Why Diana Ross?

I totally get where you're coming from Sparklefizz Sadly I can't think of any Brit who would be the obvious choice to head the bill.

I prefer Fortnum and Mason.

Ooh, get you volver. I confess to never having been to Harrods. Oh, the shame!?

You've never been to Harrods?

I was a regular there in the 80s & 90s - different times!

Diane Ross has a great voice perhaps Charles asked for her to sing or maybe the queen likes her Who cares can we only have ‘English’ people entertain up
What a ‘little’ country we have become and what a strange original post

I like Diana Ross. Is this thread going to be a Chain Reaction? ? Sorry.

At the risk of offending: I can't stand Diana Ross.
Not that anyone cares, I just wanted to say it.

There used to be grand pianos playing all by themselves in Harrods.
They fascinated my youngest DD!

It is not a very British event is it? It is often said on here that the Queen is respected throughout the World. I don't understand the objection to Diana Ross.

It's all about Royal 'branding' and 'soft power' etc.

The BBC will sell this live event around the world and it needs international stars, so it's handy that Diana Ross will be in the UK as she's doing Glastonbury.

I saw the Supremes back in the 60s. I wonder if she still has her voice? I loved their music.

I saw her in Harrods once. She's tiny. (Diana Ross, not the Queen. And I don't often go to Harrods.)

Her popularity and the respect she's earned is global isn't it, not just here in the UK. She's been to more countries during her reign than any other monarch.

Charles liked her and The Supremes back in the day didn't he?

Perhaps Diana Ross and her music is liked by HM?

It's just not British, is it, old chap?

If only dear old Dame Vera was still available.
