Princess Diana 10th Anniversary Memorial Service
SANCHEZ: We welcome you back. I'm Rick Sanchez. Tender moments today, in London during a royal event on the 10th anniversary of the tragic death of Princess Diana. Her former husband, Prince Charles, kissed his sons, Princes William and Harry. The two brothers then led their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, into the Guard's Chapel where Prince Harry led a tribute describing Diana as "the best mother in the entire world." Other Royal Family members and 500 guests crowded into the church to honor the "people's princess." But there was one member of the Royal Family that stayed away from the tribute, Charles' wife Camilla. And the question, of course, why wasn't she there, why wasn't she there with the rest of the Royal Family, the rest of the guests? Richard Quest is joining us. He is the man with the answer. He is in London, tonight. A lot of people saw that, especially when -- you know, that moment when Charles walks in and he gives that double cheek kiss thing you guy do over there in Europe to his sons, which I thought was kind of strange, but you were almost wondering why Camilla wasn't with him. Why not?</s>RICHARD QUEST, CNN NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Well, she couldn't win, Rick, because if she had been there you'd have been the first person asking me tonight: how could the woman whom Diana said "there was three in our marriage" about, "it was a bit crowded," why was she there? So, Camilla was caught in probably the most difficult position. And it was Camilla who eventually, having accepted the invitation to attend the service, the invitation that came from her stepchildren, Harry and William, it was Camilla who said no, my presence would divert attention from Diana and probably, you know, behind her breath say it would also be very uncomfortable for me, as well, therefore it's inappropriate for me to be there. She wasn't there. And I have to say, if I can come of the -- you haven't asked me the question, but I'm going come off the fence anyway, and say it was absolutely the right decision.</s>SANCHEZ: And you speak for the rest of your country, you think?</s>QUEST: Well, the polls immediately before Camilla said she ain't turning up, suggested that 70 percent of Britain's didn't want her there. She was the woman, rightly or wrongly, that caused, as they say, the breakdown of the marriage between Diana and Charles. She is the woman that Diana called "The Rottweiler." She's the woman that Diana basically had several out-and-out rows with. So, it wouldn't have been appropriate.</s>SANCHEZ: The whole thing would have been -- you say inappropriate. We would say weird, right?</s>QUEST: No, inappropriate.</s>SANCHEZ: Inappropriate. OK. We'll go with your word. Let's talk now about her sons. Because, this was almost staged to look as if her sons were the ones who had decided to do this on their own. Very well done. Very well choreographed or orchestrated. Was it that way or did this really come from their hearts? Do we know?</s>QUEST: Why, I don't know, you wish to pour such cynicism on what has clearly been a markable day of honesty from two sons mourning their mother 10 years on. And, but seriously, to the point you raise, it was their idea to have a service. It was their idea to transhift (ph) attention from how she died, the speculation of who was involved, and move it forward and to actually talk about her legacy. And therefore, when Prince Harry did speak to the congregation, to the world it came from the heart.</s>PRINCE HARRY, UNITED KINGDOM: She'll always be rembered for her amazing public work. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world.</s>QUEST: What can you say about that? I mean, there is a son, who was 12 at the time, now 22, basically saying to the world, remember the good she did.</s>SANCHEZ: My producer says we got to go. So, you got to answer this in a yes or no. I don't even know if you're capable of that. Was this an attempt by the palace, by the royals, to finally put this thing away and go on with their lives?</s>QUEST: Yes!</s>SANCHEZ: I thought you'd say that. Richard Quest, we thank you so much. As usual, a pleasure for having you on. At the top of the hour, Larry King is going to have a look at the life and legacy of Princess Diana. Larry, who you going to have with you tonight?</s>LARRY KING, LARRY KING LIVE: I love Richard Quest.</s>SANCHEZ: Isn't he great?</s>KING: He'll be with us, too. He's everywhere! We're going to take you back to the death of Princess Di, of course, 10 years ago, tonight, Rick. We'll have the doctor who gave her first aid in the Paris tunnel. Didn't know who he was treating, by the way. Plus, Diana's former bodyguard, the author of the best-seller, "The Diana Chronicles," Tina Brown, and the woman that was with Diana and her boyfriend, Doty Fyed, the last two weeks of their lives. It's all at the top of the hour on LARRY KING LIVE -- Rick.</s>SANCHEZ: Do you think he'll talk louder than you tonight? Richard Quest, that is.</s>KING: You think?</s>SANCHEZ: Larry King, we'll look forward to it. Well, does it sound like progress or turning back the clock? A theological college is offering women classes on how to be a good wife, housework for homework. I'm going to ask a college dean why men aren't allowed to take that course.
