Princess Diana~ Icon




















When I read an article about the way Prince William infused his mother's spirit into his ceremony I was heart struck.  Not only were both held in the same church but the song that ended Princess Diana's funeral began the wedding.  The same flowers from his mother's bouquet were used, there's the engagement ring of course and the couple took a pilgrimage to her grave site days before.  He kept her there every step of the way and I thought it was absolutely beautiful. 

Princess Di was literally my idol, I loved her and thought she was the most glorious, thought provoking and interesting woman I had ever seen.  She was a fantastic mother, a one of a kind princess and a gorgeous fashion icon as we see here. Her beauty was mesmerizing yet she made herself very approachable as the "people's princess".  Her amazing humanitarian work set an example for us all to follow and she will forever be immortalized as one of the most incredible human beings that has blessed this earth.

  13. HRH, Princess Diana was just priceless. She was the shining light in many dire situations that people were facing. She would bring hope to people who had nothing. She was the true meaning of a generous heart. The one word to describe her is PRICELESS! We all miss her so.

    Princess Catherine is also a shining light and she to is priceless. I wish Princess Catherine and Prince William all the happiness they are capable of receiving. Congratulations to a wonderful couple. Your mother, Princess Diana would be so proud of you Prince William and so proud of her new daughter in law, Princess Catherine.

  14. Diana is a sad figure. She married too young, and married the wrong man. She might have been better off with Prince Andrew.
