Diana and Sophie

How come these two were never photographed together?

From what I gather they were rivals of a sort?

That's a beautiful photo of Diana

Do you spend a lot of time with your boyfriend’s brother’s ex wife?

Because you seem to think it’s weird not to.

AnImaginaryCat · 21/09/2022 06:59

Not rivals at all, it's they obvious that are the same person.

That photo is a lie, to throw us off the scent. Floweryflora is in on it.

A quick Google brings up a few tabloid stories:
Diana and Fergie resented Sophie and the easy ride she was getting compared to them. Diana didn't like that Sophie was a commoner, and called her Miss Goody Two Shoes. She also was very critical of Sophie's fashion choices.

How true any of this is, though, is anyone's guess.

The link I found to the Goody Two Shoes story was in the NY Post - Murdoch’s US equivalent to the Sun.
I’m not inclined to take that as gospel 🤣

(Though it’s a shame Diana missed the fake sheikh story. I bet she’d have roared at that.)

Yes, but but Sophie dated Edward for six years (during which time Diana was alive and well)

I think their paths might have crossed?

Diana wasn't really part of the family then though, was she ?

Who cares? This is the kind of lazy muck raking a Mail journalist does.

But she wasn't part of the family then...how would their paths have crossed in any meaningful sense?
And in what way could they possibly be rivals?

Its probably all bollocks. For some reason two women can never be friends or even just get along fine in the eyes of the media. We're always rivals.

Was Diana wearing black to that wedding? That's almost as bad around these parts as wearing white isn't it?

JaneJeffer · 21/09/2022 13:01

That's what I thought @Mochudubh

I miss being an age where I could wear something as short as Sophie's outfit to a wedding Sad

Charles & Diana separated in 92.
Not much overlap there for photo-opportunities 🤔

See photo above, met at a family event.
