“Actually, I agree with Ann on this. I’ve always found Diana worship to be distasteful.”

Me too. When she died my first husband was in the hospital dying of a rare form of cancer. He had just turned 30yrs old. Every T.V. in every empty room up and down that hall was tuned to the circus covering her death and funeral. It was a fairly quiet hall and that sh!t echoed all over the place. I got so sick of it, I asked the nurses if they could turn those t.v.s off. The answer was “We have them on so we can watch the funeral while we make our rounds.” Yes, I said, “I understand that, but it is remarkably offensive to hear a bunch of people worshiping a dead princess who died because she and her boyfriend didn’t want their pictures taken. Our loved ones here are dying also and it isn’t because they are so rich and famous that people want their picture. Show a little respect for the patients and families who are here, please.” Within minutes every one of those televisions were silent. And the families of a few other patients thanked me.
I could not stand the vacuous, pointless Princess Diana and her death meant nothing to me. However, I do think Ann is going to catch a whole lotta hell for that remark.

Which is EXACTLY why she made the hateful remark. To draw attention to herself.
