Diana Didn't Trust The Right People Says Elton John

In an interview for music channel, VH1, Elton John claimed Diana didn't 'trust the right people' and was 'airy fairy' with her real friends towards the end of her life.

The musician, who is magically put next to friends Princess Diana and John Lennon for his in depth and candid interview on VH1 is seen visibly upset when watching himself perform Candle In The Wind at the Princess's funeral in Westminster Abbey on the 6th September 1997.

His observations that the Princess trusted the wrong people, I feel, are entirely correct. Apart from two loyal and trusted friend's, Rosa Monckton and Lucia Flecha De Lima towards the end of her life, Diana seemed to ditch the friends she had known for her entire life, or her time as Princess of Wales for celebrity friends, such as Micheal Barrymore and George Michael

It's interesting to note that friends such as Rosa and Lucia have not sold out. Yet people like Michael Barrymore have talked about his friendship with Diana, George Michael has claimed Diana wanted to sleep with him and Bryan Adams have also hinted they were lovers and that he wrote about her in a song.

That said though, even Diana's 'normal' friends have sold out on the Princess, the two worse offenders in my mind being Paul Burrell and Simone Simmons. Ms Simmons who wrote two tomes on Diana was proven to be a liar by James Whittaker on UK daytime TV show, 'This Morning' and Paul Burrell also has been proved a liar when he admitted in a candid video that he had lied and laid down 'red herrings' while being questioned at the Diana inquiry this year.

So although I agree with Elton John that Diana trusted the wrong people, I also think it was hard for her to know who to trust and her distrust of certain people proved right. She must of felt at times as though she was stuck in a maze not knowing the right way to get out of circumstances.

Everyone from Diana's beautician to dress designers, from hairdressers to holistic healers have had something to say about Diana, 99% of it I suspect as not true as all these people have put themselves in a position where Diana's life would of been empty and worthless without them. It's funny though, how none of these people dared speak out while Diana was still alive , I suspect in case they worried about falling out of favour with Diana. Most of them waited till after Diana had died to sell their stories, be it on television or in print.

So, for once, I agree with Elton John. He words are very true.
