So this is not a AIBU but it's an ATBU for are THEY being unreasonable.

I have seen a lot of you tube shorts marking the 25 year death of Lady Diana Spencer/the princess. They say she was a devoted mum and participated in the boys' school events, gave them macdonald's ect. Was a lovely, normal mum. I don't dispute that. Even though she died just before I was born so i hardly know anything about her, i think she is amazing and did not deserve to die. That brings me on to how some people said she wrote in her diary that she thought Charles was planning to kill her (staging an accident) so he could marry Camilla and that she knew something was wrong with the brakes in her car. For any of you who don't know, she died in a car accident in Paris on August 31rd 1997.

She was the people's princess and adored by all, she was one of us as her children went to public schools, she dressed casual. ect.

I also have some questions:

  • Where was Diana buried, I know she had a state funeral thing?
  • Did Diana see her kids much after the divorce?
  • If Diana was alive now, what would her position be?
  • Charles did not mention Diana in his becoming king speech - he could have said 'And the boys' mother who taught them so much' or something - do you think he should have?

YABU: They are being unreasonable and Charles did not order Diana's murder
YANBU: They are not being unreasonable and Charles did order Diana's murder

I find it very interesting, that after a period of relative quiet about Diana, suddenly the press and social media are stuffed full of negative stories about her again. Funny how this has coincided with the proclamation of the new king 🤔

There’s always a glut of stories about her in august and September. Every year.

No I don't think, so a nursery teacher is a qualified teacher anyway ,but I'm not sure she had a nursery nurse qualification .

Show quote history

I think she was just helping out part time in the school. It wasn't really a job, just something to fill time until she married.

But a lot of people started calling her a 'teacher' when it became public about her and Charles.

She was a typical sloane really. A lot of them just got casual jobs in friend's of daddy's gallery or company. They had the right voice and appearance for meeting the public, and it was just a bit of a pastime until they married and moved to the country.

That was probably how Diana envisaged her life until Charles came along.

Pro-Charles propaganda would want to hush it up after all this time, not rake it up again. How on earth would that be likely to increase his popularity?

@KimberleyClark - a friend works at a cathedral where her service was. It was at night and very quiet.
