Refresh our memory, please. What was the nature of those conversations?
The British people were very taken with Diana - she was modern, forward, refreshingly different.
Her openess gave us all a very rare insight into the Clique of the Royal Family.
The slow growing animosity toward the Monachy, I believe started or grew from the time of her divorce from Charles.
Diana was stripped of her all titles and this caused a big furor among the British people..
At the time of her death, the British people feeling the way they did about her, were overwhelmed with shock and grief.
The Royal Family seemed unperturbed.
The people waited, and waited for the Flag over Buckingham Palace to be brought to half mast - this never happened.
And so the peoples feelings grew stronger.
Then the announcement that Diana would not be given a full ceremonial funeral.
Disbelief started to turn to anger amongst the people.
I think it took about a week before the Royal Family broke off their holiday to actually come to London.
This was very nearly the straw that broke the Monarchy.
Tony Blair, somehow managed to persuade HM to relent and so the Royal Family traveled to London, the flag was brought to half mast and a semi-ceremonial funeral took place.
(Full state Ceremony would have included a lying in State of the Princess)
