Princess Diana Remembered
2007-08-31
Princess Diana's family gathered Friday to solemnly mark the 10th anniversary of her death, while admirers tied scores of bouquets, poems and pictures to the gates of her former home.

It was a day for broadcasting video snippets of one wedding and funeral, for rehashing the rights and wrongs of the failed marriage of Diana and Prince Charles.

It was one more day for dredging up questions about how she came to die in a car crash in Paris with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, and for the Daily Telegraph to publish an essay which explained "why we were right to weep for Diana."
I hadn't seen the picture lately, so found this article an appropriate venue. If you really do want to read more, it's there at the link.

#8  #3 - tu3031, ten years ago, when I went in to work after Princess Diana had died, a co-worker asked if I had heard about it. My reply was that yes, but Mother Teresa had also died, and in the cosmic scheme of things, that was much more important (as Mother Teresa was much more important than Princess Diana)

Hey, the kids don't have jug handles on their heads so some progress was made.

#6  I seem to vaguely recall learning that we fought a little war a few years back so that we wouldn't have to pay any attention to the British royal family. Did we lose?

#4  It is likely that Diana, Princess of Wales single greatest contribution to our world was the infusion of non-mutant blood into the British royal family's genetic line.

#3  Mother Theresa will be dead for ten years next week. Will she be getting the same glitzy treatment or are gnomish looking elderly nuns not showbiz enough?
