Princess Diana Memorial

I was in London two Saturdays ago to run some errands (i.e. teapot for Marcy she spotted on her trip over) and realized it was the 10-year anniversary of Princess Diana's death. I remember being in Okoboji, Iowa at the bar with Paul and Melinda watching the horrible news unfold on a TV there. Then I was in London and Paris a few months later for a J-term, and visited both Kensington Palace and the tunnel in Paris where she crashed. So many memorials, flowers, poems, pictures, letters, etc., where placed in both locations.

Well I visited Kensington Palace again to see what type of memorial they had this time. The Palace is doing a special 6-month exhibit on her life inside for a tour. Outside on the gates, there again are flowers, pictures, letters, etc., from people all around the world. By no means is it even close to the amount as 10 years ago, but still powerful.

The royal family is so closely watched and so loved here. It's really interesting to read about what life is like for the princes and now with Charles remarried to Camilla. Such drama I tell you!
