Met Prince Philip at Cowes Week at the Royal Yacht Squadron (its a sailing club).... Very embarassing as I was desparate for the loo and had gone through some roped off bit to find a one... Got stopped from going any further by two policemen (plain clothes) who held me back me until Phil had emerged from the loo. Phil stopped to ask what was happening and so I explained and he said to the police men "oh she can use that one, I have finished with it."... so I did (the seat was warm!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW but no smells!!!) that was in 1970.. I was 13. Princess Di I met at a party just a few weeks before she was known as being anything to do with Charles. Her Brother had been in the same college at Cambridge with the cousin of a friend and we had gone to a party in Cambridge. She was there, as was her brother and she was such a quiet little thing but a total man magnet.I have to say I only recognised her after she got engaged) the party was some time in 1980 maybe early 81 it was a bit hazy then but there were some wonderfully gorgeous men I remember that I was really shocked that she died. 36 and snuffed out... just like that...... have uneasy feelings about all of that whole business but we do have to let it go as it will change nothing. You may have gathered I am not a royalist but I did have some hope for the future of Wills being king with her as his mother..... OK, time for me to shut up for now... Lucy
