Nothing bothers Diana now. :love: Harry cashing in on their mothers memory infuriates William though, which is another reason why the brothers are still estranged.

Why are they not the 'obamas'... surely by the same principle they are cashing In on old titles to spread some kind of awareness?
He is by birth a prince ... he's given up his birthright.

He will never stop benefitting, he is a royal, strip him of everything and he will still be a Winsor?

the crown has adapted the historical facts to make it a bit more entertaining, but the facts are there as anchors that can't be avoided. If we go back to the point where Diana died, the queen had to be told to fly the flag at half mast, she had no empathy toward the British public. Indeed, it was that point forward that I lost all respect for the royal family.

There is a difference in speaking about her and making money from her memory.

No, I did watch the Crown but I didn't take that as gospel, anything that did peak my curiosity after I watched I checked to see how true it was. Dianas own words said that the Queen was very cold with her after the troubles in her marriage showed and that she blamed Diana for those issues, she told her that her marriage was falling a part because of her Bulimia

"Diana says the Queen eventually considered her to be “a threat”
Despite early warmth from Queen Elizabeth, Diana said that their relationship soured when her and Charles’s marriage began to deteriorate. “I long to get inside her mind and talk to her and I will. I’ve always said to her: ‘I’ll never let you down but I cannot say the same for your son.’ She took it quite well,” Diana recalled. “She indicated to me that the reason why our marriage had gone downhill was because Prince Charles was having such a difficult time with my bulimia. She told me that.” This made Diana realize that the royal family thought she was the sole “cause of the marriage problems, and not one of the symptoms.”

That is just your view on it though, it doesn't make it true. He's allowed speak about his dead mother

No he isn’t! How dare he speak of the mother he lost at such a young age!

It's not just my view. He was paid a wad of money to speak to a gathering of big bankers about her and his mental health in the US.
He is accepting big bucks from Netflix who are misrepresenting his own family, no matter how dysfunctional some of them may be, they ARE his family.

We really enjoyed it though.

I mean another way to look at it is that maybe now because of his own deteriorated relationship with the royal family he understands his mother a bit more and what she might have went through, being on the other side now like she was, he was only a child when she died, he wouldn't really have understood that properly back then

Others may think that's perfectly fine. No problem. :shrug:
