It’s been 10 years since her death and yet Diana, Princess of Wales, still remains the queen of people’s hearts. A new BBC News article asks the question, ‘Did Diana’s death change us?’
Do you think it has? What did Diana mean to you? Share your thoughts.
overlooked is the cause of the death… the american citizens’ appetite for those supermarket check-out rack, trash publications.
at the death i sent a letter to the times of london apologizing for the americans’ lust for trash publications that finances those photographer scum.

An exciting new exhibit, aptly named, “Royalty…Triumphs and Tragedies “opens February 9th 2008 at the St. Petersburg Museum of History and will conclude September 2008. This is a living exhibit, in that the vast collection of memorabilia is constantly rotated to ensure the visitor has something new to see each visit.
This spectacular event will host artifacts from a variety of Royals including Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen Mother, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (King Edward VIII and Mrs. Wallace Simpson), Prince Charles, The Princess Royal and other relevant royals.
The exhibit will give the “Diana” fan another chance to see a collection of her dresses from the Christies Auction and “Pink Ribbons Crusade” a not for profit charity for breast cancer, which will include some dresses never before seen on the public circuit.
For the first time, the exhibit will feature a collection of dresses from the “American Princess” her Serene Highness, Grace of Monaco., kindly loaned by Suzanne and Jess King of Austin, TX. To mark the 25th anniversary of her death, this stunning collection will include gowns and dresses that punctuated her life before her untimely death in 1982.
The St. Petersburg History museum is proud to host this magnificent event and cordially invites you to sponsor this exhibit that is certain to attract a magnitude of people from all walks of life. Various sponsorship levels are available. While every penny helps we do hope you will donate generously. (please see attached for our sponsorship levels.)
Numerous fund raising events will be evident as the exhibit progresses such as sumptuous “High Tea “ and a personal glimpse into the life of the royals by Princess Diana’s personal chef Darren McGrady, who has written a bestselling cook book “Eating Royally” of which all proceeds go to pediatric Aids and breast cancer. Limited edition royal memorabilia will be on sale in the museum’s gift shop.
The proceeds of this event will go to the St. Petersburg Museum of History owned and operated by the St. Petersburg Historical society (a non for profit charity) funded by local donations and admission fees and Hospice of the Florida Suncoast (a nonprofit charity). All proceeds will be used locally for breast cancer patients and their families. The exhibit curator Audrey Fournier is a long time volunteer with the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast and the Pink Ribbons Crusade. Gloria Bussey, Margaret Rogers-Kline and other Pink Ribbons and Hospice volunteers assembled this exhibit.
Admission charges are $12.00 for adults, $9.00 for seniors and $7.00 for children (7-17). Free of charge for children under age 6.
The St. Petersburg Museum of History and the patients and their families from the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast in St. Petersburg thank you for your support.
