Princess Beatrice: Beautiful of Bugeyed

Princess Beatrice's recent photographs of her at a fashion show, with hair in curlers are simply weird.

Some pundits have said she is beautiful. I dont think so. She has weired bug eyes that look like they are coming out on stalks and they kind of freak me out. She has a constant look of surprise on her face.

I'm sure she is a nice, gentle lady. A tv interview held last year showed her to have impeccable manners. So why doesn't she, instead of going to fashion shows and parties, create a royal role for herself. I'm sure she'd be a credit to the Royal family.

Perhaps Beatrice should listen to her grandmother more often then her mother. I think Fergie is giving her wrong advice. And all followers of the Royal Family know that she isn't so hot on decision making.....

Fergie is now a executive producer!

Sarah Ferguson can now, along with freeloader and fame junky, add film producer to her long list of 'talents'.

She is producing a film called ' Young Victoria' based on her research and two books regarding the early life of Queen Victoria. Her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, who shares a name with Queen Victoria's granddaughter, has a non speaking role in the film.

Honestly, Fergie, who treats her daughters like they were her 'bestest friends' seems to care more about pushing Beatrice into a life of fashion (Beatrice recently modelled on the catwalk) and fame rather then following her education and perhaps forging a royal role for herself. Where is ex-husband Prince Andrew on this? Unless of course he is 100% happy with the way Fergie is bringing up their daughters.

Princess Deluded

Princess Beatrice, it's been reported, has claimed that she is becoming a style icon!

What with her high heeled shoes with ankle straps that make her look like a hooker turning tricks, dresses that are slashed to the naval showing off ample clevage, hats that look like a satelite dish cum birds nest, and clothes that are two sizes too small all I can say is...................YEAH RIGHT!

Is Prince Harry An Indication Of The New Generation Of Royals

Today's controversial stories of Prince Harry swearing and threatening reporters is, in my opinion, too far a common occurrence for my liking or comfort.

Harry is the young generation of Royals where the essence of duty, which has spurred his grandmother on through so many personal trials and tribulations and public embarrassment, is missing. It concerns me that Harry is quick to accept the privilege that his position gives him, yet will not take the responsibility that goes with such the privilege.

If you think back to the heady 'Lady Di' days, and then the sheer harassment his mother had to deal with on a day in and day out basis, particularly in the few years before her death, when she was called the most appalling names so she would cry, I do wonder why Harry has such a problem with dealing with the press interest when it's nowhere near as intrusive as what his mother had to put up with in her royal life.

Instead of swearing at reports and making it clear he could 'take them on' wouldn't it be better if he had turned a deaf ear on the remarks that were made and just ushered Chelsy to their car, got in himself and driven off. I am sure, in retrospect, he wishes that is what he had done, rather then challenge the media. If Harry is going to deal with the press interest with aggression time and time again, then he won't be a healthy or happy man.

Obviously, if the press were abusing his girlfriend verbally Harry has a right to be upset but he cannot keep playing up to the media and giving them exactly what they want. And also, Chelsy, if she intends to stay with her Prince, she will also have to get used to the media and the dirty tricks they use to get a reaction, and therefore a more interesting picture.

I don't believe Harry should become a hermit, but is there no places he could go, such as friends houses or trusted venues where he would not be followed like he was on Friday night?

To be honest, I think Diana would be horrified by Harry's reaction to reporters, and if she were alive today I'm sure she would of dragged Harry over the coals for his behaviour. He really does need to accept the media is the downside to the life he lives. What normal 23 year old has the chance to go on luxurious holidays, wears the best clothes and will never have to worry about where his next meal is coming from? Instead of playing the angry victim, Harry should appreciate that. Yes, his girlfriend was being teased by reporters but how many youngsters who are homeless, out of work or are in dire financial straits would be happy to have Harry's problems?

Harry In Trouble Again

After last weeks impressive speech at the memorial for his mother, Prince Harry moved up a thousand degrees in my estimation, and now, it's taken one single act of yobbery that has sunk him back down in the doldrums in my opinion.

His girlfriend, Chelsy Davy was spotted storming out of a flat and Harry was photographed chasing after her calling out her name. Then he turned on the paparazzi and shouted 'I'm going to punch you in the f*****g face' before trying to cause a ruckus between him and another photographer.

What on earth is wrong with this boy. Every time he steps up and shows signs of maturity and respect and decorum he does something to shoot himself down again. I'm very disappointed. The man seen yelling obscenity's on the street is a thousand miles away from the poised, dignified man standing at the pulpit in the Guards Chapel, talking of his love for his mother on August 31st this year.

Diana would of been proud of that smart man, emoting about his mother in a way that Royals' don't tend to do. She would of been less proud of the scruffy, drunk looking yob, who mouthed obscenities and threatend to pick fights with photographers.

And what with his being late to pick up Chelsy from the airport, and the fact she stormed out of a friends flat without Harry, causing him to chase after her in the street smacks of trouble in the relationship to me.

Harry ought to sort himself out. He is a young man full of potential, he and he alone could be a great support to William when he carries the heavy burden of being King. Instead he is at great risk of morphing into the sorts of young thugs and ruffians that get drunk and destroy town centres and basically shame the whole country.

Sort it out Harry. Your disappointing the very people who keep you in the style your accustomed too.

Is Mohammed Al Fayed the only person who is stopping Diana resting in peace?

During the heady and controversial days of Charles and Diana's public marital breakup, a lot of criticism, quite rightly, was levelled at Prince Charles. He was accused, again rightly, of making Diana's life a misery and causing her stress that she could not physicaly cope with or emotionaly come to terms with.

However, in her death, there is one person who is stopping her rest in peace, and that is the man who is claiming to the public that he is, in fact, keeping her memory alive.

Mohammed Al Fayed, personal friend to both Diana and her late father, Earl Spencer, and owner of Harrods among other things lost a son with Diana in the fateful car crash. Dodi Fayed, film producer, professional jet setter and drug taker, was Diana's last squeeze during the heady months of June, July and August 1997. He died instantly in the car crash that also claimed the life of driver, Henri Paul and later on that night, the life of Diana, Princess of Wales and one of the most famous women in the world.

Since that night, he has insisted that their deaths were no ordinary road accident, and that someone was behind the plot to 'murder' the couple, simply because the establishment, namely HM The Queen and Prince Phillip would not allow Diana to marry a Muslim. Day after day he has continued to campaing against the Royal Family insisting that Diana was to wed Dodi and was pregnant with his child, thus propelling the Queen and Phillip to dream up a plot to kill the pair.

Now, he is trying to bring the infamous Squidgygate tapes into the inquest. Why? I dont know as I can't find any connection between a immature, childish phone call that the Princess had with a friend, James Gilby in 1989 to the events of nearly a decade later.

It seems to me that Mr Fayed is deluded in his grief and cannot accept that his son, and the Princess, and in fact the dream of their supposed engagement has died. I do hope he finds it within himself to move on. He surely cannot be living a full live when he sees conspiracy and plots in every dark corner. I do rather pity him. It seems he is surrounded by 'yes' people who agree with every demand he makes. Where is his wife? Can't she help him figure it all out and move on with his life.

In his own way, rather then making Diana's memory live on, he is dragging it through the mud. With tacky memorials and blantant twisting of the truth he is making her and his own son a laughing stock.

Please, Mr Fayed, let your son and Diana rest in peace. Move on with your life and remember Dodi and Diana as they would of wanted to be remembered. Follow Prince Harry's sentiments as stated in his memorial speech. Remember Diana as she would of wanted. Don't sully her memory and reputation with tawdy accusations of pregnancy out of wedlock and naff memorials.

Your are not doing her memory any good. In fact, the way you speak about some of those who were in her life a lot longer then yourself, she maybe ashamed of you.

Ten Years On: Our Final Goodbye

Ten years ago, on a sunny September morning, the world said it's final goodbye to Diana, Princess of Wales.

In Westminster Abbey, the People's Princess, was given a regal farewell in a state funeral, the guests included charity workers, entertainment stars and politicians, as well as family and close friends. The world applauded Earl Spencers speech and quietly wept to Elton John's revised song, 'Candle In The Wind '97, which later went on to be marked as the worlds biggest selling single since Live Aids 'Do They Know It's Christmas'.

After the pomp and cirumstance, the Princess was laid to rest on a island in the Oval Lake at the Spencer family estate, Althorp, which lies deep in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside. The last we saw of our Princess was when the hearse carrying her coffin slowly made it's way through the main gates and up through the estate.

It was a sad day, but a fitting funeral for a woman the world loved.

I hope Diana is now resting in peace and enjoying some happiness that was not forthcoming in her life.
