Princes Diana
I've never been a big fan of the royals. I didn't have a problem with the monarchy, but was mostly interested in watching what kind of hat the Queen would be wearing. I was also always curious as to why Prince Phillip had to walk behind the Queen! But when Charles married Princess Di, I was hooked. I remember getting up in the middle of the night to watch the wedding on TV. It was all so beautiful! She was this shy, demure, soft spoken beauty and she was just intriguing. As she grew, and matured, and became more self assured, she just began to blossom. As a mother, you could just see that was the role she was most suited to. Those boys were adorable! As a maturing woman, the humanitarian in her became evident to all, and the world fell in love with her.
I can still remember sitting on the edge of my bed 10 years ago, getting ready to go somewhere when the news of her tragic death was announced. I was absolutely stunned! I felt like I had known her, and it was just the saddest thing ever, to think of those boys of hers having to grow up without their beloved mother. It's a true tribute to her, to hear her grown sons, now men, speaking now of the wonderful woman who was their mother.
