Question

Was Diana really that great? Or is the "memorial" just a PR stunt for the Royal family?

Answer 1

Yes to both, she was a great woman who did alot for those she didnt even need thionk about however was hated by the royal family ad i dont think any of them were sad to see her go, hang your head in shame lizzie

Answer 2

Just a way for the tv stations and magazines to wring a few more dollars out of an ever gullible public who can't get enough of the 'startling new revelations and scandals" (as if) about a woman ten years in her grave.

However, I'm sure the sons and some other family members have a genuine desire to remember her and honour her memory.

Answer 3

It's sad what happend to her and her boys but I wish they'd shut up already.

Answer 4

She was good for publicity purposes and certainly helped the UK tourism-wise (as the Royal Family do in general), but I thought that the public grieving was way over the top. I think it's really time to let the whole thing go.

I also find it hypocritical that (loveless marriage or not), her "indiscretions" were forgiven whereas certain politicians and celebrities find themselves out of a job for having affairs.

I thought that I was in the minority until I read the BBC webpage today and realised that I am far from alone in this.

Answer 5

I don't think she was all that great, if she was then why would she marry a homely looking dude like that Charles guy?  That dude is hard to look at.  But really, what did she do? all she did was married some jackass and then became famous.  That royal family is way over rated..

Answer 6

both are correct

Answer 7

I think Diana was a great person and it's too bad that she is no longer on this earth.

She did things back then that people were afraid of doing - like visiting people with AIDS. When the rest of the world shunned these people, she comforted them. I think she was just a genuinely nice human being and it is too bad she is gone - we all know we need more good people in today's world.
