who I connected with during the Diana Inquest and with whom I share a lot of historical interest and knowledge, and who believe, as I do, that the Royal lineage should continue as Spencer/Stuart and that our late Princess deserves a fitting memorial.  As Diana would say “something for the pigeons to poop on”!

HRH Diana, Princess of Wales –

Prologue

One
might say, that this is a book about humor, monarchy and horses… with apologies to the horses! 
Some
might say this is a small and often pathetic quest for the truth
(Oh, how I hate critics).

When it comes to the Royal Family, finding the truth is a HUGE task, and let’s face it, the fact that I, a common all-garden English housewife and mother, without a title before or after my name, is even attempting it, is pathetic.

‘Common sense’ is the most
UNCOMMON
attribute of the human condition, ‘Freedom’ is not free and costs millions (in money and lives) and the simple truth is a myriad labyrinth of truths, half-truths, deceptions and lies, impossible to grasp, and would we recognize it even if we fell over it? Probably not! And that‘s just us!  Now imagine trying to ferret out the truth when it comes to the British Monarchy?

Yes, I said it was pathetic, but here we go.

Introduction

(or… if the crown fits…)

Where does the truth begin and the spin end? Have we been watching and reading Royal fairy tales for so long, that we can no longer distinguish between one false tale and another horse tail?….

On 29th July, 1981, we witnessed, THE Uber fairytale in motion: The stupendous and ‘over the top’, opulence
of the marriage of Lady Diana Spencer to HRH (His Royal Highness), The Prince of Wales.
