This week we have all seen the most eerie footage it's possible to see. The last hours of Princess Diana's life. For the first time in a decade, we have seen new, fresh and unseen moving footage of the late Princess and I found it upsetting and very sad. It made me realise what we have all been missing.
Footage of a smiling Princess in a lift with Dodi, moving from hotel to private Imperial Suite, Diana teasing Dodi by wagging her finger, Dodi and Diana cuddeling up together holding hands while they waited for the fateful limosuine to take them to Dodi's apartment, just mesmerised me.
It's hard to 'get' and hard to accept that it's been a decade since we lost Diana and this new footage made it feel as though it had only been filmed yesterday. And by god, how much do I miss her? Words can't discribe. I've not agreed with Diana's decisions on occasion, or the way she manipulated the media for her own means, but I still miss her.
So, I dont really know if this new footage is a blessing or a curse. It's good to see how happy she was in the final hours, but also sad to realise what we have missed out on. This inquest has opened up a whole new can of worms for me, and not just about how she died.
I do miss the Princess. I just hope this inquest can lay some of the gossip and innuendo to rest. Diana deserves that.
Then perhaps, we can get on and remember Diana for the wonderful, smiling woman she was.
