She was a normal girl and married into a fairytale. The Royal Family are no different to any other tight knit nuclear family only most members are billionaires with a lot of history and immense power, and she was sudfocated by it especially considering her husband had declared another love. The family started to treat her as an outsider and I should imagine the pressure started to take its toll long before the public saw it, and the putting on a brave face couldn't last forever. When she was 'off message' too much the family closed ranks to protect the heir.
Simple really.
The press were handcuffed when she was part of the royal family and couldn't report many issues. When she separated it was open season as she had lost her privacy privilege. That made things a lot worse for her.
No one could have handled it so she is no different to you or me so it's no good knocking her.
There's a sham royal marriage and at least two sham politician marriages currently going on but the press can't report those either. At the moment.

Very pleasant when she wanted to be, but manipulative. Clever at dealing with people but otherwise an airhead. Borderline bonkers.
/thread.I never forget the morning after she died the Times/Torygraph had a comment piece really ripping into where her life was going. Their tone soon changed and she became this angel figure for simpletons.
If she was still alive now she'd be an utter embarrassment.

Oh yes, so happy after that! She made a few very stupid life choices and paid the ultimate price for attempting to turn media attention on and off like a light switch.
I couldn't stand her and the ridiculous mawkish outpouring of 'grief' after her death has softened the whole nation's attitude to adversity and death imho. The rash of flowers and soft toys which appears at any and every crash site etc. is, frankly, embarrassing and I don't remember is happening before she died. It appears to have infected Australia, too, now...

From Wiki:"Diana was born into an aristocratic British family with royal ancestry as The Honourable Diana Frances Spencer. She was the fourth child of John Spencer, Viscount Althorp and the Honourable Frances Ruth Roche, the daughter of British aristocrat the 4th Baron Fermoy. After her parents' divorce, she was raised in Park House, which was situated near to the Sandringham estate, and was educated in England and Switzerland. Diana became Lady Diana Spencer after her father later inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. She became a public figure with the announcement of her engagement."

She didn't leave a penny of her millions of pounds to charity!

She never left anything to charity as she achieved a lot for them when she was alive..... Her money went to her family. She was indeed a martyr to the camera knew people who worked with her that said when the camera was put down and the lights went off she was a different person indeed.

... apparently she barely turned up to do anything with the kids unless there were cameras around.
So one of the most photographed women in the world only turned up when there were cameras around and didn't bother when they weren't there? What uncanny predictive powers she must have had. Shaolin said:

This eleventy billion times; I can't imagine being married to big ears was much fun but she lost what little sympathy I might have had for her the minute she started cuckolding him and complaining about how terrible her life was to any media outlet daft enough to give her airtime. Anyone who gets into a car driven by someone that pissed is on borrowed time, the paps were just a convenient scapegoat.http://youtu.be/zkrPx5RQ2I0
