Diana Wembley Concert
A concert in memory of Princess Diana, who died ten years ago this summer, is being held at the new Wembley stadium on Sunday, July 1, which would have been her 46th birthday.
The concert is being organized by her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, with the help of Chelsy Davy and Kate Middleton, both of whom are expected to be there.
Already lined up to perform are Elton John, Rod Stewart, Duran Duran, Take That, Lily Allen, Bryan Ferry, Pharrell Williams, The English National Ballet, Joss Stone, The Feeling, Fergie, James Morrison, Natasha Bedingfield, P. Diddy, Will Young and Andrew Lloyd Webber, who will stage a medley of songs from some of his greatest West End shows.
The event will be shown worldwide on TV and by internet streaming. You can find out how to view it in your country here.
It sounds absolutely wonderful and if I am able to access it here in the USA, I will undoubtedly be in tears the entire time. I will totally lose it when they show photos of Princess Diana on those big screens. But I will be watching nonetheless.

Gigi please pass the tissues!!! I’m sure every time they show pictures of Diana with William and Harry in the role she cherished most I’ll be in tears too. Especially now that their grown and hardly have memories of her.

Very true. I have a feeling there will be a massive run on kleenex worldwide and reports of salt tear flooding as well. I clearly remember my son, daughter and I sitting crying like babies the night Diana died. We cried straight through the funeral, too. Our neighbors’ cable went out and they came over in the middle to watch with us and they each brought their own box of kleenex. We just all sat there and wept brokenly the entire time.

Gigi I was on the phone with my best friend who was born in Malvern crying the entire time we watched the news coverage that week. I don’t know why to this day people write such trash about Diana but ten years ago the world lost a woman who was like a sister and a friend. As her brother said it best she was classless, unique and beautiful.

I agree with you totally, Trudie. There is a perverse, hyper-critical claque in the world that attacks goodness and genuine star quality whenever they encounter it. I believe this claque perceives an implied threat from a person with the genuine compassion and kindess Diana exuded, undoubtedly because they never will have a fraction of the character she had in abundance. All they achieve is to make themselves more base than they were originally. Further, I feel very deeply that the nucleus of what destroyed Princess Diana’s marriage, and, in the fullness of time, Princess Diana, was that Charles, the most neurotic, insecure and vindictive of men, felt threatened by the attention Princess Diana received from a public whose interest and adoration Charles felt should belong to himself alone.
“Beware the jealousy of little men
Imperiled you may be, beyond your ken
The covetous, unkind, blackhearted kind
The evil that can fester in the mind
Your goodness to their aims a threat impart
Resolved with a dagger in the heart…”

I did, too, Zini. Wasn’t she a precious little girl? I think Prince William and Prince Harry did a splendid job putting on this concert. I feel it was an astounding success!
