Your Thoughts


Nothing less than a full state funeral for this English Rose would be befitting. I hope that as heads of the Anglican faith, the Royals will forgive and forget all of the past animosity, after all she provided us with a legacy in her sons and everlasting memories for the whole world. Life has no room for continued animosity or envy. The whole world adored her and long may her memory 'reign' as the revered Princess of Hearts. We will watch attentatively at the way in which she is now treated.

It is with great shock and sorrow we absorb the untimely passing away of the queen of hearts. She will remain immortal in the minds of the millions of people she has touched world over. Princess we will never forget you.

We mourn the tragic passing of an icon of humanity. Always and eternally loved.

Thank you for all the tremendous work you did in breaking down barriers for so many good causes - you truly epitomise compassion - I am sure you will find peace wherever you may now be. I am so sorry and so sad - I think everybody feels slightly guilty - we all have blood on our hands, but trust that you will not take it personally - we just wanted to be part of you. May the Gods bless you and point your children on the right path to righteousness.
People all over the world are grieving the death of Princess Diana, including the people here in Pakistan. We are going to the British Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, to pay our respects to the Queen of Hearts. Everybody has been affected by the death of this irreplacable human being and we hope that she rests in peace.

From people that care


We are a group of admirers of the Princess of Wales. The sudden death of the princess has created a void in the international arena which can never be filled. Our hearts go out to Prince William and Prince Harry and may God give them the courage to accept this loss. Lady Diana !! You still remain the Princess of Wales and a Queen in our hearts.
Princess Diana was truly admired and loved by everybody on this planet for her kindness,compasion and care of all human beings. She was truly Queen of Hearts. We will always remember her in our hearts. Her loss is devastating and tragic. May God rest her soul in peace; peace that she never found during her life.
I'm not sure how to express myself at this moment. I'm very much shocked and bewildered at the news of Princess Diana's death. I have an empty space inside me. I am very sad for Prince William and Prince Harry; my thoughts and condolence go out to them and the rest of Diana's family. I wish I could take your pain away. God Bless you all; you are in my prayers.

Just extending our condolences to the Royal Family and to the families of the other victims of the crash.

Bright, sparkling, human, kind, thoughtful, patient and many many more personal traits that you can't begin to list them all. What void there will be without your bubbly personality around. We have lost the best Queen we never had. Our heartfelt wishes to your two boys and our hope that at last you will have found happiness where you are now. With fondest love

The world has lost one of the most special people! Diana was truly one of God's heavenly creations!! I don't think a single human being has EVER touched the world in the way that Diana touched the hearts of millions of people. My heartfelt sympathy goes to her family and especially her children who will now grow up without the love of a wonderful mother. Never has the world been so devastated and Diana's memory will stay in our hearts forever.

In a small village in the hills of Northern Italy my family and I were able to follow the BBC World News thanks to satellite TV. We watched all day on Sunday ever since my sister Patricia came up to awake me with this terrible news. We were in a daze. It was devastating. Your coverage was excellent and the fact that reports went on all day made me feel closer to England (where we used to live and where my sister and I grew up). This was extremely comforting. Thank you so much. In fact when I returned to my own house in the city where I do not have satellite, I felt extremely frustrated at the Italian news bulletins that were far too short and synthetic. I would also like to say that we are heartbroken for the boys (because, although they are princes, they are just boys) because Diana was like a warm breeze. She hugged and kissed them. She was openly loving. I can't imagine the Prince of Wales or anyone else of the family doing this. I hope I am wrong.

We are very sad in Japan too. The world lost great person. We never forget you.
It has been a very sad few days.
We will all feel like this for a long time.
She will be remembered for all the joy she put in the world.
She will never be forgotten.
Condolences to her boys and family.

To the free spirit of Diana
I did not meet you but it looks like I knew you for along long time, and I do believe in something I already felt it before when I lost my father: only the good die young.

Without realizing it Diana had become a honourable and glowing role model for me. From the time I watched her wedding to her tragic and needless death - I have looked up to her. She was an intelligent, compassionate and beautiful person. There are very few female images in the media for whom I can attribute true respect - however, Diana was one of them - I will miss her strength.

Jennifer Wilson, 27 years old, Vancouver, Canada


She's such a wonderful person, very unique and charming. She is my inspiration to live to the fullest even though she's sad throughout her life but always put a happy smile. I adore her very much and I'll pray for her happiness in the next life..May God Bless You...

Rozita, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia


We were all saddened by the tragic death of Diana. We personally would like to send our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Diana and she would be greatly missed by us and everyone around the globe. Diana, may god bless you for the many good deeds you have done to the people.

Things are changing but the kindness and charity heart of Princess Diana will be remembered and appreciated forever!

Moneta Chon, Hong Kong


Thank you for what you meant to a lot of people around the world. You were a wonderful human being. We will mourn you, but also remember you with love and laughter. You brought joy, happiness and hope to so many. Thank you for for being YOU. Rest in peace.

On Sunday whilst out fishing we heard on the radio that Princess Diana had been injured in a car accident. We kept listening with great interest to the news flashes...then came the devastating news that the Princess had died from serious injuries received. In horror and disbelief we looked across at each other absolutely stunned. Returning home with a heavy cloud hanging over us we hugged each other and wept for Diana and her family. Even though we had never personally met Princess Diana it was as though we had lost someone very close and dear to us and there seemed to be a big void in our lives. It is strange...but true. Our love and sincerest condolences to all of the families who are suffering the loss of loved ones killed in the accident, most especially to Prince William and Prince Harry, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, Prince Charles and other members of the Royal family, and the Spencer family. Another young life wasted. Rest in peace Diana.

Helen and Colin Muir-Richardson and family, Perth, Western Australia


Will you please send my condolences especially to Princes Willam and Harry. I feel we are all orphans now.
She will always be in our hearts, you still here with us,

Yousef H Al-azmi, KUWAIT


Princess Diana is hardly one to make any interest on Asia but in spite of this we feel we too have lost someone dearly. Her works and pronouncements on issues as AIDS, lepers, underpriviledged, landmines and her concern for the depressed and poor built up an icon of her in our hearts. There to stay as a guiding light that someone sometime was with us.
This is a deepest regret and condolence on a great loss of Princess Diana from Akhter in Karachi Pakistan. I wish her soul rest in peace.

Akhter Zaman Khan


In this saddened event I think people around the world should have an international holiday once in a year to remember the greatest princess to ever live in history, Princess Diana. But in people's hearts she will be remembered in every single day. She was so great and no one can replace her for sure for the humanitarian things she has done. I am so sad. Why does she have to go so early?

F. Murray, New Zealand
