Ten years after Diana can we please move on

It's been ten years since Diana died so can everyone please just get over it...

This cult of personality which has been built up around her is just because people love the drama of her life and the fact she died young in a very public way. The same people who were so horrified that she was killed being chased by the paparazzi are the same ones who bought the newspapers who printed the endless pictures of her. Now they have elevated her up into some kind of saint when in fact she was just a another flawed human being who made plenty of mistakes herself. I wonder how peoples opinon of her would have developed if she had lived on.

Reading the comments left on the BBCs website I can't believe peoples reactions though; one person called her the 'world princess????'.

The most touching an honest comment came from somebody who just wrote this

No, she wasn't.
My Mum was better.
She's dead too.

So true.
But it will continue. With books and articles. Forever and ever.

"The truth about her death", "The absolute truth about her death", etc.
She will allways be at kassako for media. And we (maybe not me and you) will read and read and read. Forever.

I'm afraid your right. Just the circumstances of her death will ensure that new conspiracy theories will keep coming up every few years.
