I’m not sure it’s a whimsical addition 😱

I mean it’s still extremely poor taste given their position

Yeah I'm with @AppleKatie, it's still in poor taste and "we are united with gratitude for your support and kindness" makes it seem like they are the victims.

I agree it's still poor taste! Making light of very serious issues. And yes painting themselves as the victims. I wasn't posting to justify the card just to clear up some confusion from when the card initially broke.

The batshit Diana Facebook groups have truly spoiled us this Christmas. Here are some of their photoshopped offerings.

That is so wrong on so many levels.

who knew such batshittery existed how horrible

Though I have to say that as someone who was a child in the 80s when Diana's stardom was at its peak, I do wonder what extra drama she'd have brought if she was still around today. Would she have faded into the background with a new family or would she have been the MiL from hell?

She wouldn’t have faded into the background. She’d have understood the power of Instagram for sure.

@TracyBeakerSoYeah

I think in this day & age Japan should change the constitutional rules & allow a woman to inherit The Chrysanthemum Throne

I read somewhere that this was something that the allies put in place after the war. Beforehand women could inherit- need to check my sources though.

I'd settle for women not being excommunicated if they marry.

There was talk for a while about their constitution being changed but then the emperor's brother had a son so the plans were shelved. It still doesn't explain the total absence of the Princess from all state occasions. I find that very odd as she can't be at school all the time!

OMG those Diana pics are utterly bonkers!!!

Eeek, those pics are crazy!!! 😮

Diana would not have faded into the background. She was a manipulator of the press & yes would have definitely understood Instagram.

Those Diana FB photos 😱

Those Diana pics are rather creepy - especially the one with her in the clouds

I read somewhere that this was something that the allies put in place after the war. Beforehand women could inherit- need to check my sources though

The post-war changes limited the succession to male descendants of then Emperor Hirohito's father, but the change to allow only males to inherit happened earlier in the mid-1800s.

The post-war reforms introduced by the allies did include women's suffrage, however.

When in doubt ask @SenecaFalls!

Gosh, the media would have had a field day obsessing over the Diana, Kate, Meghan dynamic!

And chuck Camilla into the mix!

Gosh yes wouldn’t the christenings have been fun! Will she won’t she attend etc..

Well hopefully if Diana had married again, was happy and potentially produced a few more children. All the animosity would have died down by the time the grandkids came along.

Well there probably wouldn't have been a Camilla if Diana was still around! Not that she'd have been bumped off or anything like that but I doubt Charles would've married her, even if Diana had remarried.

Do you think? I agree it would have taken longer but I’m sure it would of happened by now... don’t you think?

I think Diana's death actually set Charles's marriage plans with Camila back. If memory serves, his PR people had already started work on rehabilitating her in the eyes of the public but Diana's death put a fast halt to that.

It's pure speculation but i don't think he would have married C if D had not died. I don't think he would have wanted to be a re-married monarch with an x wife hanging about.

As it was D&C were only divorced for barely a year before she died iirc. I wouldn't be surprised if he feels himself more to be a remarried widower rather than a remarried divorcee.
