I was at the service for Diana in Wellington, New Zealand. The Archbishop mentioned the service was for the three people, Dodi Fayed, Diana and Henri Paul. Every time, he mentioned all three. I was so happy he included everyone who died. They are all equally important as human beings.

Oh my goodness, I remember this speech being broadcasted even in my country. I was a child. No matter what, Diana is still remembered

[jackygummer]

I think people forgot her majesty was also caring for two grandsons who had just lost their mother. She got her priorities right

[tapele]

It's so strange to think that William and Harry lost their mother when they were so young (less than 20yo) while their father lost his at 73...

EDIT: I just wanted to clear it up, by "strange" I simply wanted to point out a fun or curious fact.
Wow! What an amount of likes

I believe the Queen’s priority was in the right place. William and Harry were her main concern before others.
Those boys needed their Grandma first not the Queen. When they were ready, they could faced the public and share their grief. What a terrible loss. Rest In Peace, Diana. 🥲🙏💔

In retrospect, her being there for Will and Harry before everyone else, just shows that in that moment Elizabeth Windsor won, not Elizabeth Regina.

The Queen broke a lot of Traditional Royalty Rules props to her and always did with class.

I was around 11 when Diana died and I clearly remember how heart broken and saddened people were. It's undescribable and incomparable to anything I've witnessed since.

Rest in peace Princess Diana, you will always be the 'Queen of hearts' in the world's eyes and no one can fill that void. You will never be forgotten for your selfless work and caring for those less fortunate.

No royal could ever take her place, she did everything out of purity and not attention. One of the most gracious people to ever walk, a special place in heaven for a pure soul ✨️

I think this was the first time the queen put the family first and being a queen second. I’m sure there were more pressing matters on their mind than a flat. But I also think she listened to what her people wanted and responded.

I remember when Princess Diana passed. Everyone was in shock, it was unexpected and tragic. I understand why people were so upset at what they perceived as an uncaring Queen and Royal Family, however at that time protocol did not allow for response. It was not until the people demanded it that the Queen was able to change the rules. I believe she was more than happy to do so and truly loved Diana as did the rest of the world.

The Queen's passing although not unexpected still stings. She has always been one of my heros.

Even on our side of the pond, you could walk into almost any store and hear someone ask, "Have we heard from the Queen yet?" Once Her Majesty spoke, everyone seemed to be comforted, I know I was. It was another reminder of how much we all love the Queen all over the world.

[kanazef]

Respect and love. Rest in peace Lady Diana we always remember you and also The Queen Elizabeth II.

[Prince]

That was the best event when the Queen and Royal Family came out I cried when the came out to look at all the flowers and cards . That was very very special to many people.

[obi-wankenobi]

The Queen did what she does best, just be the Queen and carried on with respect and honour and made sure her two grandsons where looked and cared for ! Like grandmothers do ! 😁 ❤ 👍 👍 .

Oh! How I remember those days. It was so very tragic and I believe that the Queen did as she could while not being sure of just what to do. In the end she did what was right for her grandsons.

[rg]

There was definitely remorse in the Queen’s eyes. What do you say in something so monumental tragic? She had her own grieving to do and probably had to think long and hard about what she would say.

[RiyanRishitha]

It's horrific knowing that the queen died nearly to the date of princess diana's. The two English roses and forever great royals.

[rebekkariblet]

And the queen was a mother and a grandmother and protected those young boys so if it took her a moment in time she deserves that and the respect after all Diana was a relative of hers god bless the queen
