26th anniversary of Diana’s death

[beeonmybonnett]

I had forgotten but just seen it on a Facebook post which reminded me.

It’s a shame she’s no longer here. I liked her.

I wonder if William/Harry and their families are doing anything privately to mark the anniversary and I always wonder do Charles and Camilla think of Diana on the anniversary.

Weird thread. I was two when she died it's so strange to me that people seem to mourn her when they never even met her. It's been 26 years since someone you didn't know died in a car crash... move on.

I think for people who didn’t live through the era of Diana it is quite impossible now to understand her global fame and impact (in a pre-internet age too), and the shock of her tragic early death. And the subsequent hysteria it caused in the UK.

I genuinely can’t think of anything comparable. Maybe JFK? But I wasn’t alive then, so can’t compare.
