Was King Charles wrong to take a rose from Charles Spencer's bouquet?

Charles Spencer says as Diana's coffin was lowered into the ground, several people there dropped flowers on the coffin. King Charles took a rose from Charles Spencers bouquet and dropped it on Diana's coffin.

This struck me as it shows a very casual disregard for other people's feelings. This was Charles Spencers flowers, but without a thought, king Charles took mine of the flowers. And remember relationships were extremely strained between the two men.

Sometimes I think the smallest incidents like this can reveal someone's true character. It's like someone being rude to a waiter. The king just acts like no one else matters except what he wants.

Should have added that Charles was there on behalf of his sons, who were Diana’s next of kin, but minors. Diana’s sisters were also there and could have invited their mother or asked her to be invited.

Frances and Diana were not speaking at the time of her death, so it may have been felt Diana wouldn’t have wanted her there. Or they may have wanted to spare her the heartache of the journey. Frances herself may have felt guilty about not being on speaking terms with her daughter when she died and may have felt guilty about not asking to go to Paris. We will never know, I guess. But all of those - speculation as they are - are no less credible than Charles deliberately denying Frances sight of Diana’s body for cruel and nefarious Reasons.

Diana named her mother as one of her two executors. If she had not wanted her mother there she would have changed her will.
We have zero idea of the mechanism of how the sisters were involved. We know Charles phoned them and invited them in the flight. We don't know if they asked who else was going. We do know the flight was hours after they were told of their sisters death.

I agree it's wrong in every way and a massive over sight that no one had got charles his own flowers !

Charles was there to support his sons. It didn't matter if he had a flower to throw on top of his ex wife's coffin. As he didn't have flowers he should have just supported his sobs.

As a legal eagle yourself you must know what there is often a difference between what people want and what is recorded legally as their wishes at any particular point in time

otherwise Diana would have been in and out of her Lawyers offices on a regular basis

With all due respect you don’t know anything about this , you are simply stating your opinions as fact and it doesn’t matter how many times you say the same thing it won’t make it true.
can I also ask why you started a thread about one topic and have now started on a completely different one?
you also have not returned to your other thread about the unfortunate picture, have you decided to ask for that to be removed for the sake of the poor vulnerable woman?

I'd love to know the answers to these questions so I'm quoting them as the OP seems to have accidentally missed answering them.

Why have I not returned to another thread? I can barely keep up with this one.

Maybe I should clone myself so I can comment on many many posts as quickly as some people want?

I ignored the question because it is ridiculous whataboutery.

Have you accepted yet that the comments about Charles Spencer denying Diana a house were lies?

Yes and out of respect he shoud have had his own flowers and no he shouldn't have pinched one !!

Diana had already added a codicil to her will once. For very rich people adding a codicil is a five minute job. The solicitor visits you at home.
Diana did not add a codicil removing her mother as an executor. Her mother had been an executor for a long time. The king was not an executor yet made the arrangements to collect Diana's body and invited her sisters to join him on the flight.

So why make multiple threads? Better yet why make thread at all if you have no desire to listen to other viewpoints?

Yes I think saying as a legal eagle yourself... Is a personal insults.

I have told you I am a paralegal. If you want to refer to my job you can be accurate.

Did KC or her private secretary manage her will details ? 🤔

No, "legal eagle" is not inherently an insult. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, it is an informal slang term used to describe a highly skilled, sharp, or ambitious lawyer
