Concert for Diana

[Horse with no Name]

I can't help but think she would be proud at the men her little boys have become. For all the Royal naysayers...tell me that the work that the do isn't important? That lending their name isn't helping?

Well we both wanted to put our stamp on it. We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted; how she was and all that sort of thing. So therefore the church service alone isn’t enough. We wanted to have this big concert with, you know, full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness which I know she would have wanted. And on her birthday as well, it’s got to be the best birthday present she ever had. And with it we can, by, the two of us organising it…we wanted to have the fact that the evening is all about our mother. The main purpose is to celebrate and to have fun and to remember her in a fun way.

Princess Diana’s Memorial
Fund and Patronages

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund works to raise awareness of issues that were close to Diana’s heart, and provides grants to support charitable organisations in the UK and abroad, working in areas related to the kinds of causes she championed. These include projects to assist those living with HIV/AIDS, communities affected by landmines, and other vulnerable and marginalised people. The Concert for Diana will also support the work of the five organisations other than Centrepoint of which the Princess was Patron at the time of her death – the Royal Marsden and Great Ormond Street Hospitals, The Leprosy Mission, The National AIDS Trust and the English National Ballet.

Prince William
Centrepoint, UK

Prince William is Patron of Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity. As a child, the Prince visited homelessness charities in London with his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. William also visited a homelessness charity in Newport, Wales with his father just before his 21st birthday. In 2005, William spent a few days volunteering at Centrepoint working with young people. Prince William said “Charities like Centrepoint do such an amazing job in helping to combat homelessness and social exclusion and I just wanted to lend my support to their remarkable efforts.”

Prince Harry
Sentebale, Lesotho

In April 2006, Prince Harry and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso founded a new charity called Sentebale to help vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho, particularly those orphaned as a result of AIDS. The new organisation is a major step in Prince Harry’s pledge to continue his mother’s work with disadvantaged children. He co-founded the charity with Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso whose own mother Queen Mamohato, a much-loved figure in the country, died in 2003. Harry revealed: “Sentebale means ‘forget me not’. We chose the name as a memorial to the charity work of our own mothers, as well as a reminder to us all not to forget Lesotho or its children .”

1. Diana Exhibit in Cleveland

Childhood memorabilia, wedding dress, tiara and jewelry, etc. Also a section on her charitable work with portions of proceeds going to her charities. I'm not really a royal watcher, but I know a lot of people really loved her.

2. The charities they support benefit to an extent that's almost beyond calculation.

I'm quite sure she's very proud of her sons. And this concert is a wonderful thing. Diana was a model for us all when it comes to empathy and giving back. Few will manage in their lifetimes to accomplish what she did in the short time she was here with us.

3. As a mother I would have been so sad to leave

before my job was done. She has some fine young men there and we can smile for her. Breaks my heart to think of all of the parents we have killed off before their time on the streets of Iraq. So many of the survivors left with so little. Thanks for posting this. Peace on earth, Kim
