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

278 replies

polkadotdalmation · 19/05/2023 19:25

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.

I most certainly would make money from my mother's death

How old were you when you lost a parent?

I must be quite abnormal then. Even if my late mum was famous I wouldn't want to merch her memory.

Have 100s of other people made money out of you mother's death? Was it.splashed all over the papers when she died? Were you made to walk behind her coffin in front of the whole world? Did it leave you in the position of being the only one in your immediate family who wasn't the heir to the throne? Did you have to go to a totally new boarding school 3 weeks after her death?

Also can you explain why you read about these who you clearly dislike?

@handydandynotebook But it is. He has done nothing for the past 3 years except talk publicly about her death. He won't let her rest. He is monetising her memory. He has made millions from it. And now in NYC he's attempting to tell the world he is another Diana terrorised by paparazzi, when it's clear it's just a stunt.

How old were you when your parent died?

FGS how low will the OP go? How low will these daily mail worshipping idiots go in their quest to shame M & H! Haven't you got anything better to think about OP?

behaveasbefitsthesituationwillyas · 19/05/2023 20:51

William called his own mother paranoid.

But anyway, if William wanted to bring out a book of his life then he would be perfectly within his rights to, and make money off it too. Would you complain about that then too, Op? Or is it only Harry that can't?

Namechanger1002 · 19/05/2023 20:51

Stop saying rest op. She can’t rest what with her being dead.

I suppose someone who shows so little class (oh the irony) that he will make money from slandering his entire family for money, it's not much of a push to do the same thing to his mothers memory.

Would be lovely if he did a Netflix show about her life and all the positive things she did for a change.

William honours Diana..Harry monetises her, or claims sympathy because of her death, or manipulates people by using her name.
I prefer William's model.

William gets money from his dad.

To be "upset" about how someone you don't know chooses to remember his own mum is beyond batshit!

I'd stop reading anything about H &M at this point if I were you because you may be turning into the opposite of a "crazy fan". If over-invested was a person...

I'm obviously wrong. Carry on Harry. Lots more pictures you can show and lots more 'interviews' you can do to make a few more millions. It's clearly totally acceptable. Maybe growing up in the 80s when she was alive has warped me.

@polkadotdalmation Op you ARE warped.

MyNectarineGivesMePeachVibes · 19/05/2023 20:57

I grew up in the 80s when she was alive. Couldn't give a shit how Harry remembers his own mum or how much he makes with her memory and image. Couldn't care less about the lot of them either, including Diana. They're just human like everybody else.

Potsto · 19/05/2023 20:57

If you were in the media spotlight and they were telling your story without your consent, I assume you'd also want to put your own perspective out there. I imagine it's more about that than the money.

Clearly it's normal to merch your dead mother and I'm the warped person

Op you are coming across as someone who needs help. Can we help you? Can we find you support? Am sure there is a helpline somewhere that we can find for you. Are you ok?

Potsto · 19/05/2023 21:02

How much do you suppose the Daily Mail "merches" - to use your term - from their near-constant Royal Coverage, including Diana?

Go after them.
