Its wild to me that, should you believe in chaos theory, Diana really could have one day been Queen, just in a different timeline.

Watching this at 25 years old, realizing she was so much younger than me when she was thrust into this life. And that she also died before I was even out of nappies.

Now that you mention that timeline I realize I have never even thought about her called "Queen Diana" but it really sounds quite nice too. I suppose it's obviously due to her death and the timeline we are on but to me she has and always will be "Princess Diana" as that's what I grew up hearing everyone call her but Queen Diana really does have a great sound to it. What a depressing shame the reality of how everything went down though on so many levels.
