I'm in my mid thirties and when I was a kid, the only royal family member I knew anything about was Princess Diana. She was always on tabloid magazine covers and mentioned on news segments and on talk shows. And had I taken the content at face value, I'd have thought her an AWFUL person. The press/media, even in the US, eviscerated her daily. Not all press, not every gossip columnist. But enough that my overall impression is that she was at least very controversial if not outright disliked. When she died (i have a vivid memory of my friends mother showing us the newspaper front page PRINCESS DIANA DEAD) I was really surprised at how upset the world seemed. Because from what I gleaned, people really didnt like her. And they hadnt respected her either. Whether or not she had any right to privacy was a hot debate and crazily enough wasnt settled when paparazzi actually chased her into a fatal car accident.

Basically I was just really really surprised to read that you felt the public was always sympathetic and warm towards Diana. But! I understand that this in comparison to how the public treated Charles. Which I cant speak to.

Strangely, I'm also in my mid thirties and all I remember was everybody wetting themselves with admiration over Diana.

Everyone seemed to adore her. I didn't see the appeal, she was just a sad looking woman with bad hair and who wore more outfits than a clothes horse and did a lot for charity, but everyone else seemed to just love her. And fair enough, her charity was a serious thing back then, she did things others wouldn't, and if she should be known for that, that's understandable. I always remember her being the nation's darling.

I don't remember the idea of her being an awful person, though. Nothing besides rumours of Harry being an illegitimate child of her and either James Hewitt or some sportsman or other. Other than that, all I remember of the Royal Family news was how Charles was shagging Camilla and that it wasn't even much of a secret, despite their marriage.

Overall, I found it all very boring ... then I remember the breaking news report concerning her death. Really vividly.

DA
Yeah, also mid 30s and remember everyone falling over themselves mentioning how much of a saint she was and how those evil celebrity mags and yellow press did her dirty. Matter of where you lived, I assume?
