I see your point and shouldn't have spouted off so quickly... I've never understood some folks fascination with royalty. Perhaps I'm a bit cynical after witnessing the amount of press Princess Dianna received vs. Mother Teresa.

I'm with you 100% on that!!! The way the media compared the two was utterly disgusting!!! They were about as far apart as two people can be in so many ways!

Di received all the attention precicely because she disgraced the royal family. She was the PC Princess with all of Hollywood backing her. She had met all the requirements by leaving her husband and the father of her children and then running away with the Arabic playboy in order to add double.

Only in this sense do I feel genuine sympathy towards the royal family. And of course for the Queen for her ill health.
