But I really wonder if she didn't do this work so that the British public would continue to flip the bill for her. She had to do SOMETHING besides jet around and eat caviar to justify her expense. To me she was just another worthless royal living off the taxpayer sweat. Calm down, Elton.

I do think that Diana relied heavily on the press to reduce the prestige of the royal family. She succeeded in portraying her martyrdom in a marriage of convenience - what a unique stew pot to be in. she should have just divorced the prince in silent dignity. I saw the interview (there were three of us in the marriage) and squirmed through it. As to her taste in men - her latest made me think of Jackie Kennedy in that stupid bolero outfit before she landed that whale Onnasis. Money buys lots of hankies. st.bipolar on "H.R.H.Princess Diana." http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/hrhprincess-diana#post-55704 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:25:51 +0000 st.bipolar 55704@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ i met Arnold Schwarzenegger and my familys friends with daniel day lewis and they both really strike me as being hypomaniac especially arnold!

Maureen on "H.R.H.Princess Diana." http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/hrhprincess-diana#post-52021 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 18:23:10 +0000 Maureen 52021@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I'm not a fan of the royal family but while I think they should just respect the dead and let diana die I also think that so what? She died. Get over it. She's a human being like anyone else, not wonderwoman.</blockquote> Precisely. I've never understood what the fuss was all about. She farted, shat, and erred with the rest of us. She was just an a normal woman who spat out ankle-biters for the aristocracy; did the obligatory 'charity' circuit (mainly to ward off accusations that the royals are parasitic), and had a proclivity for sticking her fingers down her throat in the name of aesthetic 'beauty'. God rest her soul; God help the rest of us if we have to endure incessant remainders every year about this woman.</blockquote> AMEN</blockquote> Glad I'm not the only one who feels like this. It's always sad when someone of 36 dies, especially if they have kids and miss seeing the grow up - but it's just as sad for the ordinary person in the street - and they have less money to bring their kids up with! I also object to the lumping of us all together as in 'the whole nation mourned for her' - I heard Noel Gallagher (a person I don't always have a lot of time for admittedly) on radio saying: 'That's bulls**t - I'm part of this nation and I didn't mourn..' BTW Christy - love your avatar - one of my favourite poets!

She's DEAD get over it. She's dead, elvis is dead, jesus is dead! ARGH! I was only three when she died and now there are people on TV telling me that i remember exactly where i was when i heard the news! LIARS! They also have "experts" ie. weird people who want to be on tv and make up conspiracy theorys so that they can tell me where THEY were when she died. As if i care!
