Prince Charles: The Kissing Prince


Hand-kissing is a dying art form. However, based on these photos, Prince Charles is doing his best to keep the chivalrous social gesture alive and well.

Charles kisses Diana’s hand on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on their wedding day.

Charles smooches Diana’s hand as they pose for the press during their honeymoon at Balmoral Castle. According to several sources, the photo session almost didn’t happen: Charles and Diana had a blazing argument right before, and Diana initially refused to take part.

Charles and Diana are affectionate as they watch the 1982 Braemar Games in Scotland.

H.R.H. Diana, Princess of Wales: A voice from eternity

Photo credit: Mario Testino

Last week I stumbled across Sara Mitchell's book Voices From Eternity, in which five deceased celebrities talk candidly about life after death. One of those channeled was H.R.H. Diana, Princess of Wales, who spoke about her life and death, her love for her children, offered some advice to humanity, and revealed what she's been up to on the Other Side. Providing an unorthodox and intriguing insight into a life that has been studied and analyzed in minute detail, the book offered the following tidbits:

The Accident
  • Diana and Dodi WERE engaged. They were planning a good and happy life together.
  • The car they were riding in was being driven at high speed by an intoxicated Henri Paul, trying to escape the paparazzi, when it lost control after hitting another car. It was an accident; neither Prince Charles nor the Queen had any hand in it.
  • During that last ride, Diana was scared and terrified, and had asked Dodi to tell Henri to be careful.
  • She knew she was going to die before the crash happened; she saw her life flash before her eyes.
  • Her death was drawn-out and tortuous: "I knew I couldn't come back to life, and I couldn't die completely.....It was so miserable. I was so unhappy." (p. 16).
  • After she died, Diana was in a confused, lonely state. She remained connected to the Earth; she roamed around the crash site (and Paris in general), watched her sons at Balmoral Castle, Fergie, and saw her brother and his family. Spirit guides eventually helped Princess Diana transition over to the Other Side.
  • At Balmoral, Prince Charles tried his best to comfort his sons. Although, according to Diana, he no longer loved and cared for her, he didn't want Princes William and Harry to lose their mother. On the other hand, the Queen "is really quite ruthless and cold and was pleased that I was gone and out of the way" (pp. 21-22).
  • Prince William was very close to Diana, and instinctively knew that his mother had died. Although he was shaken and felt shattered, he felt a responsibility to take care of Harry, and to be brave and to carry on.

Life on the Other Side

  • Diana is "studying, contemplating, thinking, living and serious a lot of the time in my contemplation of things I need to study and learn" (p. 28).


Advice to Mankind

  • God is always with us and loves us very much, and provides comfort and advice, if only we would be quiet and listen to Him. In His Eyes, we are all royalty.
  • Love "is the glue that holds everything together".



Diana's Message to William and Harry

  • Diana is very much alive.
  • She loves William and Harry so very much, and they will all be reunited one day.
  • Although her time with her sons was short, Diana was able to teach them how to do their jobs.
  • The boys must love each other and use their royal statuses to make the world a better place.
  • She is always with them in their hearts and memories. She visits them and talks to them in their dreams. When they miss her, they must pray, and Diana will hear their prayers.
  • William and Harry must place their trust in God.


Wherever she is, I hope that Diana is with Jesus, who "sticketh closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24), the Perfect Man who will never abandon, betray, or disappoint her.
