Death of a Princess:
Why the Diana Tragedy Spawned So Many Conspiracy Theories
Diana actually became a tiresome figure, and I am sorry her
memory is being dragged back by the press on the anniversary of her death.
We were all influenced by her superficial charm. She had a
dazzling smile. And she had a good press. A few snaps of her with a sick kid,
and, presto, she became a secular saint. A beautiful version of Mother Theresa.
But she amounted in fact to little more than one more jet-setting
Hollywood celebrity type, wasting immense resources on her whims and doing very
little of value besides smiling for the cameras.
And the underlying reality was that she was a very disturbed
person who should never have married into the Royal Family, a woman whose
beauty and smile caused people to credit nonsense.
We have anecdotes of her, in a limo after one of those
glowing public appearances, breaking into hysterical laughter at the very people
she had just graced with her smile while accepting their bouquets of flowers.
She clearly was an unbalanced and reckless person with her
crazed car chases with the paparazzi, and that was the real cause of her death,
her reckless behavior. Forgotten, too, is the record of her insane serial phone
calls to various people, just scores and scores of them in a single day.
And her mumbo-jumbo with stuff like “aroma therapy.” Her
many reckless sexual affairs, including one with an official bodyguard, ready
to damage careers and reputations with little thought. And her dark, paranoid
belief that Charles wanted to kill her. No, Charles wanted to forget her, but
she was so focused on her own importance that she believed he wished to kill
her.
There is a record of madness and excess in the Spencer
family line, her brother plainly displaying it, and her son Prince Harry, a
quite unpleasant man who does precisely nothing of any worth, shows definite
signs of the same with behaviors like demanding he be sent to Afghanistan and
later bragging to friends of killing a man or the time he showed up at a
cocktail party in a Nazi uniform as a “joke.”
As far as her being pregnant, who knows or cares? If she
was, it just adds to the sense of her recklessness, and it would just naturally
be something that officialdom would covered-up. No dark plots are required. It
happens all the time with celebrities of various kinds.
