Why do people still treat diana like some kind of saint?

Question

I don't get it, she was a media manipulating wretch, who could turn on the tears on cue for the cameras.

Some people even think that harry is not the son of charles, but James hewitt, how else would you account for the sudden appearance of ginger hair in the royal line?

She spent a lot of the latter part of her marriage cheating on charles, yet she is seen as some kind of saint by the masses, WHY?

Answer 1

I don't think anyone considers her a Saint...there's a great deal of admiration for her though. She became star the same way stars are made through the media

Answer 2

Don't you realize that after anyone dies, they are considered the most wonderful person that walked the face of the earth? No matter what they did. Every funeral I have gone to, that person was wonderful, talented and is going to heaven. Hmmm, if heaven is going to be filled with all those people, why have a heaven?

People forget (or pretend to forget) the normalness of that person, the angry side of them, the not so truthful side of them.

Answer 3

That's weird - the article says Diana died in 1997.

Bloody h**l! They've kept that quiet!

Answer 4

lets not forget that charles cheated on her FIRST

and treated her horribly

causing her to seek refuge in the arms of another man

and i dont blame her one bit!!!!!!!

men are pigs--royal or not

Answer 5

noi  dont think she was at fault  who was cheating on who

Answer 6

she mainly helped w/ charity...guess that's why she's considered a saint, but yeah, the stuff you said were good facts.

Answer 7

Thinking people never did, and neither did the people who could not afford the glossy women magazines

Answer 8

because people always prefer their own version of events

Answer 9

i was very young when she died (10 i think) so i don't know all that much about her interviews etc.... but i really really don't hear or see any reason for people to still be talking about except for the trial that's now going on omg she died 10years ago cant people just let it go its not like she was mother Teressa or something, i feel really sorry for William and harry imagine if it was your mum they were all still talking about (conspiracy's, harry not being Charles kid etc...) it must be really painful for them.

Answer 10

man. . you got some kind of serious problem if you think diana was at fault here

Answer 11

She was pretty and many of the people who fawn over her memory don't know her history - they have a passing knowledge of her failed marriage - and fail to separate the media-driven fairytale bull from the reality of who and what she was. Their common sense also fails them. And they also have no understanding of history or government. Tragic really.
