I live in America and I don't know why they are even talking about her in the first place. But despite my home country, why is planet Earth in general still hung up on this meaningless person? A princess, okay so she's some rich kid who has the title princess before her name. Why does that make her important? And they were probably all drinking and doing drugs when her car crashed so it's not like she died defending her country in a war or anything. It just doesn't make sense to me why they consistently talk about her in the news like she made a difference while she was here.

Well, she was in a very interesting situation before she died, and her "rivalry" was much publicized before the wedding. The general public tended to take her side because she was more atteractive though. They found something appealing in the fact she was a school teacher. Essentialy useless, but beloved all the same.

O really? Wow dude, it's called remembering someone. I think we should stop honouring the heroes of wars too because they are dead not like we can change it now. Does that make sense? Nope neither does what you said. She had an impact on a lot of people, maybe not on you but that doesn't mean you can't remember her for what she did.

She was the princess of a country. She would have been a queen someday. So, let me put this into perspective for you. It's like a vice president being killed.

Have you done this?

Starting in the mid- to late 1980s, the Princess of Wales became well known for her support of all charity projects. This stemmed naturally from her role as Princess of Wales - she was expected to engage in hospital visitations where she comforted the sick and in so doing, assumed the patronage of various charitable organizations - and from an interest in certain illnesses and health-related matters. Owing to Public Relations efforts in which she agreed to appear as a figurehead, Diana used her influential status to positively assist the campaign against landmines, a cause which won the Nobel Prize in 1997 in tribute, and with helping to decrease discrimination against victims of AIDS.

One of the special thing about her is that she's actually far more popular and has more people support than the whole royal family, which make the Queen really worried, so there's kinda rivalry between her and Her Majesty Queen of England, and beside she's Princess of Wales.. And she's done quite lot of missionaries in her lifetime as a Queen for poverty and the welfare for the children in Africa for one, and that make quite of an impact to the world I suppose, and no Im not really a big of fan her either nor that I pleased to hear about her every year.. But it's the tenth anniversary of her death.. So I can understand for a person in her calibre its a worth remembering.

Defintely sick of hearing about her.

For sure, she focussed a lot of attention and benefit on the charities that she was the ambassador/figure-head of.

But ultimately, she died whilst racing around Paris with a guy who wasn't her husband, and whilst her children (then fairly young) were home in another country without her.

I feel sorry for her kids, but she made her own destiny.

I was gonna agree that i'm sick of hearing about diana but you hurt my feelings. Why would being tied to royalty and having a royal title make you meaningless princess?

I live in England, and I do a paper round so naturally I'm sick of reading about her everyday, her and madeline, not being mean to her, since it's a terrible thing that happened, but she's on the front page quite often for no reason at all lately, since there has been no developments, and it's not like no one knows about her here aswell.

I don't read newspapers. Its the television news that is filled up with Madeline all the time, despite there being absolutely no developments whatsoever half of the time. No doubt today's news will be filled with Diana stuff, as well as every other show with even a remote connection to current affairs...

The TC's knowledge about dianna is hilarious, he makes stuff up and presents them as fact...mind you I shouldn't be surprised, this is GS....

I am sick of hearing about Diana's death, but it should be over after the memorial services today. I do not begrudge her kids wanting people to remember thier mother but involving the press is a little inappropriate.

She was a great women. Unfortunately, it seems the younger generation here knows very little about her charity work and how she was an inspiration to people all over the world. When she died, the world cried. In fact, I would argue that more people mourned for her that day, more so then any other person in recent history. An estimated 2.5 billion people watched her funeral -- 2.5 billion.
I do however agree though one one point. They shouldn't be bringing up her death again. Anniversaries are for marriages and birthdays - not for deaths.

I especially find it funny (horrible funny) that this is 'news' this doesn't belong in the news, it's just someone who died... YEARS AGO! That's new alright... :lol:
