You’re darned right. The WW II generation sacrificed in ways we can’t imagine.
I can’t say I’m a Diana fan. It’s inescapably true that she was “done wrong”, as the saying goes, but she was a manipulator, and she had problems with the truth. She fed stories to the press that cast her in a glowing light, as the model mother, and then lied about doing so. That “Queen of Hearts” stuff was calculated.
Diana was only 19 when she married Charles. I was a dingbat at 19, too. Looking back at it, from one’s 40s, it’s easy to say that a person should calculate the benefits and play the game, but we weren’t there at the time.
William and Harry have turned out pretty well. If they were my sons, I wouldn’t be complaining. Sometimes children overcome their parents’ example in dramatic ways!
