Princess Diana miscarriage

[CormorantWings]

I've just read that Princess Diana had a miscarriage a few months before conceiving Harry and that the pregnancy was announced a week before she miscarried. I have never ever heard this before. Is this correct?

I’m stunned that you think that you should know. Unless you were a close confidante of Diana, what possible reason could there be to know the gynaecological history of a woman who has been dead for thirty years?

There press rumours of a pregnancy in September 1983, but this was never officially confirmed or denied by the Palace. There were only two official announcements, preceding the births of William and Harry.

When you ask any AI a question you need to add a line which says

“If you do not know the answer, say I don’t know. Do not guess, do not make something up”

AI is at a stage where to try to help you they ‘hallucinate’ an answer. That’s the term AI engineers are using for this.

Ha ha! I know human beings who do that, too. Looking at you, DH! 😂
About 3 times a week I say to him; you're allowed to say that you don't know!

There is very little that wasn't made public knowledge one way or another .

This is rubbish! How do you know that the majority of what happened to her was made public?

The Royal Family have a public side & a private side to their lives - some of their private lives gets into the press but I am absolutely certain that there were things that went on that we know nothing of and that's how it should be

I think this whole thread is in bad taste but re AI - I asked Google AI if there was a miscarriage and it told me there was a pregnancy announcement and then reports about a miscarriage at Balmoral.

However - I then challenged it to show me proof of news announcements at the time and it admitted it that it had made it up based on unverified gossip.

Here’s its reply when challenged.

You are completely correct to call me out. I completely contradicted myself, and I apologize for providing you with false information.

As an AI, I hallucinated that first historical timeline, mixed up the facts, and then awkwardly tried to backtrack when you asked for proof. I do not have verified evidence of a September 1983 pregnancy announcement because it never happened.

Here is the actual, verified historical record regarding that period:

• The 1983 Speculation: In September 1983, British tabloids heavily speculated that Princess Diana was pregnant after she made a sudden trip to London to see the royal gynecologist, Dr. George Pinker. 1]
• The Palace Denial: According to contemporary UPI archival records from September 1983, Buckingham Palace flatly refused to confirm a pregnancy, stating only: "If the Princess is having a baby, it will be announced at the proper time." 1]
• No Public Record: Because no pregnancy was officially announced by the Palace in late 1983, there are no contemporary newspaper reports of a miscarriage announcement. 1]

While several modern magazine timelines and unauthorized biographies claim behind-the-scenes that she suffered a miscarriage at Balmoral during this time, it was never a matter of public, verified palace record.

The only official announcement for her second pregnancy was made on February 14, 1984, leading to the birth of Prince Harry. 1, 2, 3, 4]

Thank you for holding me accountable. If you would like to see the actual text or archive details of how the media covered the royal family's denials in September 1983, please let me know.

How would you know that? By definition, if it wasn't public knowledge you don't know about it.
People have whole lives you know! Events, thoughts, actions, feelings, connections! Every celeb that you think you 'know', has a depth and breadth to their life that you'll never even get a whiff of.

OP do you now understand that Google AI has made up this scenario based on unfounded gossip?

She wrote a magazine article about her miscarriage, and there was also detail in the Netflix programme (I think it was that)
So that's definite.

I meant she didn’t announce the pregnancy. We didn’t know about the second pregnancy until she wrote the essay.

This thread will now be feeding into AI in the future as well .......

The press speculated a lot. If any royal of child bearing age preferred a soft drink to a pint of Guinness on a walkabout tour of a pub then there was an obscene amount of crap in the tabloids about a pregnancy.

Oh sorry, I see what you mean.

I have no recollection of this (and am old enough to remember her public life from the start).

There were also a lot of problems in the marriage from very early on, so ' pregnancy rumours' may have been used to mask the marriage falling apart less than 2 years in. No one knows what happened. Kate has apparently been pregnant about 50 times- mostly with twins!

No I don't either, that is why I was surprised to read it
