s*x appeal, impressive charisma, modern mind facing the future, were these the qualities that Diana fancied?

Question

Or was it barely his elephant ears, stigmata of consanguinity.

Answer 1

Neither.  To the first question, these were qualities that Diana already seemed to possess, therefore she was just being herself.  To the second question these marriages are usually arranged and sanctioned by the crown, families and the church as well.  Alas...ultimately, his ears could make him stand out from the crowd. We women often swoon over stuff like that. Then later...we sometimes find the bigger the ears doesn't often mean that you listen or hear more.  They are just maybe....cute.

Answer 2

Diana learned about s*x appeal AFTER her marriage.

Her charisma is nothing extraordinary for someone with money, beauty and the mystique of a royal family behind her. In other words, it gets a bit blown out of proportion.

As for the modern mind facing the future - how to put this nicely ... Diana was, as the Brits say, "thick". Her educational accomplishment amounted to an award for keeping a gerbil as a child. She didn't read, wasn't a good student, and only knew what others told her.

Her intellectual stupidity is a major factor in the end of her marriage - no intelligent man can spend his life with someone as shallow and ill-informed as she was.
