Rosa Monckton and Lucia Flecha De Lima: Diana's Loyal Warriors

Was Diana pregnant when she died? Did she have contraceptive pills in her luggage? Was she planning to marry Dodi Fayed? Was it a summer fling or real love?

These are some of the questions that are being pondered on during the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

In the midst of this very public event, two women stand tall. In life, these women were the real 'rocks' in Diana's life. They supported her, gave her a shoulder to cry on, told her off when she was unreasonable, gave her sanctuary when the press were hounding her. Spent time with her on holidays, and gave her the real family life she has missed. In documentaries they defended her, and were her champion, speaking out and telling the truth as they saw it.

I take my hat off to Rosa Monckton and Lucia Flecha De Lima. For I believe these two women speak the truth, and I'm very appreciative of the fact that they are willing to stand up and tell the truth when Mohammed Al Fayed continues to spout vicious lies about Diana and her place in his life. When both of them say that there was no way Diana could of been pregnant, I will believe them over Fayed every time. When they say she would not of married Dodi and was just having a steamy summer fling, I believe them.

These were two women who were not afraid to stand up against Diana and all her charactericial flaws. They told her things she did not want to hear, but, their loyal, honest and dedicated friendship meant that these two women were not booted out of her circle like Sarah Ferguson and Penny Thornton before her, for Diana surely knew that her world would be terribly lonely without the two women who were like mother figures to her.

Now I see Rosa and Lucia as Diana's warriors, bravely fighting against the Fayed publicity machine to get across to the public the truth about Diana's final months on earth.

I'm sure wherever Diana is and whatever tasks she has been given, she must surely look down on Rosa and Lucia with pride, thankfulness and love. For these two women will fight and fight hard to get the truth out.

And I, for one, can only thank them.
