All people want to be touched.
My first thoughts are that I should not let people down, that I should support them and love them.
It’s vital that the monarchy keeps in touch with the people. It’s what I try and do.
I think like any marriage, especially when you’ve had divorced parents like myself; you want to try even harder to make it work.
I’d like to be a queen in people’s hearts but I don’t see myself being queen of this country.
You can’t comfort the afflicted with afflicting the comfortable.
Any sane person would have left long ago. But I cannot. I have my sons.
As for becoming queen, it was never on the forefront of my mind when I married my husband. It was a long way off, that thought.
Life is just a journey.
I’d like people to think of me as someone who cares about them.
As always, a million heartfelt thanks for bringing such joy into this chick’s life.
You see yourself as a good product that sits on a shelf and sells well, and people make a lot of money out of you.
I am not a political figure, nor do I want to be one; but I come with my heart.
I love to hold people’s hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven’t experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.
I wish all the mothers, fathers and children out there realize how much I need them and how much I value their support.
Don’t call me an icon. I’m just a mother trying to help.
I have a woman’s instinct and it’s always a good one.
One day I’m going to go up in a helicopter and it’ll just blow up. MI5 will do away with me.
I was compelled to perform. When I say perform, I was compelled to go out and do my engagements and not let people down and support them and love them. In a way, by being out in public, they supported me although they weren’t aware of just how much healing they were giving me. It carried me through.
I’ve got to have a place where I can find peace of mind.
Being a princess isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
