I agree, actually, but it seemed like people were particularly obsessed with her, not just British people, but people all over the world.

I've always thought it was pretty understandable? Even if way excessive?

It was a Cindirella story brought to life and played live on everyone's TVs in real time. One which went sour before our eyes, giving people a lot of gossip to follow, and, which is also important, went sour when Diana was still young and pretty enough for people to project their romance fantasies on and transform it into a different popular narrative ("an underappreciated woman breaks free of her bad marriage and comes into her own to find a new love"), AND, then she dies before any real happy end point was reached, which left people without resolution and turned her into a tragedy. And it was all played on the level that's pretty reletable to an avarage Jane - she was rich and posh as fuck, but her marriage problems were very pedestrian, so it was easy for women to latch onto her emotionally, and after folowing her life so closely for so long, they felt that they knew her and took her death more personally than they logically should have. That kind of emotion is never really about the object (Diana) itself - it's about all the hopes and dreams and fuck-ups you've had in life and what you think your Diana avatar (and you as well) deserves from the world.
