I have mixed emotions about her. On one hand, I think she is a tragic figure. She did not know what she was getting into when she married Prince Charles, and couldn't handle her loveless marriage being in the spotlight. On the other hand, much of her behavior subsequent to her marriage was totally asinine. Diana and the British monarchy would have been much better off if she had married some obscure aristocrat, and Charles had married Camilla in the 1970s. The royal offspring would not have been as photogenic, but that's the only downside I see in this scenario.

She grew up on an estate very near one of the Windsor residences. Her father at one time had hopes of marrying ELizabeth. Diana had hopes of marrying Andrew growing up. She knew exactly what she was getting, she was raised in it.
