Paul Burrell spent 21 years working for the British Royal Family. In 1987, he became butler to the Prince and Princess of Wales at Highgrove, their country estate. When the couple separated in 1992, he moved to Kensington Palace to serve as butler to the late Princess of Wales and held that...

Close up of her wedding rings and a turquoise ring she wore often. She seemed to love turquoise.

I think this is the time to make a few key points about The Royal Forum moderators and administrators. These are people who give unstintingly of their own time to do their best to ensure all members and topics are treated respectfully. When I first joined--and to this day--I have questions...

I came across this article and hope you will enjoy its insights as much as I did. I thought it touching and also insightful at end when he mulls over succession--saying he's "not sure he would wish it on any of his sons." FEBRUARY 19 - 25, 1999 The King and I Lasting impressions from an...

Alia and Noor Resemblance Well, I'm trying....here is Queen Alia in 76/77; next photo will be Noor, then Lisa Halaby around the same timeframe.

In an interview with Katie Couric months after KH's death, she has behind her a photo of KH she said she kept with her always. It was on her bedside table in AM and PM and she spoke to it.....I didn't catch interview but saw blurry image. Does anyone know or have a photo of this particular...

There are no wrong answers here but I just went through an excellent book with many photos. Am I the only one who thought her wedding dress--while often criticized--fit the time, the place and the young woman? I thought it highly romantic. When she emerged from the wedding, she was--to me at...

As someone who has always loved learning about Princess Diana, I want to know more about what she liked, what she couldn't abide. My list so far: Likes: Her children (loves not likes), America, Jimmy Choo shoes (her "tart trotters" she called them for their height), Goutal perfume, pearls...

Go to Team Harmony site and the bold quote from Alia to Haya chosen by Haya: I ASKED HER MANY TIMES: "MAMA HOW TO BECOME QUEEN? CAN I BECOME A QUEEN LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP?" SHE WOULD LAUGH, "YOU AREA A QUEEN TO YOUR FATHER AND TO ME, AND ONE DAY YOU WILL BE A QUEEN TO THE MAN YOU LOVE, AND...

Before I realized how this worked, I posted this in wrong area; sorry for the duplication. How many of you believe Peter Settleton, the out of work actor who coached and taped Diana--1 set already shown on NBC I think--will sell the rest and how many believe he will "treat them as his personal...

I have read more books and seen more tapes than I ever thought I would on Diana. She was not entirely credible during her lifetime but Morton's new book says Burrell was on his way out and looking at a posiition with Trump. Burrell's book says they were as close as ever tho he didn't care for...

I read so little about their relationship except for Noor saying in her book she tried to be sensitive and include ex-es and children in activities and events. Muna strikes me as a kind woman who gracefully endured what must have been a shock--the end of her marriage when KH meet Alia. Since...

We talk a lot about QN vs QR and other rumored troubles and jealousies between the adults. With all of that going on, how do the 12 children of King Hussein get along? Princess Haya lent her tiara to Queen Rania so I saw that as a good sign. But other than that, I've read little about how the...

Everytime the anniversary of Princess Diana's death returns, I think about what would've happened if she had survived and recovered fully. Would she have moved to the US eventually? Would she have kept Harry from drinking and smoking? (Dodi was not going to be her husband--her friends say she...

The discussion about Queen Alia raised this question in my mind. King Hussein built a beautiful tomb/mausoleum for her but he was buried elsewhere. Is there a separation in death so spouses are not buried side by side? I would be interested in a response from someone from the area in terms of...

Queen Noor has rented a home on the Potomac and spends a lot of time there. Part of the reason she has spent so much time in the US is because her father was in very poor health and she wanted to be near him. Now that he has died, she seems to be traveling a lot on behalf of charities and her...
