Diana, Princess of Wales, Stories and Photo

  

Twenty years ago on the 31st August, 1997. Princess Diana of Wales met her untimely death at the Pont de l' Alma road tunnel in Paris France. Many still believe her death was not ordinary but a conspiracy because of her relationship with Dido Fayed, the son of Mohammed Fayed, an Egyptian Business Mogul.

Some school of thought had questioned, why should Diana fell inlove with an Arab immigrant and it is also a shameful act to the Royal family, if she eventually conceived for Fayed. Looking at some videos of Diana, she has a lot to say about her life, unfortunately for her, she died before she could explained her side of the story to the world. Its her life anyway, she owns no one explanation how she has chose to live it.

Diana keeps coming in the news and the young generational are wondering why? People in their late teens when she died do not really know much about her, so it is not a surprise that some young ones ask who was Diana? 'she lived a life of simplicity and humility.' James Simth One of the guest at Kensington Palace. 'Diana became very famous for her humanitarian work and her lifestyle.' he added.

Thousands of people all over the world has been visiting the Kensington palace, where Diana lived for 15 years and her children; Prince William and Prince Harry are currently living in the same palace. however, Kensington Palace has long been home for young royal family. 'Diana still have her room in the Palace, nobody inherited her room.' Said Ellen Spencer, one of the staff at Kensington Palace.

Many people are still going there to leave bunch of  rose flowers in the memory of Princess Diana. inside the Palace there is exhibition room for Diana, where most of her clothes are displayed for show case. Diana is gone forever but her memories lives on. Diana is no more but her clothes are living!

Looking To Enjoy English Tea Check This Out

It was 'waoo!' at Orangery Kensington Palace. Why would you choose to go for breakfast or lunch at Orangery Kensington Palace? For me, I think I enjoy eating in a classic restaurant because of the atmosphere. I can always eat at home if there is nothing attractive else where. After all, some food can really be messy if they are not well made, but then if you are eating in a good and beautiful restaurant, the environment connects to the soul, making you to feel happy, even if the food is not good enough. 

However, the Orangery Kensington Palace is famous for its 'elegant breakfast and lunches.'Aside the beauty and elegance of the restaurant, it is quite affordable. Their English Royal tea is less than 4 pounds and the 'Royal Breakfast,' is 28.90 pounds, while lunch menu ranges from 12 to 17 pounds and salad from 7 to 8 pounds. 

The staffs are very friendly and nice. And I really enjoyed their services as well. I also got a surprise birthday gift; hehehe lot of laughs!

How Safe Is The World Today?

I remember growing up in Africa (Nigeria) as a little child back then in the 1990s, the flying machine "Air plane" got most of the children in Africa fascinated, and when the children hears the sound of a plane they always ran out to see the flying machine. And they will start to sing a song in one of Nigerian dialects (yoruba), the song goes thus; "Aeroplane o da bò, bamí kí íyamí eloko, Aja wò efwu oro asò, owò bàtà esèkò, pamù pamù ginki ginki". Meaning goodbye aeroplane, please salute my mother the pudding seller when you get to your destination, a dog wear a shirt and wrapper with a one leg of shoe pamù pamù ginki ginki...

I personally got fascinated by the plane, that whenever I saw one, I will say to myself one day I will fly in the air. This reminds me of another song, " Queen where have you been, I have been to the London, London for what? London to see the Queen.''

Anyway, in this time no one talks about safety, all we see in Africa (Nigeria) are people who hsa traveled to oversea and came back from abroad to display their wealth from Europe. My personal encounters at the Nigeria and the Germany airport is worth sharing. Nigeria airport is more safe for those who are traveling to Abroad but it might not be really safe for those who are coming to the country from abroad, it is believed that the people have come with a lot of foreign currencies. It is not enough that the airport police and immigration officers are trying to collect some money from these people but also the armed robbers. When the people arrives in the airport they are always afraid, some of these people don't even tell their family/friends when they are visiting the country because of security reasons. They believe their family or friends could leak their information to robbers.


Despite the fact that the Customs and immigration officers are doing a great job to make the airport safe for the travelers, it is not really safe compared to the Frankfurt airport, personally I feel very safe and secure each time I have traveled through Frankfurt airport; from the plane to the maximum security. Their are uniform men and criminal police in the airport, and well developed technology to handle any mishap. Apart from the security in Frankfurt airport, there is construction of more buildings and good roads going on. I was in Frankfurt few weeks ago, only to see the new train station, very modern and world class. The construction of the train station is breathtaking I must say. There is joy in safety, that is why safety should come first in everything we do. As for me, I think security is one of the most important thing in the world.
But then what is happening in the world and in recent times has given a lot of people cause to be more security conscious.


What About The U.K Terror Attack?

I have the intention of schooling abroad, to have a good standard of education, but unfortunately I lost my parents at an early stage of my life, and that really affected me morally and educational wise. Even though I lost my parents I never gave up, I kept on believing in myself. But I still have the dream of schooling abroad. At the age of 15, I tried to publish a magazine newspaper which I titled "Taking Nigeria To A Greater Height.'' I had thought that because I love writing I was already a journalist and when I publish a magazine that I will become the youngest publisher in Nigeria. But unfortunately I couldn't publish the magazine because I didn't get all the support that I needed at that time.


When I spoke about my dream of becoming a publisher and a journalist at that tender age, a lot of people in Nigeria thought it was not possible. That is another story of an African child. Dreams have been kill in my continent every day. I am so grateful that I came to Germany because since I started writing for the newspapers, I have come to realized that I needed to learn more, I have tried to get a place of study in Germany but for now it is not so easy, so I decided to go to the London School of Journalism to run a short course during the summer holidays.

But now, with what happened at the U.K terror attack at the Ariana Grande concert in last week. That killed 22 children including an eight-year-old girl, leaving several children injured. It is really giving me so much concerns, about my safety and the safety of other people. But then I need to go to London to learn the new trend in my career as a journalist.

That reminds me, last week in the train from South Frankenthal to Grünstadt, while in the train the ticket Controller officer, had asked me for my ticket; so I gave him my online printed ticket, as he looked at me he said, " Queendaline Schneider, you look very good and different in your new hairstyle". And I asked him, please do you know me, and he replied me saying yes I know you as a journalist, you write for the Rheinpfalz Newspaper in Grünstadt and I do read your articles.

I love feedback and I really do appreciate all my readers because as a lifestyle journalist/storytelling or writer our work is incomplete without a feedback from our readers. I remain your humble friend and writer.
