Diana Wanted to Become America's First Lady

NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2006 — In his new blockbuster book, "The Way We Were," Paul Burrell says that Princess Diana had ambitions to become the first lady of the United States.
"She knew a billionaire in America, and she suggested to him that if they were together. … His yearning to run in politics could lead to the White House, that one day she could be the first lady and she'd visit Britain on a state visit," Diana's former butler and confidant said to "Good Morning America's" Kate Snow in an exclusive interview.
Burrell said that in the mid-1990s Diana had dreamed of following in the footsteps of stylish first ladies.
"She's been a huge fan of Jackie Onassis for years, and a huge admirer, too, of Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton. But Jackie Onassis had the edge. And she fantasized about redecorating the White House," Burrell said.
"It wasn't a fantasy. It could have been a reality. It really could. They would have been a golden couple."
While the mystery man in New York had political connections, he was not the love of Princess Diana's life.
Neither was Prince Charles or Dodi Al Fayed, Burrell said, who dismisses claims that Diana was engaged to Fayed when they died in a Paris car crash.
"She was not going to marry Dodi Al Fayed, because there was someone else in her life. She had a soul mate, and she'd fallen in love with someone else," he told Snow.

As in Mayor of New York?
Demise of a US president? Did I miss something or is Slick still laughing at us?
You miss my point. Lewinsky was a nothing, a nobody, and no one thought of her any differently. You could exchange her with any woman out of the phonebook and no one would have noticed.
Diana, OTOH, was worshipped and given 'gravitas' by both the media and her fans. For all the empty space between her ears, Diana could not have been replaced by anyone else. She had "it", whatever "it" is. Having said that, she was personally a non-entity.
Yes. It has to be Trump.
Either she's a tramp or she was a terrible judge of character because you can't count on one hand the number of men who claimed to have had an affair with her. Dollars to dounts that Princes Harry and Charles share no DNA.
John John at the time had dreams of becoming a 'self made' media billionaire mogul and then running for Hillary's Senate seat. (even though George Magazine was floundering)
Physics is a harsh mistress.
Or harsh on the mistress, depending on how you look at it...
I almost NEVER laugh about an untimely death. But this was a long time ago and she did contribute to her own demise so...
LOL! and a badaboom!
This is a much more flattering photo,IMO.
Nancy Reagan married a Democrat

Sorry she died, but in my humble opinion, Britain lost nothing.
The evidence does not support your claim.
Soros was not native born.
Thank you...thank you... I'll be here all week... Remember to tip you waitress...
Harry looks way too much like Philip.
And watch the physics of Gravity ;)
Mucho gratsias...she really is a pretty gal. But not sure if she had all cylinders firing under the hood.
Hell of alot better than Hitlery that's fer shur...
IMO, Diana wanted the satisfaction of going back to the UK on a state visit and sticking it to her sworn enemy Camilla Parker Bowles.
Notice how much she looked like his former girlfriend, Ms. Hannah?
