I was so shocked and sorry to hear a decade ago that Diana, Princess of
Wales had left us. One of the major funeral homes in my mid-size US city
had set up a memorial service for her about a week later, and there was a
long line. I didn't mind waiting to sign the book, and was impressed that
all those other Americans cared about her so much. Let's remember that she
wasn't just a pretty royal face who knew charm, but a courageous woman who
put herself out in the world for its people, and suffered indignities
gracefully.

She has been remembered across the UK today. I am just back from our
County's memorial service, hosted by the Lord Lieutenant, which was
relatively tasteful. Now let's hope things go back to normal again.

And also a media-hyped pseudo-fairytale Disneyland icon, especially to those
overseas who didn't see many of her day-to-day idiocies, whose continually
pounded 'memory' by many with other agendas has long started to sicken many
in the UK.

Well I'm sure Diana had some silly quirks, but none I suspect as idiotic as
ruminations about being a tampon etc? Her discussions with James Gilbey
(http://www.geocities.com/rickanddarvagossip/diana_gilbey.html) are so much
more elegant than those of Charles and Camilla
(http://www.geocities.com/rickanddarvagossip/camillagate.html.)
I'm just asking for some perspective ...

It's best to remember her for what she stood for in her own words. The
stories about her "silly quirks" have mostly arisen since her death,
not during her life.

Bollocks.

There were stories about strange visits to hospitals in the night to hold
hands with incurables and other odd goings on while she was alive.

Mainly because she kept stroking elderly people who weren't in any danger
but looked ill...

They, naturally, went straight to the press when they got out of hospital.

Never mind 'silly quirks', she was deeply odd.

Stop defending the indefensible...

Distinguished visitors turning up unannounced at a hospital in the middle of
the night and waking the patients is called 'making life difficult for the
staff'.

She was stone bonkers.

This is a falsehood. Since she was murdered there have been many
slanders on her character to reduce the public opinion of her. That
way they hope that there will be less call for a real investigation of
her death, I suppose.

Nope.

It happened to an elderly relative of mine when he was in a London hospital
for a minor operation.

He looks old and frail and woke in the middle of the nigh to find his hand
being stroked.

Guess who...

And yes, I know the singular of data is not anecdote, and yes I know it's
only my word, but I don't really care because I know it's true...

Diana was stone bonkers..

Cousin Diana was a Master Media Manipulator [3M] -- not "stone bonkers"....

She never understood her proper role as Princess of Wales and wanted to
"CHANGE" the Monarchy, in ways that The Queen had no intention of doing.

Her death is quite easy to understand...

No "Evil Conspiracy" By Prince Philip Is Required.

A 'tricky dogleg' ? Good grief, I know some Americans are as unused to bends
and turns as many of their cars are ill-equipped to take them, but that
really is ridiculous - however pissed you were at the time. I suppose you
would call it 'a curve'... didn't they teach you to drive in the US Navy?

What you're saying is all untrue. Diana was adored in life and did so
much for the world, not the least of which was to champion the ban on
land mines, which is likely why she was murdered, or at least part of
the reason.

------------------------------------------

She didn't have to.

She could have lived a life no odder than any other member of the royal
family.

You know, endless free dinners, hot and cold running servants, a
bottomless supply of money and nice warm trips abroad for a couple of months
every winter.

All she'd have to do would be to lay a wreath snd open the odd hospital,
which, as far as anyone can make out, is what she objected to...

Anyone who claims she objected to her husband playing around doesn't know
anything about royalty...

That's what they do...

I was so shocked and sorry to hear a decade ago that Diana, Princess of
Wales had left us. One of the major funeral homes in my mid-size US
city had set up a memorial service for her about a week later, and
there was a
long line. I didn't mind waiting to sign the book, and was impressed that
all those other Americans cared about her so much. Let's remember that
she
Post by Neil Bates
wasn't just a pretty royal face who knew charm, but a courageous woman who
put herself out in the world for its people, and suffered
indignities gracefully.
And also a media-hyped pseudo-fairytale Disneyland icon, especially to those
overseas who didn't see many of her day-to-day idiocies, whose
continually pounded 'memory' by many with other agendas has long
started to sicken many
in the UK.

Rubbish, sorry.
And 'her own words' were often scripted by her PR guru - "Princess of
Hearts", "There were three in the marriage" etc.
She was largely disliked and criticised in the UK until her death, and it
was then that a strange public fantasy hypnosis suddenly took over for some
weeks.
My experiences both sides of the pond are that in the UK most are now
largely fed up with the continuing hype, while in the USA a Disney-like
adulation still largely exists.
Not a criticism. One US friend and wife are hugely intelligent and worldy,
but still have this oddity, to the extent that they're coming - again - on
'pilgrimage' to Althorp this year. My conversations with them can't shake
them an inch - they're all the way into the whole Prince Phillip - Nazi -
Murder syndrome.

I was so shocked and sorry to hear a decade ago that Diana, Princess of
Wales had left us. One of the major funeral homes in my mid-size US city
had set up a memorial service for her about a week later, and there was a
long line. I didn't mind waiting to sign the book, and was impressed that
all those other Americans cared about her so much. Let's remember that she
wasn't just a pretty royal face who knew charm, but a courageous woman who
put herself out in the world for its people, and suffered indignities
gracefully.
I though she was no longer considered a royal because Prince Dumbo was
plowing some other slut?

Why would "Tampon Charlie's" infidelities delegitimze her as Princess? I
have to admit, anything she did of the same would have that effect, but not
his. Just my common sense Yankee guess.

They got divorced, so wouldn't that make her no longer the princess?
Would Prince Dumbo's new whore be the princess?

As far as I understand it Diana was never actually a Princess in her own
right. Hence she had the official title Diana Princess of Wales because she
was married to the Prince of Wales. She was often called Princess Diana
which was incorrect..

Close, but not quite.

Upon marriage, she became "HRH The Princess of Wales".
Upon divorce, she became Diana, Princess of Wales.

And yes, she was, and still is, incorrectly referred to as 'Princess
Diana'. Even in the memorial service the other day, the Bishop of
London referred to her in his sermon as 'Princess Diana'.

Camilla's official title is, as Diana's was before her, extremely long
winded. She is the current Princess of Wales but because that title was
still associated with Diana she generally uses another part of her long
winded title instead. That is she uses the Duchess of Cornwall. In Scotland
she uses the normal title for the wife of the heir. That is Duchess of
Rothesay.

Right!

The Queen denied her the right to continue to be called Her Royal Highness.

Served Cousin Diana right -- after all the trouble and woe she caused The
Monarchy.

"The Queen took away Her Royal Highness."...

AND she was no longer THE Princess of Wales.

Her infidelities started before his...and her "Princess" status was
entirely a consequence of his making the mistake of marrying her.
She certainly didn't understand what being a Princess entailed (and

In particular most British Aristocrats are not addressed by their title followed by their first name.
Only sons of marquesses and dukes. Also knights and baronets and
daughters of dukes, marquesses and earls
If you are the Viscount Foo, and named Robert you are not Viscount Robert. You are Lord Robert Foo, The Viscount >Foo. And The Lord Foo for short. The "the" is important --
Never Lord Robert Foo for a viscount, only younger sons of marquesses
and dukes.
Lord Robert Foo, Viscount Foo is the heir to somebody with a higher title, and only a Viscount by courtesy.
Viscount Foo could just as easily be a peer, and not necessarily a
viscount by courtesy e.g. Viscount Hereford
The only exceptions are people born into the Royal family (Prince Robert), Dukes or Duchesses (Duke Robert),
Never 'Duke Robert' only 'Duke of Foo'
and people whose title was Lord or Lady in the first place.
All marquesses, earls, viscounts and barons are addressed for example
as 'Lord Foo' but not dukes (Your Grace).

"Aristocrat" isn't a technical term, or an equivalent for "peer". The
vast majority of aristocrats were and are commoners (as the British
understand the term). All it means is "upper class", sometimes with
the restriction "upper class by inheritance of several generations".
What an "aristocrat" was in, say, France or Germany, is another matter

Several thousand.

Neither the Order of the Thistle or The Order of the Garter are typical.

For a start, of the seven mentioned in each order at least two or three will
be royalty.

Others will be almost certainly be foreign royalty.

In addition, royalty are regarded as 'Extra Knights' and therefore
outside the core membership of The Thistle (16 members) and The Garter
(24 members).

A courtesy title isn't an hereditary property any more than a title
obtained by marriage is; it's not inherited, it's attributed by virtue
of one's family connections, a way of expressing the fact that the
person with the title resides within the penumbra of another person
who actually does possess a title as an hereditary property. Had
Diana had children by a later marriage, they would not have inherited
a "Spencer" title.

In particular most British Aristocrats are not addressed by their title
followed by their first name.
Only sons of marquesses and dukes. Also knights and baronets and
daughters of dukes, marquesses and earls
Knights are not aristocrats.
They are commoners.
"Aristocrat" isn't a technical term, or an equivalent for "peer".
The
vast majority of aristocrats were and are commoners (as the British
understand the term). All it means is "upper class", sometimes with
the restriction "upper class by inheritance of several generations".
What an "aristocrat" was in, say, France or Germany, is another matter
entirely.
OK.
Knights remain commoners.
An aristocrat, to my mind, is someone who inherits a title.
Then that would exclude the late Diana Spencer Windsor.
I thought she had a title because of who her daddy was.
She was 'The Lady Diana Spencer'
She will have regained her courtesy title on her divorce.
A courtesy title isn't an hereditary property any more than a title
obtained by marriage is; it's not inherited, it's attributed by virtue
of one's family connections, a way of expressing the fact that the
person with the title resides within the penumbra of another person
who actually does possess a title as an hereditary property. Had
Diana had children by a later marriage, they would not have inherited
a "Spencer" title.
Wouldn't they have been 'The Hon'?
Bearing in mind the lineage of our glorious Royal Family, the existing
children could be "The Hun".

No, no-one would derive any sort of title directly from Diana. 'Hons'
are all sons of barons, viscounts and the younger sons of earls, also
all daughters of barons and viscounts. The honorific 'Lady' is used
for all daughters of earls (as in Diana's case), marquesses and
dukes.

It varies; the grandson of the Duke of Wellington is the Earl of
Mornington and the grandson of the Duke of Marlborough is the Earl of
Sunderland, it all depends on how many subsidiary titles a particular
duke has. The grandsons of earls have no titles or prefixes unless
they are the sons or daughters of the eldest son (if he has a title).
For example, the eldest son of the Earl Cadogan is the Viscount
Chelsea, his sons and daughters are 'Hons'.

Nearly right: Churchill was the son of Lord Randolph Churchill who in
turn was a younger son of The Duke of Marlborough. Sons of younger
sons of dukes aren't 'Hons'. A Right Hon. is a member of the Privy
Council and is also the correct way to address barons, viscounts and
earls. So yes, an MP may be a Right Hon. but only if he is a member of
the Privy Council.

Not far out but not quite. Our butcher might call my husband Mr Hubbard but
he wouldn't call him 'Sir'. I think 'sir' might be used more when you don't
actually know the person's name but are serving them in e.g. a shop. But
it's not something used in everyday conversation between equals. The
English don't use 'sir' or 'ma'am' as much as Americans do, though the more
polite young man will still often address an older man as 'sir', even if he
does know his name. The only man I, as a female, would call 'sir' would be
a royal or an Ambassador or Lt. Governor once I'd called them Your Royal
Highness or Your Excellency.

No, it's limited to title, rank and name "The Duke of Loamshire", "The Earl

No. The style is given to children of those who use peerage titles,
whether substantive or courtesy. Children of the duke's eldest son
(courtesy Marquess of Blandford) are Lord or Lady Forename
Spencer-Churchill, and those of *his* eldest son (courtesy Earl of
Sunderland) are Lady Forename Spencer-Churchill if daughters, and
Honourable if sons. However, children of the second son get nothing.
Post by D. Spencer Hines

As a member of the Privy Council, which he became in 1908 when he
entered the Cabinet. The style "honourable member" is strictly
reserved for referring to MPs in the House of Commons, and does not
entitle them to "Honourable" in any other context.

As a yankee with common sense I regret to inform common sense has very
little to do with British laws on titles.

In particular most British Aristocrats are not addressed by their
title followed by their first name. If you are the Viscount Foo, and
named Robert you are not Viscount Robert. You are Lord Robert Foo, The
Viscount Foo. And The Lord Foo for short. The "the" is important --
Lord Robert Foo, Viscount Foo is the heir to somebody with a higher
title, and only a Viscount by courtesy. The only exceptions are people
born into the Royal family (Prince Robert), Dukes or Duchesses (Duke
Robert), and people whose title was Lord or Lady in the first place.

Diana was not born into the Royal family, so she was technically never
supposed to be called Princess Diana. People did call her that, but
you can't shoot people for saying nice things about your daughter-in-
law. With freedom of speech you can't shoot them even they persist in
saying nice things about her after the divorce.

People were supposed to say "Diana, Princess of Wales;" "Her Royal
Highness" or "Ma'am" for short. After the divorce you were still
supposed to say "Diana, Princess of Wales;" "Ma'am," or "Diana" for
short.

Note that technically Charles' infidelity had nothing to do with the
title change. Royal infidelity is not new, or even rare. The title-
change happened because the Royals involved wanted a divorce.

Right. When I said infidelity would "delegitimize," I meant informally, not
about titles. The commenter to whom I replied may not have gotten that
