duke as was Diana

Its a Royal occasion, so even in normal times it would be by invitation. Cant imagine her being asked tbh

No. How many times in the 24 years since her death do you think she would have seen him?

Foolintherain · 17/04/2021 16:17

She wouldn't have been invited.

Who would know. I wonder what she would be up to these days.

I thought he couldn’t stand Fergie and she was banished for a while?

Sceptre86 · 18/04/2021 00:21

No, in a pandemic situation she wouldn't have made the guest list.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 18/04/2021 00:24

Mark Phillips and Sarah Ferguson weren't there so she wouldn't have been

He couldn't stand Fergie.

Ever since the topless toe sucking photo was taken, he would barely be in the same room as her.

No. Divorced spouses were not invited so she wouldn't have been. I'd imagine that after 20+ years she'd be remarried and living somewhere like he USA.

No. But I imagine if Diana had still been alive Charles would never have remarried either

Why not?

I think that if Diana was still alive now, she would have grown in stature and personality,, and fully accepted that Charles had married Camilla after a while. Their bad times happened years ago, and Diana would have moved on to her chosen life, she was very very popular, and would have made her mark somewhere in the world.

She would most probably have been able to stay friends with Charles, because of their two sons.,and would not have wanted to miss seeing their adult lives now.

I think she would have been invited to the funeral , if it had been long before Covid, when hundreds of people are usually invited to such happenings.
