” the people’s princess “
Yea ...just what “ the people “ need ...
Because it's not true until the pancake flipper says so. :-)
It was the horrific maudlin demonstration at Diana’s funeral that drove home to me the fact that the Endland of a “stiff upper lip” was long gone....
A message which most of humanity failed to grasp.
Seriously, she's one of the most over-rated Brits of all time. I hope she doesn't become their Elvis. One is too many as it is.
PING
I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard that Diana had died. When I think back on it I am filled with the same feeling of...yawn.
Yes, I was just loving it, seeing the fawning by the press over Diana, then having the force themselves to provide fair coverage of Theresa, lest they be accused of something.
I am so sick of hearing about that skank.

zzzZZZzzz....
I’m sorry, I reached the Princes Di news overload some time ago.
Yes it is!
Excellent movie! Helen Mirren was awesome.
Unfortunately a lot of folks I know never saw it because of this Diana overload.
They missed a performance that justifiably got the Oscar nod.
Helen is quite the feisty, charming lady. Did you see her interview with oops forgot his name on 60 minutes a while ago? She’s got a sparkle and liveliness which is fun to see and I admire her greatly.
“The Queen” is one of those movies you love to see again and again because of her superior talent. Michael Sheen who protrayed Tony Blair was very good as well.
If you’re interested in British made movies see “Sense and Sensibility” with Emma Thompon and Kate Winslet. Emma wrote the screenplay and acted in it and it is my favorite movie ever.
Bunches.
Agreed. It was a great movie.
OMG, LOL! You sound like (well maybe better) a professional reviewer!
who'd of thunk it?
