Are we talking about Diana's parents?

Because apparently that's not true, but rather was a tale Diana spun that she and her siblings were abandoned. Made for a bit of a sob story.

In reality, Frances tried to get custody but lost out to the father, John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer.
So Diana was possibly an embellisher, like Oprah and TW, both claiming how awful their childhoods were. Interesting.

King Charles’s replacement does not need to be Hazz. It could be Earl of Wessex, James, Andrew!!, Louis, etc. Hazz shouldn’t count on it imo.

According to this site, around 70% of the predictions have come true. Certainly, an admirable record. Still, there is room for error.

Think TW will merch "Go Nostradamus" T shirts?
 
Has anyone heard what will happen to QEII clothes? I imagine many outfits will be saved for exhibits, but I'm wondering more about the daily hats and suit sets, which were likely customized to her size. There must be thousands. What becomes of those?

I read something that was posted earlier in the thread that the important items, like her coronation gown and wedding gown, are preserved for their historical significance and for future exhibition. But, her daily suits and hats generally had a life of around 20 or 25 years. She'd then give them to the staff, but every trace of the item having belonged to the Queen was removed. So, no one could start a secondary market dealing in the Queen's old clothing lol. She probably still had a huge wardrobe but maybe not as large as it could have been if she'd kept every item. I also read that Princess Anne, of course, and Sophie, the granddaughters, etc., would likely receive many of her items. Her scarf collection and her bag collection would be amazing and I hope we see some of those items on Anne, Sophie, and the younger women of the family down the road.
