To be upset Prince Harry has made Diana all about her death?

[polkadotdalmation]

Diana was a wonderful person in many ways. She had her faults like everyone, but mostly due to her dysfunctional childhood.

However she was a loving mother, a fearless campaigner for HIV and the other charities. A humanitarian who campaigned against land mines. None of these were glamorous, but she did it anyway.

She helped bring the monarchy into the 20 century. She was kind, warm and relatable as a person. She should be remembered as such.

Harry however has made it all about her horrendous death in a Paris tunnel. Endlessly merching the memory of her traumatic death, making it all about him and not his brothers pain, rehashing her death in his book, and now this latest stunt, which was likely designed to get his free security reinstated. If he knew what honour was he would be ashamed, but he won't be. All Diana is now is a mortally injured woman in a tunnel.

It’s no-one else’s fault that when you think of Diana you picture her ‘mangled up in a car crash’’ I think of her incredibly rarely like most sane people. Honestly, I think you probably need some help with your mental state. Good luck

Have you thought about seeking help? Does it matter what you as an individual remember? Why do you rely on Harry who i guess you've never met I don't think about Diana much but i remember the wedding and her revenge dress.

Dod you lose your parents young?

To me it feels like he is using his mother's death to keep his own narrative going that the press is evil and he is a victim. It's getting tedious now. I would have no problem whatsoever with him talking about his mother or her death, if it wasn't done in such a self-serving manner.

@minou123 It's not about what I can find. It's about what Harry has given the world as an image at the forefront of their minds. What do you see when you think of her? Two children walking behind her coffin? He is monetising her death, that's what disgusts me.

what so you think he should never talk about something that clearly has deeply affected him?

If I could make money by talking about my mums death in order to secure my kids future (who never got to meet her) then I absolutely bloody would. My mums story deserves to be told.
OP are you deliberately trying to come across as an arsehole?

I'm sure he'd rather not have had to walk behind his own mothers coffin..

As pp have said: do shut up you bloody idiot.

He's earned millions of dollars for this. I don't think he would have anything like the high profile he has if it wasn't for Diana's young death, and the sympathy of millions. He needs to let her rest in peace and grieve her in private.

@handydandynotebook And hasn't he monetised it enough?

I must be the one with the odd moral compass.

You don't have a moral compass, to judge someone's trauma like this.

Just stop op. Please.

I also lost a parent as a child. What you’re saying is really offensive. I was more William’s age so better equipped to deal with it than Harry. But it was a big thing in my life. Huge. For decades.

Luckily for me the death wasn’t splashed all over the newspapers and I didn’t walk behind the coffin in front of millions.

I am not a Harry fan these days. But I still have a great deal of sympathy for what he went through.

OP what do you mean rest in peace? She isn’t resting anywhere - she’s dead.
How old were you when you lost a parent?

While in no way annoyed with Harry, I would - tentatively- suggest that his current lifestyle choices could be putting him into environments and situations that might not help him emotionally, given his traumatic past.

My husband was killed in a car crash by an overtaking driver. Our children at the time were 19, 22 and 24. His death was so traumatic that yes, unfortunately, his death is our focus of attention, not his life.
Walk a step (bugger a mile) in our shoes and then come back to this thread. You have no idea.

I literally said I have no problem whatsoever with him talking about his mother or her death if it wasn't done in such a self-serving manner.

He absolutely should talk about it, but he is using it to try and make points where inevitably he has been wronged or is a victim. There is a marked difference in the way Harry and William talk about her, when they talk about her, to what purpose.

@Mummyoflittledragon Everyone, me included has a lot of sympathy for what Harry and William went through. It's every parent's nightmare to both lose a child, or die and leave that child.

No matter what, I wouldn't be monetising it!

Some hideous pay per view 'therapy' session, talking about her death. pay per view. Seriously? You're saying this is right?

No its a you problem. Most of us are not immature and self obsessed that we rely on Harry to leave us images. You do realise you don't have to watch or read anything about him. You clearly dislike him and Meghan so avoid them!!

I agree. Not a royalist, but this came up in New and the title is bonkers alone. How is this thread in the spirit of the site?

This thread is mad.

Diana was his mother. He can do and say what he likes about her.

Why would randoms like @polkadotdalmation get to tell Harry what he can say?

He hasn't given the World any image at the forefront our minds.
Only yours.

I, like you, was a teenager when she died. I remember it all.

As I said, if you are struggling to remember the good things Diana did, it takes zero effort to Google and remind yourself. It's not Harry's place to make you feel better.

As for your accusation of him monetising her death, you're the one that's disgusting..

I'm sorry for your loss, but you're not seeing my point. He is monetising her death, something that would never occur to a bereaved person normally.

@polkadotdalmation Sounds like you're just jealous of his money. He's rich, you're not. Suck it up!!

It's not about what I can find. It's about what Harry has given the world as an image at the forefront of their minds. What do you see when you think of her? Two children walking behind her coffin? He is monetising her death, that's what disgusts me

What ??? The press gave you the image of the mangled car, the press and the royal family gave the the images of him walking behind her coffin, the press are the ones constantly rehashing stories of what he has said and what was written in his book.

You don't need to even consider his thoughts, opinions, feelings or the way he lives his life, if you choose not too. However you do appear to choose to be as invested in this as you are.
I suggest taking a step back from this for a while, switch off from the press.

God, some British people are embarrassingly odd about the royal family. Get some perspective. And a life.
