Your Thoughts


It's not everyday someone comes into your life whether directly or indirectly and touches your heart in the very special way Princess Diana did.

Diana was the image of beauty and perfection. She and Dodi can not live peacefully in paradise as they were hoping to live here on earth.

To Prince William, Prince Harry, and everyone who was close to "The Princess", may GOD watch over each one of you and give you all the strength you will need to carry on. Princes Diana will always live on in our hearts.

Diana was a Princess in so many senses of the word - her beauty and grace befitting to that of the mother of our future King, and yet so down-to-earth that every one of us felt that she was part of our own families.

Diana took the public humiliation and harrassment from the Press in order that she could continue to support her charities. She really did suffer for her causes. She achieved so much for so many, and changed so many lives with her kindness and tenderness.

The world could never have imagined how devastated it would be, how lost we are without her. This Country has lost the best thing that it had.

If only we had given Diana a fraction of the protection that we afford material objects such as the Crown Jewels and other Royal property. Diana was more of a treasure than any piece of gold, and deserved the protection, and recognition, to reflect it.

It is sadly too late now.

I feel our lives are like equations we're all trying so very hard to Balance most of us muddle them again and again...that sort of explains our lengthy but dissatisfied existence yet once in a while we do find among us those special persons who don’t need a lifetime to find all the answers who need just a little while to get the equation right....and once they're done with the leave ...leaving us in sorrow in a sort of vacuum

princess diana of wales led a fulfilled life without any compromises...stuck to her own ethics i think its best that she passed away before she compromised on any of her principles she will remind us in days to come over and over again thatt we too could be as humane if we let ourselves be

princess diana may have died...but she will live forever...in the hearts of millions of people all world over....those she touched and those she didn’t...because she was a truly beautiful person...and beauty once seen never disappears it grows to become a part of us.

So far away from us you were yet so close to our hearts. Rest in peace sweet lady.

Harry, William, take the torch from her and rise to greatness for her fire burns in you too.

Diana

We shall miss you.

Perhaps we didn't fully realise what we all had until we lost you.

Thank you for all that you gave us. Your example will live beyond you.

It is absolutely shocking how such a warm personality with such an enormous affection for the children, the needy, the ill and the rejected by society, had to end her life in such a tragic way. She absolutely did not deserve this.

She never became Queen of England, but now she is Queen of the People of the World, as they, at least, never let her down.

Our thoughts and prayers go to her two sons, William and Harry, her family and the Royal family. May the Lord Almighty give them strength in these difficult moments.

Let her work not be in vane and that what she started will go on until the results she would have wanted, are achieved.

When I started surfing the Net last Saturday night, She was at the Ritz hotel, alive and happy. Then came that terrible news bulletin on the radio: Diana badly hurt in a car crash. So I immediately went to the Web for the latest information, hoping that she would survive.

When I shut down my computer, eyes cried out, She had gone.

You know, I'm 48 years old, I've seen her mature from the day of her wedding and I'm telling you, I loved that Lady.

We all did.

Rest in Peace, Sweetheart!

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to all families concerned.

Children of all ages have lost their Princess. She stood up for and beside them no matter their need, no matter their race, no matter their country.

Thank you Princess Diana.


I was born in 1965. I do not think there has been a ever been a figure that has been so utterly adored world-wide as Diana is. In the wake of her passing, many people older than I am have tried to explain that the entire world felt the same way at the death of John F. Kennedy.

But I don't think this is completely accurate, because according to my reading, at the time of his passing, in some parts of the world, Kennedy had enemies.

Diana had none.

Having lost my own mother to cancer two years ago, I can only hope that their Royal Highnesses Princes William and Harry will find their own way to deal with their loss and get on with their lives. There is no right way to mourn, and I hope they don't let anybody tell them how to do this.

Burnt out magic, Though flowers still bloom. Walk lightly among them.

We of course never had the privilege to meet her, but felt that we knew her. We send all the best to her sons and family. Our hearts and prayers are with them.

Diana enchanted Brazilian heart. She was also our queen. No words can express our feelings.

It's so sad, so tragic, so unbelievable. It should have never happened. I hope it makes people and the press turn around to give celebrities their privacy. The sons are the other victims, their privacy should be respected, their mothers tragedy not repeated.

Michaela, Austria


I grieve with the whole world in the loss of a great human being. She is indeed the "Queen of Hearts" who will be remembered by her unselfish devotion to the poor, needy and sick.

My heart goes out to her two sons whom she loved dearly. My prayers go to you, Princess and to your two boys, Princes William and Harry
