Is it me, or is it them?

pezThey opened an inquiry on Princess Di's death.
Okay, whether her death was an accident or not should be known, coz everyone deserves at least that. But my question is, why the hell are people so... taken by this woman? I'm not that fond of her. And if I tell any Brits that, they'd probably throw rotten veg at me, but I'm just being honest.
Looking at her life, and I'm not saying Prince Charles or the Royal Family had been good, but she hadn't been the perfect woman everyone said she was, either. She had more even affairs than Charles did, for God's sake. I'm not going to call her a slut. She was probably just looking for happiness her marriage couldn't give her, but being betrayed by your husband doesn't guarantee you rights to have an affair too, right? Especially when you're a public figure, and have 2 sons who have to deal with *both* their parents seeing other men/women, with the whole world knowing about it.
If you say she was beautiful, that was true. If you say she was kind and did a lot for charity, that might also be true. But there are thousands of women out there giving themselves entirely to charity work to make the world a better place. And we don't even see them or acknowledge their work!
So is it just me who isn't seeing things clearly, or is it the rest of the world? Is it time to wake up?
