I was not a fanatic supporter of Diana, when she was alive. Basically I found her not extremely clever, infantil and manipulator, and her marriage problems did not touch my very deeply, it's not the first timeb such problems arrive, and in women much weaker that her.
Of course she got married young, full of illusions, and she has been cheated on her fairytale expectations ...., this was bitter and difficult to handle for a young girl
.... so, normal she became unstable and depressed...
On the other hand, she obtained a
glorious divorce, of course it's sad to divorse, and after that she used all her energy to become an icon, but why it's bad? It's human and understandable for a person who considered herself as fully cheated.... So she did not face such an enormeous tragedy, she was not the only woman whose marriage broke up, it's quite commun. But she managed to present her story in the saddest way, and to gain full of sympathy, this was well prepared and well done with a dose of Machiavelism.
I watched also the Bashir interview, it was obvious for me that she made a wonderfull manipulating performance (make up, dressing, etc), but basically did she lie??? No, I do not think
, she did tell the truth!
But now she is dead, and she left 2 young orphans, I do not know if it's really appropriate to continue talking about her, in any way, positive or negative. She was a public person, but what about her private side? What do you think that her boys would feel when reading all these topics? They have their own remembers from their mother, which may have been fully different in private that all these press images.
I think the best think we should do for the young Princes it's to forget her. History will come in a couple of years, and put her in her right position, but as WE ALL are not history writers, for William and Harry let her be forgotten. Only them have the right to remember her, not as a public icon, just as their mother.
