I can't get my head round this Diana business.
Why is the media always banging on about her. I know its ten years since her death and its all very sad for the family etc, but what is it to us? She never did much aside from a bit of charity work (nothing unusual about that, many people do it without running to the papers after all), looking pretty, court celebrity and then complain about the media attention that she obviously basked in. Its not as if she invented anything useful or wrote a good book.
The cult has always puzzled me, first of all there was the quite bizarre public outpouring grief by people she never even knew or met. Then people that I thought were quite rational were going into London to sign the condolance book and every week the papers are full of rubbish about her, especially that conspiracy theory nonsense. Lets face getting in the car with a a pissed driver just isn't a good idea.
I once attended an event where the Duchess of York made a speech and she came accross as an intelligent and informed young woman, yet she is denigrated while Diana is worshipped.
