[0:00] imagined herself a decade later isolated

[0:02] and neglected by her husband, Prince

[0:05] Charles.

[0:05] >> She only ever had eyes for him. Really,

[0:08] >> she knew exactly every day in that

[0:11] courtship how she was going to get him

[0:14] to marry her. And I think she had set

[0:16] out to do this from the age of about 12

[0:19] or 14. I believe very strongly that she

[0:22] was always determined to become the

[0:24] Princess of Wales. At just 19, the

[0:27] aristocratic kindergarten teacher became

[0:29] known by the whole world as Shy Dye.

[0:32] Outside the modest apartment she shared

[0:34] in central London, Lady Diana Spencer

[0:36] had to fight off the press who are

[0:38] camped at her door.

[0:40] >> Lady Diana,

[0:41] >> we'd spent a lot of time keeping out of

[0:44] the window. She was having to cater with

[0:45] the everyday practicalities of dodging

[0:47] the press. A few months later, Diana had

[0:50] won the heart of the handsome Prince

[0:52] Charles, but many doubted they were

[0:54] really in love.

[0:55] >> I I'm amazed that she's been brave

[0:58] enough to take me on.

[1:00] >> And I suppose in love,

[1:04] >> whatever in love means.

[1:06] >> She was put into a situation of of sort

[1:09] of isolation really. She was whisked

[1:11] away and put into her ivory tower in

[1:14] Buckingham Palace.

[1:20] He said, "Tell me, why do you think I am

[1:23] so suitable to become the Princess of

[1:26] James? Surely it's not just the fact

[1:29] that I'm a virgin." The wedding of the

[1:31] century was watched by 600 million

[1:34] people around the world, all eager to

[1:36] see the climax of the fairy tale

[1:38] romance, for Lady Diana to capture the

[1:41] prince and his kingdom. On the outside,

[1:44] Princess Diana seemed to adjust well to

[1:46] her new role. But it wasn't easy. She'd

[1:48] lost her privacy and her carefree youth.

[1:51] The boredom of official visits took its

[1:53] toll. But combining her role with

[1:55] motherhood, giving birth to an heir and

[1:58] a spare, Princess William and Harry,

[2:00] brought great fulfillment to her life.

[2:03] >> She's instinctively a good mother. She

[2:05] goes out and about with them. She thinks

[2:07] of things, treats for them, and

[2:10] you know, I mean, she does the most

[2:12] ordinary and marvelous things with them,

[2:14] and they love it. They love her. Diana

[2:17] is a dedicated mother, which is just as

[2:19] well because Prince Charles is seldom

[2:21] seen with his children. On a trip to

[2:23] Austria, Diana took the boys skiing for

[2:25] the first time. Where was their father?

[2:28] At home alone, finishing his book on

[2:30] watercolors.

[2:31] >> I think he's a selfish man. uh he is

[2:33] still very much um leading the life he

[2:35] led before they married. He hunts, he

[2:37] shoots, he goes out and takes holidays

[2:40] with whomsoever he pleases whenever he

[2:42] wants.

[2:42] >> Speculation about a rift in the royal

[2:44] marriage first broke in 1987 when the

[2:47] Felain Princess didn't see her husband

[2:49] for 33 days.

[2:52] What kind of a year has it been? You

[2:54] were with Charles and Lina in Korea.

[2:56] >> I don't think they spoke a single word

[2:58] to each other. It was hideous what I saw

[3:00] in Korea. It was not exaggerated the

[3:03] amount of stories that were written.

[3:05] They I saw I think loathing in each

[3:08] other's eyes for one another. It's not

[3:09] all one way, you know. I I don't think

[3:11] Charles likes Diana any more than she

[3:14] likes him.

[3:17] The tale of the modernday Cinderella has

[3:19] faded. The silk cushion on her bed

[3:22] bearing the words, "You have to kiss a

[3:24] lot of frogs to find a prince," is a

[3:26] reminder of the days when her life

[3:28] really was a fairy tale.

[3:37] really is a shame. And there's nothing

[3:40] like a royal wedding to cheer up a

[3:42] British crowd. But even this weekend's

[3:44] marriage for Princess Anne, her second,

[3:46] is likely to be a lowkey affair. And

[3:50] when Inside Edition comes back, why kids

[3:52] love Home Alone, too.

[4:01] The magic of Home Alone in a moment, but

[4:03] first, here's what's upcoming on Inside

[4:05] Edition. No,

[4:06] >> I didn't kill my kids. The man was set

[4:09] up and he was framed.

[4:10] >> They convicted him with lies and then

[4:12] they had to set him free. Now they're

[4:14] threatening to try him for murder again.

[4:17] Find out why.

[4:19] >> That's next time. And finally today,

[4:21] what is it about this Home Alone stuff?

[4:23] The sequel has grossed nearly 100

[4:25] million so far and kids are besieging

[4:28] the box office. Clearly, there is a cord

[4:30] being struck here. But what is it? Cindy

[4:32] Hal went to the source to find out.

[4:42] Kids are screaming about Home Alone

[4:48] >> and McCauley Kulkin who plays the

[4:50] precocious Kevin Mallister. And if kids

[4:53] continue to pack theaters as they have

[4:55] been, the sequel may just be more

[4:58] successful than the original movie. The

[5:00] third highest grossing film of all time.

[5:04] >> I wish I was Kevin.

[5:06] >> Yeah.

[5:06] >> Was was or is every like boy or girl's

[5:11] fantasy, you know, to be left home alone

[5:13] to do whatever you want, having, you

[5:15] know, all your parents' money.

[5:16] >> As a matter of fact, this has happened

[5:18] before. funnily enough, we never lose

[5:21] our luggage.

[5:25] >> Home Alone 2 is essentially the same

[5:27] story as the first movie, except this

[5:30] time Kevin is lost in the Big Apple.

[5:32] Despite the similarities, movie critic

[5:34] Jeffrey Lions wasn't at all surprised

[5:37] that the sequel is cleaning up at the

[5:38] box office and with kids.

[5:41] >> They love to see him doing some of the

[5:42] grown-up things that they know they

[5:43] shouldn't be doing and they wouldn't

[5:45] probably do ever. He's doing grown-up

[5:46] things and kids love to think that they

[5:48] can do it too.

[5:49] >> Can I help you?

[5:50] >> Reservation for Mallister.

[5:54] >> A reservation for yourself.

[5:57] >> Ma'am, my feet are hardly just on the

[5:58] ground. I'm barely able to look over

[6:00] this counter. Think about it. A kid

[6:03] going into a hotel making a reservation.

[6:06] I don't think so.

[6:07] >> Child psychiatrist Barry Saul speculates

[6:10] on another reason the film is a big hit

[6:12] among kids.

[6:14] I think children can relate to the Kevin

[6:17] character where he is ignored

[6:22] adequately by the parents.

[6:23] >> Kids also like the fact that Kevin is a

[6:25] real hero in control and afraid of no

[6:28] one, not even the bad guys.

[6:31] >> There's a metal bar and then it knocked

[6:34] him all the way down to the basement.

[6:37] >> You guys give up.

[6:39] I like the part when um he puts the

[6:42] paint all over the guy's face.

[6:45] Uhoh.

[6:46] >> Have you HAD ENOUGH PAIN?

[6:48] >> NEVER.

[6:49] >> ASK KIDS WHAT THEY like about Home Alone

[6:50] 2, and they're likely to tell you the

[6:52] violence, although you won't really see

[6:55] any blood and gore. The movie slapstick

[6:57] style is raising concern among some

[7:00] experts. Gene Shore is an education

[7:03] consultant at a New York daycare center

[7:05] and is urging parents to keep their

[7:07] young children away from the movie.

[7:09] >> What is appealing to children is the

[7:11] violence with which they could strike

[7:13] back at the world.

[7:14] >> But other experts aren't taking Home

[7:16] Alone 2's violent nature too seriously.

[7:20] >> Children are able to realize very

[7:22] clearly that this is this is cartoonish

[7:25] and not real.

[7:25] >> If you go to see Home Alone 2, you'll

[7:27] have a great time. It's great family

[7:28] entertainment and you'll forget about it

[7:31] in two or three days. And that's all the

[7:33] movie makers intended.

[7:34] >> Another Christmas in the trenches.

[7:37] >> No.

[7:41] >> Our theory is this. All kids fantasize

[7:44] about beating up adults. Hello, millions

[7:47] of dollars. And that is it for us today.

[7:49] We hope you have enjoyed Inside Edition.

[7:51] I'm Bill O'Reilly. Have a great weekend.

[7:53] We'll see you on Monday.
