Reality check.

A film due out shortly suggests that Queen Elizabeth was unable to comprehend the outpouring of public grief at Princess Diana's death in 1997. Well - so was I, and I still am. It is obviously a tragedy for anyone of her age to die in that way, but this ongoing attempt to make her into some sort of modern-day saint is repulsive. All the more so when you remember that a few days following her death Mother Theresa of Calcutta died virtually unnoticed by comparison. I hold no particular brief for her either, but really folks - wake up and smell the coffee!
