Kensington Palace

August 31, 1999

This is the second anniversary of Diana’s death. As you can see the mourning is not over. The gates were covered again with flowers and messages. Some messages less pleasant than others. The call is for a monument for her. Some guys sang a song tribute they made up. Quite good.

April 26, 2000

Today I took the tour. It was really well done. You received a hand held recorder which explained each room. The dress collection explained the intricacies of being a debutante. Some of the Queen's dresses were on display as well as some of the royal children's outfits from over the years. A special exhibition of Princess Diana's dresses are currently on display. Next along the tour is the State apartments. They're not the most grand I've seen but still I wouldn't complain if I lived there. I really liked the view over the park and the sunken garden.
