-if those boys really were fathered by the riding instructor...heck she already HAS! LOL - she’s beheaded the whole monarchy with that!

Hey, lookie what I found at your favorite dictionary: Mash Here.

Perhaps 'you critical male freepers' might have been a better phrase. The article was about Diana and some took it as open season to attack her character alone without also being critical of the source of her public humiliation and heartbreak.

Another alternate could have been 'my fellow conservatives'.

Diana was a high profile woman, not a saint. A compassionate conservative might have seen many of her actions for what they were. A plea to her husband to honor her and his vows.

I'm still surprised why nobody asks why flashbulbs bright enough to see through black evening dresses had nothing to do with distracting the driver as he was entering the tunnel.

Tell that to the perps - they’re the last to think so.

[fanfan]

Who’s ears are those?

[cinives]

Since she didn’t, it was an inappropriate name.

[Slip18]

Oh, now I have to look up words for which you have used or misspelled, Mister. Shoot, I forgot about our bet with “spendthrift.” I thought it was two words.

[Cyber Liberty]

Arguing about the definition is a lot better than arguing about being one, wouldn't you agree? Neither of us are...

;^)

[chit*chat]

Thank you!

[fanfan]

Here are the three men.

Harry

Hewitt

Charles in 1970, close to Harry's age.

Just an observation.

[teenyelliott]

Thats his kid. The fact the House of Windsor refused to allow a DNA test speaks for itself. The fact Diana admitted the moment Charles saw the son he realized who’s it was, and that was the moment she claimed ‘her marriage died’ is public record.

I have no idea if those are actual facts or just things you "read about" or "heard about". I certainly am not going to do any research on it, as I am not here to debate some kid's DNA. As I said, I don't care one way or another.

However, as a grown up, name calling is just silly. If you have an argument, make it. If you have a fact, post it. If all you can offer is "Slut!!!!!!", then you just look like a child.

[fanfan]

Why no DNA?

If you were the Queen, would you allow it?

[tioga]

-the young prince does not have the same nose as charles......looks much more like the riding instructor to me......right down to the hair color.

[fanfan]

Not both of them.

LOL.

Just Harry.
William is the heir.

[tioga]

-sorry, william doesn’t look so much like charles either........now that you have openned THAT can of worms you can’t put the lid back on.

[fanfan]

Yup.

I wouldn’t change lives with “the princess” for a second.

I’m glad my Mom bought me Noddy books, and the ugly swan.
Now those were good stories.

;-)

[Newfy]

That picture that came out a few days ago certainly looked like a bright light had been flashed into the eyes of the driver and her bodyguard (who is seen lowering the visor).

[MoochPooch]

I’ve always thought Prince Charles was a clod. And I’ve never understood how a twenty something Diana didn’t see it clearly before getting engaged, let alone ‘married’ to the guy.

I remember a British journalist saying that he had always considered their wedding a sham, that Charles had married Diana only because he was pushed by his parents, who were concerned about an heir.

Probably Prince Charles's biggest mistake was one a lot of people make: they goof around during their young (& more marriageable) years, then finally decide (or have) to get married. The problem is, by then the eligible mates are no longer around.

So what does Charles do? "Bargain-hunting": he had to settle for a pretty but vapid girl, who had nothing in common with him but who was at least young & virginal. These marriages work as long as the other partner doesn't grow. The problem was, Diana did. And she realized she was conned.

However, I can't say Diana got a raw deal, considering she loved the spotlight, & became famous only because she married Charles. She probably should have been more aware of what she was getting into.

I heard you are a terrible cook.
