HOWEVER, our only trip to the UK thus far just happened to be when the Diana fountain was dedicated. being in London anyway, we decided to go, and saw nearly the entire family. American girls were SCREAMING at the boys like rock stars, and i thought, "they are here to honor their dead mother. ever heard of class, or just plain decency?"

In 1992, the Prince of Wales was at another engagement and his wife went to the Taj Mahal. I am unsure if I am able to post a photo but if one searches the Getty Images of the 1992 visit to the Taj by Diana, Princess of Wales there is a photo which shows the incredible set up of this 'media event.' She walks yards a head of the entourage that accompanied her. In contrast to the photo you have posted with the Prince of Wales in the company of his entourage. Putting the two photos side by side speaks volumes as to the intent of each persons visit.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902545914497080245noreply@blogger.com
