Princess Diana Spencer

Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1, 1961 in Sandringham, United Kingdom to the eighth Earl of Spencer, Edward John Spencer, and Frances Spencer. Diana had four other siblings; Elizabeth, Cynthia, John, and Charles. In 1967, Frances Spencer left Edward for Peter Shand-Kydd. Frances and Edward divorced in 1969. The children stayed with Edward and, in 1976, Edward married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth. After the death of Diana’s grandfather, the seventh Earl of Spencer, the family moved to the Althorp house in Northamptonshire.1

“She talked endlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment that she received at the hands of the newspapers. I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling.” Here he shows how the papers tainted Diana with lie and remarks on her good intentions. "My own and only explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this - a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.” He shows the anguish Diana felt at the hand of the media and demonstrates that the unethical press is the only one who had a disdain for

During that time, Diana's brother, gave a eulogy speech. Similar to the Queens speech, the eulogy also contains pathos throughout his speech. He described Diana as “The very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty.” (Earl Spencer’s Eulogy To Diana) The eulogy clearly described that her title of royalty didn't make her who she was, and that her “magic” will continue on forever. Although, unlike the Queens speech, logos are found throughout the eulogy. Light is shed on all that Diana is, both the good and bad. He used factual evidence such as “Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness, of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom.” (Earl Spencer’s Eulogy To Diana) He wanted the public to know that although Diana was an amazing person, she to had problems just like any other average

The mourning country needed reassurance from their queen, the woman who had lead them for the last 44 years. She broadcast a speech 5 days later, intended to comfort the country and call them to unity in grieving and showing respect for her family while reestablishing a more positive public view on the royal family. The queen speaks simply and clearly, but compassionately, providing a calmingly concise statement. As it is several days after the fact, little logos is needed, as the world already knows the story. Her word choice speaks greatly to her use of pathos and ethos. She includes herself amongst the mourners, using the word “we” to refer to herself throughout much of the speech. This acts as a show of ethos, as a sense of relatability despite class differences. She mentions how they are “all trying to cope” (Queen Elizabeth) and how they have “all felt those emotions”(Queen Elizabeth) as they mourn and work through the shock that was her sudden death. After providing this remark, she goes on to comment on the life of Diana, calling her an “exceptional and gifted human being” (Queen Elizabeth). She notes the princess’ “capacity to smile and laugh… [and] inspire others with her warmth and kindness” (Queen Elizabeth). She then says that she “admired and respected her” (Queen Elizabeth), a comment that one could almost find remedying, given the last few years. Prince Charles and Diana had fairly recently divorced after a long string of drama and issues had cropped up, and the Royal family had been divided on the issue. The Queen’s presence on the issue of their divorce was a unique one, supporting Diana through most of it, but towards the end, their relationship had soured somewhat. Given this, the queen’s tribute to Diana was touching and strongly held a level of pathos that both remedied the public opinion of her in handling the

The fact that the Diamond Jubilee is being celebrated worldwide perhaps shows what a prominent figure the Queen is the whole world over. Maybe that has gone to her head, as it is no doubt her British loyalists paying for the commuting and security for her. Why should we cough up so she can swan off to Timbuktu or the like? Perhaps she’s caught onto the fact that her position isn’t quite what it used to be when the monarchy could order a criminal to be beheaded as easily as calling their maid for a cup of tea. Perhaps she’s upset now that she has so few powers, besides handing out awards to heroes and celebrities. She even had a role in the James Bond sketch for the Olympics to boost her appeal. It’s sad to see what antics the old dear has been reduced to just to gain public appreciation, but then again, maybe it’s time she paid attention

Earl Spencer’s eulogy claims that Diana was an astounding person while still showring she was only a person not a saint. This is shown when the Earl talks directly to Diana and

Standing in front of 2,000 people along with 2.5 billion people watching on TV, The Earl Spencer delivers the eulogy at the funeral of his beloved sister, Diana, the Princess of Wales, who died a sudden, tragic death.

Princess Diana was always trying new things and helping those in need. She trusted her own judgment on many things. After her divorce from Prince Charles, she had to reinvent her life

Princess Diana reported that her prime motivation was to try and help the most vulnerable people in society. She stated to the BBC’s Martin Bashir “It is a goal and an essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.”(Bulman,2017) Diana was influenced by a need to serve others,as she had the drive to make people feel loved and cared for. She believed that the best way to help someone heal was by offering them affection and kind words. Diana utilized herself as a public figure to distribute her charity works to increase global awareness for the greater good.

She raised her sons to love and inspire people. She showed them the motherly love that she herself had not received and anyone in the Royal family has ever been shown. The author recounts, “Diana kissed them and hugged them hard. Motherly love could hardly be clearer. Contrast that scene with a similar situation a generation earlier. When Diana’s mother-in-law, the Queen, returned from foreign travel she would greet a young Charles with a handshake.” (Owen 77) Diana loved her kids more than anything in the world, even if her relationship with their father did not work out. She knew she wanted to play a major role in how the young princes grew up, and she most definitely did. Both of Diana’s little princes show the “contradictory sides of their mother’s personality.” (Owen 76) Harry is a charmer, like his mother, while William is sensitive and finds it challenging to deal with the media attention. Both sides of their mother that each boy shows will be helpful to them in the future with their different responsibilities. It also helps them because they both got compassion and a strong instinct from their mother as well. “William and Harry were truly the cornerstone of her life. So much so, it was wanting to be near them that kept her in Britain, when other parts of the world without such intrusive media and tougher privacy laws, often seemed more appealing to her.” (Owen 77)

Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, gave a eulogy for her on September 6, 1997. In the eulogy he speaks of how much Diana meant to the people of not only England, but also the people of the world. Within the speech, the Earl becomes passionate about his sister and the things that she did during her life. One example that he gave was that on her birthday, she did not celebrate the day but instead was the guest of honor at a charity fundraising event. The speaker is Earl Spencer, the brother of the late Princess. The audience is all of the people who are
