A very public display of affection

Come on guys. You are being a little harsh. It may not be “normal” to mark the anniversary of a death – but nothing about Princess Diana’s life or death was normal. Prince William and Harry had to share their mother with the entire world. No easy task. Watching today’s Service of Remembrance made me cry unashamedly. I would imagine the reason Diana’s sons organised this tribute to their mother was because they wanted the world to see they had grown up into two fine men their mother would have been rightly proud of. Harry’s speech was not one of a man looking back with anger at the hand fate had dealt him; it was just an articulate, sensitive, moving tribute to a mother he loved. I applaud the pair of them.
