2_there was some backlash to her Vogue pics by DeMarchelier, how she was now 100% celebrity, mastering the art of (fake) accessibility. Her lowest point was right before her death – remember Dodi was a known coke addict and womanizer, and his dad was persona non grata and a rumored arms dealer. She was playing it up. Nobody thought that would end well.
3_Even back then there was a “what is she doing” attitude about her social life, and how futile her pursuit of true love seemed when you really looked at her temperment, expectations, requirements and circumstances. She’d fall in with the Fayad-types (“Eurotrash” for want of a better word) as she did.
4_also, her antics with Tiggy were well known to the public and very unflattering, particularly as to the position it placed her boys. What elevated her in the end was what she did on AIDs, on mines, and her demeanor engaging the public whilst married to Charles, stuck. Markle’s demeanor with the public is opposite to Diana, try as she might to imitate her. Even if Markle died she’d have no chance at St. Di.
Very good points. Di’s imagine would be very different if she hadn’t died because the criticisms were piling up.
1_I remember Diana’s post-divorce life differently. There was a backlash brewing. Her peak pre-death was Morton’s book, “there were three in this marriage”, and people applauded the sale of her gowns (William’s idea) and her “revenge” dress. BUT, the royal side was getting a hearing as well – with the caution that Diana was hardly a long-suffering saint. Her Hasnat Kahn relationship was in the news with hints she was stalking him.
