Another remarkable quality of the film is its creation of new emblems for homosexuality in cinema. The song "Secret Love" sung by Doris Day in "Calamity Jane," becomes an anthem of the revelation of a forbidden feeling, with its triumphant conclusion: "At last my heart's an open door, and my secret love's no secret any more."

She said that after the divorce, Diana would be known as Diana, Princess of Wales (a common styling for a titled widow or divorcee), she would keep her magisterial apartment in Kensington Palace, and she would continue to be a part of all decisions regarding the couple's sons (the Queen has final control of Prince William's upbringing...
