My kind of Lady I reckon.

Why no bonnet vents?

Because she was a rear-wheel drive kinda gal?

I seem to recall she liked her fast fords - didnt she have a series 1 Turbo?

Special order black one.

Google bonkers collection he owns it now along with a lot of other fantastic low miler Fords.

All of that weeping and wailing was just plain weird

[hypocrisy]But we knew so much about her & felt so close to her. Almost as if she was part of each of our families. If only the press would have left her alone, poor woman!

How did they know she didn't have dandruff?

Those were saved for the 4x4. But because they looked mint, a few people got 4x4 bonnets for their RWD Sapphires.

Very pleasant when she wanted to be, but manipulative. Clever at dealing with people but otherwise an airhead. Borderline bonkers.

Actually - you're not too far off the mark there.

Google BPD. She was almost text book...

She always had good taste in cars...



and she did a lot for audi sales...

At the time she was a Bad Joke walking. Jonathan Ross did a quite funny Joke about her and Dodi the night before she died. Utterly amazed at how She became the "people's" Princess on the back of quite a few Stupid errors.

Awful taste in jumpers

Very good.

Very devious woman who manipulated the press one way or the other. Was it not said that she was the one tipping off the press when she was coming out of a gym or somewhere.

I really don't understand why she has been put on some pedestal.

I remember the morning I heard she'd been killed, and I thought 'this will stir things up a bit'. I certainly didn't feel any sorrow. Really not my sort of person at all, but then I don't care much for the modern version Kate either, although I expect she won't make the mistakes her mother in law did.

A friend phoned to tell me the news, and my first reaction was to think "Some of her dresses have just been sold at auction, they'll go up in value now because of what's happened". And that sums up her existence - a triumph of style over substance.

I don't wish ill of the dead, but the whole episode of her funeral and the public reaction, was one of the most embarrassing events in my living memory. Typical British hypocrisy.

That black S1 Escort RS turbo -

she was used by the monarchy to produce heirs, she was a virgin and charles never loved her imho.

the impact this had on her life and the way she was treated by the media are not mutually exclusive. i dont disagree she brought some of the criticism upon herself but it certsianly didn't appear to be a happy place for her te be until she left charles...

Was she a sly scheming woman who used the press for her own ends?

or:-

(As she is often portrayed)....The people's princess, the queen of hearts......

Something in the middle I suspect, like everyone else.

Sounds about right; woman I worked with years back had been a nanny for some kids that were at school with William ... apparently she barely turned up to do anything with the kids unless there were cameras around.

Regardless, I would never wish that accident on anyone.

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...

[stuttgartmetal]

The public seemed to have a touch of

Oh, it's over? I was watching that .... At the shock of her death

She was past her nadir, awful posing on yachts, webbed up with Dodi, looking at the Duke of Windsors mansion in France.
Like Jackie Kennedy, the where dya go from here had set in.

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.
