In this photo of the 8th Earl Spencer, I see the strong resemblance between the Earl and his son, Charles, the present Earl. In the recent CNN special about Princess Diana, they showed wedding photos and footage of the wedding of Diana's parents - I was amazed to realize in seeing those photos of her mother at age 20, that Diana's face is nearly identical in her blue-suit engagement photos (photos she hated) from February 1981. Diana's appearance began to change drastically from that point forward, but in that freeze-frame of time, she was her mother's twin. I cannot help but wonder how Diana would have looked if she had lived to her mother's age at the time of he wedding - she'd be approaching that now... :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-76980614664707462462007-08-24T22:24:00.000-04:002007-08-24T22:24:00.000-04:00No problem, I was curious about it myself! :)No problem, I was curious about it myself! :)Marilyn Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698214356771586102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383535.post-33406945068861729122007-08-24T18:20:00.000-04:002007-08-24T18:20:00.000-04:00Oh I see, so can watch it on BBC Online.
