"Soros was not native born."

Kissinger was not native born.

Madeline Albright was not native born.

And HOW MANY others?

Interesting, isn't it.

Diana is no gold digger, baby. She's a Spencer...as in Spencer-Churchill...one of the oldest aristicratic families in Britain. Go to althorp.com to see her family's ancestral home. Althorp has the most extensive (and expensive) art collections in Britain. In fact, the Spencers have more English blood than the Windsors.

Please, stop with the facts. People think she's just a commoner like the rest of us working class stiffs.

I do believe there is a king's mistress in her ancestry in the last 100-150 years. She married one of her own.

They would have made some couple!

I think JFK would have been proud to be the step-grandfather of King William.

Diana would have been a cousin by marriage to Arnold, to boot!

I oughta write my *own* book - a historical novel of "what might have been."

Hint: on page 305, Diana finds Bin Ladin

Just think how history might have been different if Diana had fallen in love with Saudi multimillionaire and headcase Osama bin Hidin, rather than Egyptian-Saudi multimillionaire (okay, Dad is) and cokehead Dodi al-Fayed.

Better, but I still don't think she makes Di look like a man, as the poster I originally relpied to stated.

Neither is a great beauty to my eye, I see many prettier at the grocery store, but Di had a way about herself that was worthy of the Princess title.

I wonder the same thing about Jackie O, she was just a skinny, high maintenance clothes horse to me.

LOL! I always thought the same thing. She had a beautiful face though...until she opened her mouth and spoke! What a voice!

On the grounds, yes. It's close to a pond there on the grounds.

Althorp is a rather grand house but is not a castle.

Diana is supposed to be buried on an island in a lake at Althorp. It is where the family always buried their dogs. Seriously.  

SoS

Grand indeed. Not a castle, huh? Could we call it a manor???

You may call it whatever suits your fancy; however, words have meaning. Althorp is not a castle. It may or may not be a manor in the real/legal meaning of that word. In any event, the Spencer family calls it now, and has always called it, simply Althorp. Why should you decide to give it a name beyond that which the owners use? Do you think it makes Althorp more important if you call it, erroneously, a "castle"?

Certainly it is grand, indeed --- but not a castle and very possibly not a manor, either.

I was trying to be funny about the 'manor' comment, actually. However, as you say, words do have meaning. In that vein, in the U.S., Althrop would certainly be considered an estate. Have you seen photos of Althorp?

Once again, words have meaning. Even though the Spencers refer to Althorp [the whole thing, not just the house] as Althorp Estate, technically estate means something left by someone who has died.

Yes, I have seen many beautiful pictures of Althorp. Among many other fascinating things about Althorp, there is a really remarkable old dairy with cream and sage colored Wedgwood tiles. It is a fabulous property. Nothing I have said about it is meant to detract from that incontrovertible fact.

It's sort of the same fascination that men have for skanks like Angelina Jolie w/ no tattoos.

Little girls want to grow up and be Princesses and live "happily ever after"

That man, Burrell said on "GMA," was a heart surgeon
in London named Hasnat Khan. It was love at first sight for the princess, he explained. "They met by accident. The princess was visiting a friend at
the Royal Brompton Hospital. The elevator was about
to close. Someone put their foot in the door. The doors
open, and the princess saw a man in his scrubs." "She looked at him and instantly knew that he was the one.
She said to me later, 'Paul, I just knew. He was
drop-dead gorgeous.'"
Americans would vote for a muzzie??? Wow, that girl was seriously deranged.
