[Margaret Pilkington]

However you saw Princess Diana(and everyone has their opnions)......she connected with 'ordinary' people....something that wasn't notable in other members of the senior Royals.......she brought a breath of fresh air to the Royal family...almost modernising it.

She did not deserve to be treated in the way that Charles treated her. He basically used her as a brood mare.......which is Ok if you know that is what is happening (and are happy to comply)....I don't think Diana knew it....and the alarm bells should have been ringing at the time of their engagement when charles was asked about 'love' and he gave some ludicrous reply....she should have run a mile right then, but she didn't.....and who knows what mental tactics were used on her in the early days of the marriage......in fact, who really knows the truth about all of the scandals and things that went on long before she died.
She died in tragic circumstances.......maybe some of it was her fault(she wasn't, allegedly, wearing her seat belt - how true do we know this assertion to be......just because it is what we are told doesn't automatically make it the truth...as in many other instances.
She died.....and that is it. I am reluctant to speak ill of the dead(it must be a generational thing) however, I would make an exception in Tony Blairs case.
