Princess Diana

RE: acts of milking publicity more like

She didn't have to do it. Didn't need the money.She may have craved the publicity but surely you need a high profile person to highlight the injustice of starving children and millions dying of aids.I would hate to be as cynical as you.
Somebody needed to do it and I can think of many who deserve your bile before her.

 

Same old shoulders, Same old chips. nt

I totally agree. But I'm not sure she was 'special'. It's never good when a mum dies tragically leaving her kids to grieve, but she wasn't a saint but nor was she someone to despise.</p>

 

Brilliant and posted without a hint of irony.

Our moral compass.

 

Same little heelsnappers.

Maybe you could elucidate. If you can remember posting it.

 

this is a good debate
diana I loved you

 

Love her or hate her (or anywhere in between) - she has installed herself in the pages of our national history.

Diana - on the good side she did get a lot of publicity for the landmines charity. Aside from that, like many others, I suspect she used that as an angle to get her photograph in the paper and embaress the royal family (don't get me wrong, I haven't got any time for them).

With the money and status that she had, she could have retired quietly from the public eye and set up a worthwhile charitable foundation. If it was what she wanted, I'm sure that the royal family and the government would have been more than happy to help her retire privately from the media spotlight and retain her privacy and quietly go about her compassionate work in a more modest fashion.

Dare I say that, if she weren't galavanting needlessly in Paris with a millionaire play-boy, and she'd have been with her kids that night (yes I said it), she never would have been involved in a car crash? Could I also say that the only suggestion surrounding her death is that her car was being chased by photographers (you can glam it up an call it paparazzi if you like - but they were still only carrying cameras) - if they weren't playing at 'chase me, chase me' with the press and just let them have a few harmless photos nobody would have died needlessly?

I thought she was exceptional at managing publicity, but in terms of her legacy she died at the right time. Like a James Dean (who may well have just faded from iconic status and turned into a nothing). Her image was fading away, and become more tired and jaded. The sordid stories about he many different high profile affairs was taking it's toll. Even the day before she died, the press were slagging her off being cold and cynical when it came to trying to manipulate photo opportunities. One paper had to print a retraction when such an article slipped out on the day she died. The interview with Martin Bashir was cringe-worthy. She was a beautiful woman who was starting to lose her looks - if she had gotten to look like Princess Margaret or Camilla, do you think the country would still embrace her? The media is far to fickle for all that.

She died in tragic and somewhat mysterious circumstances that left the door open for conspiracy theories and eulogies. Now, for some, she is forever caught in that glow of being 'special'.

Queue the abuse.

 

RE: We should respect almost everybody, dead or alive

Scott Mills does Radio 1 every weekday from 4 pm until 7 pm. His sidekick the other day got made to eat Mushrooms. He said they were the second most evil thing in the world, just below Kerry Katona and just above Robert Mugabe
