    Considering that Diana was in her early 20s dealing with all these expectations and pressures, it's amazing that she withstood it, and with such composure, grace and kindness. A true testament to her rare quality
  • @jaxl1931
    I can't understand why Charles couldn't love her. Even her voice is so pleasant I could listen to her talk all day
  • @lucynjeri1980
    At 24 and she is full of wisdom and integrity of how she answers.
  • @leafuller3153
    Every time I see her in an interview like this , it makes me so sad about what might have been ! Her death should never have happened.
  • @albertcolton5242
    Diana was raised in a high class family it shows in her great poise and manners
  • Diana was a complete and utter natural when around people,her easy empathy and the way she centres others rather than herself when talking to them is so beautiful to watch
  • @mqk1697
    So many things stood out to me: 1. I loved the way she spoke so knowledgeably about her children, their personalities and behaviour. She was truly a very hands on, attentive parent 2. Diana seems so much at ease talking to people in the hospice than her own husband
  • Can you believe that Princess Diana is in her early 20s here!?? When I was in my early 20s I was still trying to figure out my life lol here she’s a mother and a wife taking on all these major duties. Wow just wow 😮❤️
  • @BiodanzaMalta
    This is an early interview...you can see how innocent and well meaning she is. What a journey her life was... phenomenal.
  • @shawna9536
    Wow she was absolutely amazing, even at such a young age. What a loss - she would have been an amazing queen
  • @pdias8469
    She is articulate and her words are full of love and compassion and wise. You can see how much she loves her husband. Her light shines far and wide. Watching her now makes me realise that she is truly the queen of hearts.
  • What happened, Charles? You were standing up for your wife so beautifully like a loving husband would. Again, I wish you would have honored that.
  • @bente1881
    He is using a lot of words to say nearly nothing, while she is spot on.
  • @hunkhk
    gosh Diana is totally captivating and utterly charming - Queen of Hearts for ever - if only she was still around
  • @lenayo5039
    Diana has such a beautiful glimmer in her gentle eyes
  • @cherub112361
    I wish they had been able to stay together and work things out. They complement each other really well, and they could have been a force to be reckoned with.

    Interviewer: what is you job? Him: I don’t know 😅
