"voted"

Unless she happened to intentionally take part in polls whenever there was one (and I would be surprised she did), there's no way she did as there's never been a referendum on the question in the UK and even polls on the subject weren't common until the 90s.

The "journalist" is thinking of advocated but too many syllables

The headline comes up if you Google it, and it is accurate that she voted in a TV poll, phoning in repeatedly, according to the biography.

The fact that the express is obsessed with Diana is the better thing to go after the journalist for.

Maybe she voted in the Australian referendum.

For sure it would have been a much healthier upbringing for both William and Harry if they were not royals anymore

I find this hard to believe considering there hasn't been a referendum on the subject, and voting stations don't allow multiple people to vote together anyway unless it's a parent taking their child.

parent taking their child.

Princess Diana and Prince William were parent and child

Yeah. There still haven't been any votes on this though, so it can't be true.

Unless they mean in a phonecall opinion polling or something.

Diana set up her own voting station, just for the household, to flex on him.

Reall? right in front of my Prince William?

Before I was convinced every conspiracy theory around them was just that. Now, a kernel of doubt.

[–] HomerianSymphony@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I wonder how William voted. Wouldn’t it be fun if he were secretly a republican?
