Princess Diana

[fabulouslyghetto]

If this woman was indeed pure of both heart and soul, you are reducing her to a Barbie doll complete with a bag of matching outfits.

Isn't that what he does to pretty much everybody?

Personally, I never liked the term "England's Rose" or "the People's Princess"

I blame Tony Bliar for the People's Princess nonsense.

I am quoting and glossing over the view people have of her, as in #6 above.

I recall my mother equally quoting how she was rather shocked and puzzled upon hearing José Luis de Vilallonga quipping that she was just a stupid woman, for being a princess, young, rich, elegant, having two lovely children, admired and loved by everybody (that seems to count, anyway)... but demanding to be loved by her husband on top of it all.

You're just jealous because I would NEVER think of you as a stylish BLarbie doll.

Let's not dwell on her death and beatification.

Well, that's what one does with saints.

Then there are the disgusting 'philosophical' ones like moi.

All these years and I have never heard people criticize her for not wearing a seatbelt, which I think is a valid point. Its partly her own fault that she's dead.

As the facts came out my thoughts were in line with yours:

Don't drink and drive.
Fasten your seatbelt.

You'd think, given the speed that the inebriated driver was traveling at, that the princess would have fastened her seatbelt without giving it a second thought. Moreover, wasn't it obvious that the chauffeur had been drinking? The bodyguard should never have allowed the car to leave the Ritz--an example, I would think, of the dangerous deference given to rich, powerful people such as JFK Jr, Michael Jackson and Kobe Bryant. (Or, to quote Diana's son: "What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.")

Anyway, let's not appear as if we were putting poor Diana own; the only ones to be ULTIMATELY blamed for her sad story and all its consequences are her golden bumpkin royal in-laws: if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

I loved this woman and have the highest respect for her.

What she did to help destigmatize the victims of AIDS - I will be forever grateful to her.

She was truly a beautiful woman inside and out.

^ It was a landmark in her life indeed, I have sometimes put that as an example of the beneficial power of VIPs myself: when the world is filled with idiots who are counted as the good, normal people, anything that contradicts them without making them feel bad can be considered a prowess.

Her first miracle.

Or foremost, whatever.
