She divorced Charles and was going to marry into ties the Royal Family did not approve of.
As she showed a disdain for the royals, she would be more likely to expose things about them she didn't like while remain in a position of influence.
I use the above to form my verdict on what she was like.
I'd say she was human. Not the pillar of human good the press made out, sure, but good enough.
Yeah, I agree that she was human, and not too-good-to-be-true. Another way, in which she showed this, IMO, is that she was very savvy, when it came to the MSM----she would "use" them, to her advantage, but would shun them, when it was ALSO, to her advantage (particularly, when it came to her boys, understandably). That's the only way celebrities can maintain their sanity (and, a little privacy), is learning how to get-around, the press----physically, emotionally, and in a manipulative way, if need be; *I* certainly wouldn't wanna be a celebrity, and don't envy them, if, for no other reason, BUT that.
I loved alot of things about her (but, don't believe she was flawless - what human, IS?)----and, like someone else said, I miss her----and, I definitely think she was a good person, and would be accepting of us, ASDers.
