Qqq
People commenting one year ago about awful decorating are forgetting these are pix from the 80’s. Laura Ashley prints were very in vogue, as was this flat.
I never liked Laura Ashley's stuff.
Most of the photos are from 1997 taken after her death.
The furniture is nothing like I remember in the 80's.
@@Vivaldilover because you weren’t a princess
No good excuses exist other than old and frumpy.
At 5:15 it shows Diana's favorite room. That is the only room that shows her homey style. It was pretty obvious she was limited on what she could do in terms of decorating but she made that room the most welcoming.
Just the whole idea of the Tudor family who once lived there, walking around the hallways, etc.. gives me the chills. The history, if walls could talk!
The Tudors were over 500 years ago now. The royal house that followed were the Stuarts.
C. Hay Yes, prior to 1917, the members of the British Royal Family did not have a surname; but, they were members of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Queen Elizabeth's father, King George VI, was born in 1895 as a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. According to some accounts the name change was due to the fact that it sounded too German. The Windsor family shouldn't be the royal family. It belongs to Michael Edward Abney-Hastings, Britain's Real Monarch. I particularly find English history fascinating because my 18th Great Grandmother, Margaret DeMowbray, Dutchess of Norfolk (1399-1459) is also Anne Boleyns great great grandmother. Anne Boleyn is my 3rd cousin 16 generations removed. I also have in my family line John (Beaufort of Gaunt) Plantagent, 1st Duke of Lancaster, he was my 19th great grandfather.
dV8 Entertainment It is very nice to read this comment. I am Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro and I am really fascinated by the British Royal Family. I' ve been reading a lot about this family for the last 20 years! Thanks for sharing this very good explanation.
dV8 Entertainment I just watched a video -" An Unlawful Killing". Which puts Prince Phillip right in the middle of the Natzis He was born and raised in Germany!!!
Vanda Moura Princess Diana was murderd!!! You should know that about them also!!
I've been in Kensington Palace, it's a pretty gloomy place, I can see why Diana would want bright, cheerful colors, it looks very welcoming.
I've been to Kensington Palace too and it is absolutely WONDERFUL. There are huge windows for a lot of natural light, beautiful furniture - I found it to be a very open, airy and cheerful place. The public is only allowed in the state rooms and they are very nice!
You have only been in the parts where the public are permitted no doubt. The private quarters are not exactly on display and no doubt are decorated as the resident wishes.
Marlene and Paula since both of you been to Kensington Palace is it how it's shown in this video !?
She was very lucky to live there. She never saw the good things in her life.
@@janeepooley haha...its a sad awful place
Seeing these photos of where she lived makes me sad. RIP Diana. 💔
The style & decor is from the 80' & 90's which was nice at that time. I liked Princess Diana's sitting room, which looked super cozy and surrounded with all her little treasures (nic-nacs) and books. I can certainly relate to that. I loved it.
I loved the drawing room with the tapestry because it does remind me of that interview. Princess Diana with William & Harry at the piano.
Love Princess Diana.
Probably wasn’t even allowed to put her own touch to it by what he’s saying.
I’m sure Di would have had a more modern look. It’s dreary.
Julie Keenan that’s her (Diana) decorating choices .
Leesa Leesa Wrong !! She wasn’t allowed to touch that ugly assed wall paper or make certain changes -research !
@@Heartfelt-zv7wh it belongs to the firm-
Heart 2020 you are wrong Diana chose all the decor
Heart 2020 :
Thank you for sharing photos and explaining. A lot happened since you posted in 2015. Considering the apartment decoration dates back to the 80s, I permit myself to gasp for air for the complexity of colour intermingling, awful decor, terrible curtains and, for a woman mother of two, still owning an unexplicable amount of cuddly toys.
I found myself thinking, A decorator did that?? The colors are off. The feng shue is off. She was so much better at clothing style than home decor.
@@fulanichild3138 exactly, quite strange isn’t it?
People who make them call them soft sculptures. No different than a sculpture of marble, crystal, porcelain, glass, or ceramic. People probably gave them to her and they have sentimental value. Which means she truely cared about people.
People collect Steifs, what's the difference?
She was mentally still 6 years old.
Her William will be king in the future. That's a win for her.
Actually Prince Charles raised the boys as much and more than Diana .
@lynda petty - duh, what’s that got to with it?
@curiosity 2019 - Diana was just the royal family’s baby machine. 🥰
No charles with be king she shit o hi.
@@lyndapet1 What does that have to do with anything? Diana died when the boys were kids. Of course Charles has done more of the raising by default.
Also, William is still her son, her blood. So yes, HER son will be king.
The color palette is all over the place,even the picture frames don't match or even go..I know it was the 90's but damm,I was expecting flawless taste and elegance..
If you remember unlike a young kate diana had no fashion sence before marriage her first picture a blouse that didnt coordinate with her tank top and a see through skirt that didnt match
. . . from her ?

I love seeing Princess Diana's collection of teddy bears and stuff animals. It reminds me that she was just a regular girl who loved the things we all love. She deserved to still be alive today. 💔
She shouldnt have called the press that night and she should have worn a seatbelt also.
And I thought that’s another sign of her mental and emotional immaturity. I would be ashamed to have toys as a grown woman.
She should have been home with her very young children instead of running around Paris with her boyfriend. Just stop acting like she was some innocent little angel... jfc, grow up
@cee tee Please STFU and find something better to do with your life, dumbazz!
@@choosing.tangent 1) Her children were not very young, they were teenagers. 2) They were with their father because it was his turn to have them. It's called SHARED CUSTODY.
There will never be another. Princess 👸 Diana ! She was a rare beauty beyond compare. Her style and grace made the world stand up and take notice. I admire her and so did the world 🌎! She will be greatly missed! May. God. Bless her and May She. Rest. In. Peace!🦋😇👼🙏🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️
THe fact she was physically beautiful and had great style did not make her a good person. She sufferred mental illness and she had affairs with several married men.
KATHERINE IS BETTER !MUCH BETTER. SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED KATHERINE SO MUCH! SHE IS THE BEST THING TO HAVE HAPPENED SINCE DIANA DEATH💞
Diana you will be sadly missed. What a beautiful soul you were. 🙏🏻❤️
I'm sure she didn't care, she was so miserable in that family. Her only loves we're her two boys.
@Logan Jones.
You are repeating the same old thing, over and again....... SHE loved Charles but all he wanted was an heir and a spare.....
No.
Diana married a man 13 years her senior, who was serious, hardworking, rather boring, not very handsome, and going bald........
WHY would she do that?
Because Diana, the unhappy third daughter of a father who NEEDED A BOY to inherit his title and estate....... (Downton Abbey ring any bells?)
Diana was unloved and neglected.
So, like a lot of other very beautiful and charming women, she found herself a man who was older, important, rich, and with prospects.
BUT, because of the circles in which Diana moved, the man that SHE wanted to marry........ the rich famous balding, 13-years-older Man....... was the man who would one day be King of England, and make HER Queen of England.
All she had to do was be NICE and Patient.....
Diana wasn't either of those things.
And Charles was serious, boring, balding, and not even a good dancer.
Emily Lange says "Her only loves we're her two boys".....
And Barry Manakee, and Oliver Hoare and James Hewitt and Theodore Forstmann and JFK jnr and James Gilbey, and Wiil Carling, and Bryan Adams and another young man who will remain nameless, and Mr Hasnat Khan and Dodi Fayed.
But of course this promiscuity was all the fault of Charles, who had returned to his previous mistress in 1986, (2 years after Diana's relationship with Manakee) and has been with the same woman ever since.
One has to ask the question....Why was Diana so MISERABLE in that family?
1. Was it because the Queen objected to the way that Diana would pass her in the corridors of Buckingham Palace, and not even say "Hello!" let alone "Good Morning, Ma'am!"?
2. Was it because Charles' adoring old Granny, who was so happy to have Diana marry her best friend's gran-daughter....... got cross, when she spent the whole of Christmas sulking and refusing to join in the games and dances and charades?
3. Was it because Margaret, who welcomed her warmly, then cut her dead, when Diana played up to Margaret's charming husband?
4. Was it because Fergie overheard what Diana said about her overweight and her lack of style?
5. Was it because the exceptionally hard-working Princess Royal thought she was a fraud?
6. Was it because she dismissed forty members of the palace staff (yes 40!!)
7. Do you think that maybe she didn't fit in because she kept blabbing to the media about matters that were private?
*. Do you think anyone was offended with her, when they discovered she was sleeping with her detective, her equestrian trainer, her best friend's husband and that she was the Toast of the Officers Mess at Wellington Barracks?
@@MandyJMaddison very well said for once. She knew who she was marrying and, she had plenty of affairs, more than Charles, so, stop making her a saint.
Oh, PLEASE!
She got a LOT of "love" from other women's husbands and various single men as well. Diana seldom told the truth, you know.
@@stevechristie2569 You are supposed to be faithful, even if your spouse isn't "perfect for you". I'm an ISTP so....play the hand you're dealt and stop emoting about having someone perfect for you, especially when you decide the perfect person is someone else's husband and then....no, maybe this other woman's husband....no, sorry this women over here's husband....no wait this man whose religion says he is damed if he marries me....Yeah that's the one. lol. I mean no harm. :-)
I can't imagine this was her taste.
@Cat T. So this is more of his cashing in, eh?
@Cat T. Why was Paul a scumbag? I’m genuinely curious. What did he do?
I personally don't like it, I visited many times the mansions in RI USA, and there look way better as picturing the late 19 and 20 centuries wealth, all of course representing the Victorian era. I thought Diana was more modern taste like, but I guess not, she was old soul as well. I like to see it, but I would not like to live in a place with old fornitures. Maybe a mixture of them with contemporary.
It was Diana's home with her father was old fashioned as was diana style
@@kataisa3 he done nothing.but be her shoulder her trusted friend
The bamboo, and pink frills and Laura Ashley type of curtains, and the chintz, really takes me back to the 80's!. It was of the time, but that sort of décor had a nice light feel not at all oppressive.
Rest in Peace. Forever a Princess.

So lovely! Thank you for showing every room
'Cuddly toys' is even more adorable in a British accent. RIP Diana. gone way too soon. 💖
I have never seen these pictures before! Interesting. I have to say her home was not what I was expecting. I have to agree even redecorated it didn't wow.
Awful taste or lack of taste in decor. Yellow walls and pink tablecloth, yuk 1980s or not still ghastly.

Yet The Princess Made the Best of what She could. Imagine if we were in her place a Husband like Charles cheating right before my face! 🤮
A lot of people will not appreciate the decor. But old world/old money like this Victorian style. It has a certain charm. When I was in London with my daughter, most hotels looked like this. They didn’t have mod hotels (if there were, I never saw one) and even their taxi cabs are kept to have the vintage look. They like to preserve the past as seen in practically most of their architecture. This style is very English. Personally I think, it s quite elegant.
1980s decor, not Victorian
@@chriswatkin6213 Victorian-era decorating was the opposite of today's modern styles. It was a time of heavy, ornate and large furnishings and a penchant for trinkets. The resulting style is romantic with opulence and quite excessive. Her home was pictured in the 80s but the decor period is from 1800s.
@@JohnSm926 you are talking rubbish the decor is 1980s Laura Ashley style
@@chriswatkin6213 Laura Ashley is an interior decorator that takes inspiration from Art Deco and Edwardian Era. 1980s is not an “official”term of an interior decorating style. It’s simply a time where people liked a certain look. Pls educate yourself! Done with morons!
Most of the furnishings were very shabby looking.
What beautiful poised woman she was. A Real True Princess. RIP. Thanks for sharing. ♥️🧚♂️
You were beautiful inside and and out. The whole world misses you.
about 8 years a ago..I went for a tour around there..it was about 12 pound..well worth it.
There was a collection of Diana's dresses on display.
The portrait of her is currently at Althorp House.
+s kandy ....oh dear - you still spouting the same old same old ?? You, dear, DON'T speak for anyone else in the UK. Suppose you think Harry & William are the devil's own spawn as well then?
Sad 😞
No wonder she was so sad and depressed. It looks like the peasant's quarters!
Wouldn't the peasant's quarters look warmer in appearance?
This was not a time of “instagram ready.”
Glad to see someone else thinks as I do about this dismal dwelling, yikes!
Nothing like I would have imagined the Princess to choose I wish I hadn’t looked at them
Thanks so much for showing her apartment to us. Liked to know how she lived in the palace!💋❤️🇬🇧
I read that most of Princess Diana personnel belongings had been removed, the decor were stripped off after her death (even the wall paper) much to the young Princes sadness..nothing were left to commemorate her existence.
They were removed by the butler who had all her personal possessions.
The decor, one could understand her state of depression...it's awful
+Meg Shafer: several people wrote it on here: With this decor, no wonder she was depressed.........

Yes.

Loved her and what a lovely home she tried to make for her boys. She is missed. 🌹
Lighten up people. It was the decor of its time. Eclectic with bold colors and florals mixed with plaids, fabrics. Heavy drapes was what was done. Overall classic European look with rich antiques.
Ugh. I was expecting so much more. Her apartment reflects her cold life she lived under the monarchy. I miss her terribly. They used her for an heir and a spare and threw her away.
I would love to just ONCE watch a film about Diana where her death in France is not mentioned. RIP Diana
How do you know she had a cold life .she had plenty of warm relationships with other women’s husbands. Her own grandmother and mother said she was the one at fault in the relationship.Its very difficult to live with a personality disorder that is so needy
@@lyndapet1 And how do you know these things? So her grandmother had an opinion...and? From all the program bashing I continue to see even after her death, she's unable to rest in peace. I think that rates as pretty icy cold!!
Yes, that place doesn‘t suit her at all.
The furniture is dreadul. Her taste in clothes evolved but the furnishings did not
May be Diana was not allowed to alter the furniture 😩
@@joopresents7740 It was her choice of decor.....

Catherine Murphy upper-class furnish their homes with leftovers. Museum quality Chippendale Queen Anne mahogany Walnut. It's a sign of taste, class, resourcefulness. that's why the upper-class kept their monies from generation to Generation. English upper class look down on people who have to buy their furniture.
Understated, traditional, warm and classic, as a home should be. You can tell she valued history and tradition. Wonderful taste.
I thought she was a modernizer
type of person . . . .

Wrong, it's horrible.
Oh goodness, what a shocking decor!
It was the 80's and 90's!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you expect??? Yellow is still a popular color to decorate with, so what's the problem?
@@ProudKansan08 it looks more 60s/70s
The round table in the entry hall took the cake. Too big for its corner, with cloth down to the floor like a frumpy woman's skirt. Awful.
What kind of crazy decorating is this ? State apartments joke.
The UK decorates in what we saw in the 50’s
You all are hateful old grumps.
"Jealous much"?
"Queen of our Hearts" Princess Diana was & is forever Well Loved.
I know so ugly and frumpy.
You either weren't around to know what the style was at the time, or whatever.
I wasn't expecting it to be so tacky. The royal family needs to find a new decorator.
I was surprised also. Not in a good way
It was the 80's, everything was tacky.
@Mrssewhardtoplease exactly frogmore used to be housing for servants and hasn't been used in a long time. Also it has planes flying over constantly so a few million never sounded crazy to me. Renovation and soundproofing on a house hundreds of years old would be very expensive to just make it livable.
@@jessicalawrence6967 Besides, there were articles that said Frogmore Cottage was one of several properties scheduled for renovation, but because Meghan lives there the trash tabloids did everything could to rile up the haters. No one is pointing out that William and Catherine's place at KP cost more to be renovated before they moved in.
No, the narrator said the photos were taken after her death which was in the mid-nineties, and the place had just been re-done
I can see why she was so depressed! What a crying shame - a great loss to humanity and the people who truly loved her. What Charles found in the moron he later married will always be a mystery worldwide!!
Paul Burrell went and took pictures and then sold them after her death ????? He was not a friend.
There's that element, but I think no-one would ever know, and they wouldn't come across as human. The whole place was emptied I think and re modelled that's why he took them.
Red Star72 bunch are of bstrds!
He’s a money making leech!!
The royal family pays peanuts. Good on him making sure he looked after his future.
I agree, cannot stand Paul Burrell, a two faced liar. As for Andrew Morton he remained friends with Diana until her death. After all she did work with him on her book although he wasn't allowed to admit it when it first hit the tabloids.
The gold demi lune wall mounted tables on each side of the yellow sofa at 3.50 are now in Prince William and Katherine's Kensington apartment.
Yes that is correct.
Remember this was the 80’s overly decorated, heavy furniture, traditional, lots of fabric...

It never occurred to me that the most prominent members of the Royal family basically have to live together in the equivalent of a midrange condo complex. That's.....actually really surprising. I know it's free housing, but still.
I know, right!? We're used to only seeing the grand palaces from the outside. I guess once you move in all the family, their spouses, their children, and their dogs, the available space gets divided up pretty quickly. That staircase looked pretty grand though, I feel like these images might not really offer it justice.
EDIT: The pictures do not do it justice... here's what wikipedia had to say about apartments 8 & 9:
"Apartments 8 & 9 are two conjoined chambers situated on the northern-most section of the main palatial building. The apartment covers three storeys. During its use as a residence, the two-room nursery covered the entirety of the top floor; other spaces included two reception rooms: a drawing room doubling as Diana's office, a sitting room with a television, and a formal dining room... The residence had a helicopter pad, and many outdoor gardens, including one on the roof and a greenhouse..."
Paul Burell wrote in his book that he took the Rosary Beads that Mother Theresa had given the Princess, from the statue on her desk, to France and asked the Nurse to place them in her hands in her coffin but, they're still on the desk! He also said that the rooms were taped up by him and her Protection Officer, Colin Tebitt before they left......... A lot of things he's said aren't true in my opinion. He also said he arranged for fans and sheets at the windows in France, Colin said he had asked.... I think I'd believe a Royal P Officer, Retd Police! RIP Diana... 💐🌹💔Xxx
Oh my she was gorgeous!
I’m speechless, these rooms are simply hideous!
Lily Arnaout they are a reflection of the times. Very fussy looking for me.
To be fair, the photos are pretty terrible as well - taken with a flash which blows out all the highlights and casts horrible shadows everywhere. But the decor is fairly questionable too.
I don’t think she had much choice regarding decorating it! The furniture wasn’t hers, nor was most of the fittings. It was not really a ‘home’ more like a rented, fully furnished apartment. Interesting that some of the pictures and furniture went back into the royal collection after her death. Shame she couldn’t have done that while she was alive!
@@angiek5233 Yes I don't think most of it would have been much to her liking. It doesn't look very 'homely' at all.
Frankly, it's class. One needs to be of appropriate status to like the stuff.
Gosh it looked haunted.
The place looks derelic now but I can imagine how beautiful it was and how people wished to have those expensive interiors back in the 80s-90s.
We all wish William and Harry get together and share life from now on. This is what their mother would like for her loving children and their families.
Very crowded and mismatched rooms.I would have expected a more opulent and modern decor.
Wentra w it was “modern” for 1996. Were you expecting it to be modern for 2016?
@@kathrynwitte3398 That was not modern for 1996. That was modern for 1896.
M Poppins I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Design. The au courant touches at the time are certainly represented in those rooms; chintz, bows, cabbage roses with stripes and tiny rep prints... mixed with the de rigeur antiques.

Hilarious,all the negative comments.
Non of us would be allowed to set foot in their homes
The quarters of a trust-funder. Very Sloan. She was such a lovely energy. Although she was treated with utter disrespect from her husband and the firm she always had a light and powerful. She would be proud of her children and her spirit is certainly guiding Harry to be his best self and to be an independent. Thank you for your video and a glimpse into the life of a beautiful person inside and out.
Oh you really have no idea
A glimpse inside of the very disturbed mind that lived in these rooms.
The 70s and 80s threw up all over that place.
😂😂😂😂😂
God you have a great sense of humor
True...in England it was the interior one would expect in my opinion
Lovely rooms,
What a drab and depressing to live. The children s quarters were very nice and homey!!!!!!
Personally, I find the decor quite horrible. Much too bold, busy and the colours nauseating!!
Meadowlark music, Absolutely, disgusting decor,disgusting butler, my comments express my thoughts in the comment section !
WWWWEEELLLL, it WAS the 1980's and 1990's. I still see million, two million dollar houses in a ritzy part of my city, that are decorated in mauve, mauve and green plaids, and florals and ugly dated color schemes from decades ago, but, these rich people pay a lot of money back then to get their houses decorated and then they're too busy paying the taxes on the mansions and for the county we live in, and they don't think the decor is bad, but, when time comes to sell the houses, this is what is shown on real estate websites, and they are way worse than what we saw in Princess Diana's apartments.
The bamboo chairs and the black tree pic wow

@@Fourleafclover9 ugly chairs and that ugly awful painting in dining room
Love the rooms and interior. It´s typical british classy and playful.
I think some people should have a look at the home Diana grew up in. This kind of furnishing is natural. It may not be to your liking or taste but she could very easily have changed it if she wanted to for all you know maybe this is how she wanted it. I willing to bet most of that furniture is priceless. I cannot help but wonder all she did on her own what makes a lot of you think she " had" to live like this???? We have choices in life !!
She chose all of it when she remodeled. Hideous.
Diane was a beautiful women, but at the time Kensington Palace interior is certainly not the standard I expected, thought it would be grand.
Agreed. Very cheap-looking, very thin cushions on furniture, the kind of furniture I remember seeing lower income families having in the early 80s.
@@SR-iy4gg LOL 🤣🤣🤣. I WAS a lower income family in the 80's and 90's and would have LOVED to have had that antique furniture and those sofas !
Hindsight is 20/20.
No "lower income " family has anything LIKE her sitting room. It was meant to be personal and private, not some film set out of Architectural Dig3st.
God protects her son's family ,Nice home .
I miss her. I really liked her very much...big fan of hers.
Lovely pictures, thank you for sharing.
No way was that decorated in 1997 ... it’s the same as when the boys were babies & obviously 80’s style & furniture
I don't think they bought furniture, just drapes, carpeting, and upholstered couches. And that cost it a fortune.
I agree with lots of comments here...that is an awful place, hideous decoration, colors and patterns that don't match with each other...I had this fantasy of idea that her place would be a very elegant and gorgeous one...interesting...
it looked more atractive place on the Panorama interview...maybe the lighting helped?
No, actually it is very very high class doesn't depend on others opinion, i was a nanny in London in the 80's this is typical english for a young thinking, sweet woman who loves her home,
SHE WAS ELEGANT, very elegant, sweet and demure,.
Royals have different taste,not the cheap glittery decorations at all,royals love simple and classic furnishing,its not the place,the furtnitures but it is who lives and use that place made the place worth a treasure..Lady Diana grew up in a colossal estate and a house full of history during her childhood days..The furnishing in her apartment is a museum material,its worth a treasure.Take note,royals have different taste than commoners,or new rich without history at all.
@@marilynwillett804 Indeed,royals have different taste than the nouverich...royals are royals and its their family history that made their life a fairy tale..
Grrrrrr,the very mention of the odious Burrell's name sets my teeth on edge.
Jean Koller ... who's to say? All I can say is this man put himself out there in a way no employee ever has whilst being in the employ of the royal family,except for Crawfie,the nanny to the queen and her sister when they were both princesses. She wrote a book of their lives as children and she was shunned by the family,not even sending a wreath to her funeral.She was never mentioned again. Burrell may have been a great support to Diana but he made a damn good living off her death and his association to her.
And I literally had thought I had seen all of her photos! Thank you ☺️ And yes, sooooo not my taste but then again, it WAS the 80’s/90’s 😂🤪🥰
I have been in many rich peoples homes and this is what most look like. All quality stuff thrown together and usually very messy
Strangely the rich people I visited have high quality, minimalize style.
@@ritahorvath8207 We are talking about decor 25 years ago!
Most of these photos look like they were taken right after her marriage and before she had time to redecorate and put any personal touches in. The yellows and the ruffled curtains look very '80's, of course! Miss Diana and her special sparkle and kindness...
My city pal worked the Patterson Skytrain for Expo 86, got me on the platform with my son born in 81, she was so stunning I forgot to check Charlie out. Also watched the Royal Wedding, on a B&W with 200 Campers in Osooyoos, B.C. What a night to remember, she was our Canadian Princess, who was loved by all. 🇨🇦 ❤.
So awesome to actually see! Thanks for sharing 😊
Gosh I love the 1980’s!
The video is very nice, but the photos are taken from Paul Burrell's book, so of course the quality isn't going to be up to "professional" standards. The decor is typical of the English upper class circa the 1980's and 90's. Much of the furnishings are indeed royal "hand-me-downs", and are antiques. The colours definitely match Diana's personality, and as someone who was fortunate to meet her, I find her home just as charming as she was in person.
Yes, I'm sure that pink tablecloth on the table of a yellow-walled hallway looks great in a well taken photograph. LoL (yes, I'm being sarcastic)
cubomania3. Oh dear, when one's argument cannot stand on its own one must resort to name-calling. How deliciously revealing. I'm afraid I won't be insulting you in return as that's simply not my style. On the contrary, I merely wish you well and goodbye.
Photos were not the only thing that Paul Burrell took after Diana's death.
And, actually, very little re-decoration was done after the divorce. Most of what you see here was Diana's choice and was her style, The large Appartment was totally refurnished and redecorated at a huge cost back then...when they first married. The KP Apartment was their London home and it was always Diana's preferred choice. Highgrove was the home-Charles always favoured.
True in reality the colours worked much better...it was "of its time"
I didn't care for the bamboo dining furniture. I had expected to see more beautiful real wood pieces in her home and altogether more modern furnishings but if they were comfortable here I guess that's all that matters. Just didn't seem grand enough for a real life Prince and Princess to me.
What a tasteless, tacky, ugly mess that interior decoration is. My God.
Lee Brown it was the 90’s. Everything was tacky & tasteless lol lol
In the 90’s a lot of things were tacky that was the style back in

Tu n’as aucune raison d’assumer quoi que ce soit sur moi ou chez moi. Vous ignorez ces faits. Gardez-vous des hypothèses erronées à vous-même, s’il vous plaît.
@Cats Eye I think the former nanny of the queen and her sister (way back when) said that people think it must be awfully grand to live in a palace; but it's more like you are living in a badly heated museum. ;-)
Working for the royals is perhaps more of a stepping stone... I mean, once you have _that_ on your resume, you can name the conditions in your following jobs. ;-)
One thing I read about the Queen Mum's staff was that she fixed the original pay rate, what was very handsome back when she did; but she never thought to adjust it based on inflation or current living expenses. So nowadays it's still the same, only it won't buy much in today's economy. :-\
@@27QPF Nope. This would have been looked on as tacky then too.
Thank you very much. never seen those photos, exquisite, really beautiful
First time I have ever seen the interior of her apartment at Kensington palace. I love it!!!
Eeeewwwww those palace pictures leave a lot to be desired!
Sad tho.. to realize that the night before her funeral… she was there… for the night…. As her body was watched over by her bodyguard…I just find that sad… the whole situation was tragic. 😢
Que Bella¡ ¡ Mama, con sus pequeños Hijos. Se la quitaron a temprana edad.. Aunque tienen Buenos Recuerdos de Ella, Aún la necesitaban por más Años de crecer en edad y madurez ,
I enjoyed this portrait of Princess Diana’s home. I find her style intimate & taste aristocratic juxtaposed with middle class sensibility. For me, while a tad cluttered, it reflects a woman of warmth & taste. Her environment achieved what appears to be her aim; Inviting & intimate.
Why was it cluttered to you? The make frames? Plates? Soft toys?
Those are either really bad photographs or that is the most revoltingly decorated home ever. I have visited dozens of stately homes and castles, and I have never seen anything so drab.
I think the photos are old and poor quality. The pictures have a yellowish tint to them.
Decor too bland for such a wonderful beautiful woman.RIP LADY DIANA. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤❤❤❤
My bedroom was painted almost the same yellow in the mid 90s.
