New Princess Di book revisits secrets of her – Latest News
Doors throne open to Di previous
The book is “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.” Penguin Press. Author: Eton-educated journalist Charles Spencer, a ok a ninth Earl Spencer, whom I do know and who misplaced his adored sister Princess Diana in August 1997.
A duplicate was delivered to me earlier than he crossed the ocean to fulfill each US reporter this facet of Guam.
It explains her future king husband hissed, and right here’s his Page 121 quote, “We’ll forget her soon enough.”
Page 128: “Diana was made to feel as if she was stupid.”
Chapter 22’s “A Permanent Quest to Bring Her Down” states, “I used to fear that a terrible accident could take place.”
Spencer’s quote: “I always believed she’d be killed in the end. It was only a matter of time.”
Buckingham Palace didn’t favor her. And her husband was “extremely jealous of Diana’s star power,” Spencer writes.
As for the evening it occurred, its how/what/why/who is rarely reported on. Only how “the Queen looked smart and composed in a black dress for the funeral.” Only how “the Queen was seen in the streets outside the royal palaces thanking people for their kind condolences.”
And then — it was throughout. Done. Yesterday’s information. Happened 30 years in the past.
In at this time’s world, with telephones and TV, there’s 24-hour dish. A wacko zaps a homeless individual in a subway? Big daring newspaper headlines. Photos. Reminiscences from pals. Chat exhibits no one’s heard of discussing the story. Princess Di gone? Social media and AI will inform each element.
Accident? Skilled driver? Royalty? In public? And no one is aware of nothing?
Would appear any person is aware of one thing. But no one says something. We have podcasts, radio, newspapers, marchers schlepping placards, airplane skywriters, grocery store advertisements, devotees, chewing gum wrappers, T-shirts — and never one single physique reporting what may seem to have occurred?
His Majesty the King — with infirmities and how the book treats him, and how the world views the remainder of his household — is not sending copies of this for the vacations.
Still, a lifetime later, no one dares recommend figuring out something about that August evening. Maybe sometime any person will know and any person will inform.

Museum Pic’s struggle over misplaced artwork
OK. Pay consideration. I’ve stuff to let you know: 1918 in Biarritz, France. Sunny glamour. Picasso’s honeymoon with Olga Khokhlova. It’s the place he painted “Woman in an Armchair.” Understand, we’re not speaking cockamamie Crayolas right here. Fast ahead. 1936. Solomon Guggenheim acquired the canvas for his basis. In 1960 it was lent to the University of Pittsburgh. Suddenly this masterpiece disappeared — stolen from the scholar union. Chubb Insurance paid $7,000 for the loss.
The plot thickens. This portray lately popped up at Christie’s. For sale. How, I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But now a crate of Guggenheim attorneys is suing Lawrence Jay and Wendy Cohen Handler, who declare they purchased the stolen Picasso in ’99 from Fifth Avenue’s Beadleston Gallery.
They will not be into Crayolas. They need it back. Listen to me. Split the infant in a Solomonic answer: Guggenheim takes the girl, the Handlers get the armchair, I get a grainy photograph on my crappy telephone and Donald sells the specs to Iran. Meanwhile, depart us watch out. The factor may finish up as a Crayola on 14th Street.
Only in New York, children, solely in New York.
