Walking through Hyde Park the other day, I was stopped by a group of young Japanese tourists who asked where the Diana memorial was.

I told them they’d just passed it — the ‘fountain’ that looks like an industrial storm drain.

They were shocked at the lack of respect and that our ‘famous Princess’ should be honoured in such a way. Or rather, dishonoured.

And, indeed, so should we be. Diana died 15 years ago yesterday, and has since been all but written out of the script. And it has not been by accident. As the PR agent Mark Borkowski observed this week, the Firm has sidelined Diana as part of a slick rebranding exercise.

‘The emphasis is on the young Royals,’ he said. ‘Diana has been quietly airbrushed out.’

She was a lovely lady imo. It doesn't feel like 15 years has passed. I did notice there didn't seem to be much mentioned about her anniversary in the media yesterday. That said, probably the only reason I remember the date (31st August) is because it's also my late brother's birthday. I'm wondering how many people do remember Diana died on 31st August? unless like me you have a reason for bringing it to mind.

I'm not surprised she was snubbed out (or shall I say died in a car crash!)

Comparing a picture of James Hewitt (one of Dianas affairs) to a photo of Prince Harry is even more suspicious than comparing a picture of Peter Schemical to Rooneys son and thats say something lol

She had it coming to her and she doesnt deserve the poor monument she has now.

Have you ever won any awards for being a nice person, Mr?

She'll be back in the history books, when William wears The Crown.

Wow! You're entitled to your opinion of course but how anyone can think she deserved to die is beyond me.... You sound very bitter.

[Antilles]

Diana had it coming to her? What planet are you from dude?

I'm amazed how little there has been about Diana. Yes, I agree, there appears to be an attempt to airbrush her out of history. I think Charlie boy would be so happy to have Camilla as Wills and Harry's Mummy and they could all be one big happy family.

Diana was the best thing that happened to that family and she will not be forgotten, for all the Windsors' attempts.

Yeah, I think you're right. Kate is wearing that engagement ring for a reason.

She is still lovely. I adore her.

These Japanse tourists should have instead visited Althorp estate to view the Princess Diana exhibit. Plenty of her dresses and other items on display. Although the exhibit has closed for the year there and is coming back to continue touring America. I want to visit one day. It will be sacred.

Yeah, and how many affairs did she have?

Here is James Hewitt - http://www.telegraph...fghanistan.html

Who's the daddy? Sure looks like Hewitt to me and I've watched enough Maury Show to now when something isnt right regardless of the official story. Cheating on the future King of England, getting pregnant off her lover and then finding a Eygptian boyfriend. If it was in the Middle Ages it would be off with her head never mind a nice concrete pillar in a French tunnel.

I think she was lovely as well. It makes me sad to think of her being figuratively brushed under the rug She died when I was rather young. I came to know who she was through my grandmother, who had always been fascinated with royal families and their history. When I'd watch her on tv as a little girl, I thought she was the most graceful lady I had ever seen.

She was a narcissist that craved attention.

Charles didnt give it to her so she went through affair after affair until she met her end. I highly suspect Harry isnt the son of Charles and following her Eygptian boyfriend no more could be tolerated.

I don't agree with Right Wing's views.... But I gotta say, it's pretty obvious who harry's real father is if you really look at the photo's. He even knows, it's probably why he rebels so much.

first of all, i wouldn't be bragging about watching maury and then expect to be taken seriously if i were you...but hey that's just me...
anyway,
i looked at that pic of hewitt and then a pic of harry. first of all the eyes are completely different, the mouth also is different. the only similarity i see is in the head shape and hair color.
then i look at a pic of prince charles oh yes there are those nasty close set eyes. the mouth and nose definitely diana.
so you see your jealous rant is not so clever,  mr 'right out in left field for a right winger'.
