Lady Pamela Hicks, first cousin to Prince Philip and a member of Queen Elizabeth II 's 1947 bridal party explains why she was never fond of Prince Charles' first wife.
"She had enormous charisma, she was beautiful, she was very good at empathy with the general crowd but she had no feeling at all for her husband or his family," Pamela snipes of Diana. "Quite the reverse!"
According to Pamela, Diana was "really spiteful" and "really unkind" to Charles during their 15-year union. "My God, he's a man who needs support and encouragement," the 84-year-old says of Charles, who went on to marry Camilla Parker Bowles in the spring of 2005.
Pamela also claims Charles' marriage to Diana "destroyed" him. "He looked grey and ghost-like. Now of course he's blossomed again."
The British aristocrat—whose own fashion designer daughter, India Hicks, served as one of Diana's bridesmaids—believes the late princess reveled in the public's pity. "She made everybody believe she'd been thrown to the wolves. Such nonsense! She was given the Queen's favorite lady-in-waiting, Sue Hussey, to help her, to teach her. But she didn't want to be told anything. 'That's boring, Sue,' she'd say. Instead, she wanted to listen to her music and go disco-ing or to some jive concert." She didn't try. She had no need to try because she saw the people admired her, then they admired her more. She reckoned she was the star." (1)
How nice, An 84-year-old woman tearing down someone that's been dead for sixteen years.
I always identified with Prince Charles. He was born six weeks before me and we have the same name. There must be something else we have in common? Oh, we're both male. It's upsetting to hear about his "grey and ghost-like" appearance when he was "destroyed" by Diana. I'm so glad he has "blossomed" again. He is such a handsome man.
"Diana was given the Queen's favorite lady-in-waiting, to help her, to teach her." I must have missed the news about slavery in England.
There is something very wrong about saying "disco-ing" and some "jive concert" when talking about a princess. And an 84-year-old aristocrat should not use the word reckoned.
Boogie down, Diana.
The two kids must have elephant hide for skin. This shit has got to bother them.
The Siskiyou county Board of Supervisors are meeting to discuss the possibility of seceding from California. Siskiyoy is located just below the Oregon border. Many of it's citizens think they have little in common with the power brokers of L.A., San Francisco, and Sacramento. If allowed to form the 51st. state they will call it, Jefferson.
Why not Clyde? Or Ottis?
One Supervisor explained her reasons for wanting out as the "Five R's." Regulation (way too much of it), Restrictions on rights (Second Amendment challenges), Representation (too large of a state and un-elected officials), Regionalism (zoning and in-planning taken away from local government), and Restoration of limited government.
Somehow I missed this: Last month California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a groundbreaking bill which will allow transgender youth to use whatever bathroom and participate on whichever sports team they believe matches their gender identity.
Although Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington and Colorado have adopted policies designed to protect transgender students, California becomes the first state to address the issue with a statewide law.
It's too bad we need to pass a law to protect these kids. They should be allowed to feel good about themselves whatever their disposition. I'm just sayin' is all. Apparently way up north in Siskyiou they feel different.
A Supervisor citing the transgender bathroom bill as an example "Are these guys nuts down there? What are they thinking when they are going to expose our children and grandchildren to something that is foreign to the rest of us, but something like that can come through, and they tout it as legislation."
I wonder how far away Siskiyo wants to go?
Ya gotta love California.....in other state news.
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera is demanding Nevada reimburse California cities and counties for treatment of about 500 indigent psychiatric patients he says have been sent here over the years. The care and treatment of twenty recent patients cost the city close to $500,000.
There is also a federal civil rights suit filed by James Flavey Coy Brown in Nevada, who alleges the state put him on a one-way bus to northern California after discharging him from a treatment facility. He's seeking class-action for as many as 1,500 others.
In the future Nevada should think about buses to Siskeyou....sorry, Jefferson, California. It's much closer.
California is returning part of the favor. Lots of smoke from the Yosemite fire is blowing into Nevada.
This just out: Playing video games may be good for seniors. Those of us "old farts" that play video games show a marked improvement in hand and eye coordination and brain processing speed.
When asked about seniors playing games, The No-Violence-In-Video-Games-Coalition, or NVIVGC, was not concerned. "What are they going to do after a few hours of Angry Birds or Candy Crush, fall asleep?"
I'm thinking of getting out my Legend of Zelda game.
See you Monday.
