6. I do respect her landmine campaign...
For the rest, she was IMO a well-meaning but not-very-brainy upper-class young woman, who was totally out of her depth in the royal family. She was a celebrity because of whom she married, not because of anything that she did. She was hounded by the press, who then exploited her death.

It WAS sad that she died so young, but many others have died young every day, without it resulting in all this media hoopla and conspiracy theories. I bet she'd have hated it, if she'd known. One of the main lessons as far as I'm concerned is to always wear your seatbelt (I admit that I sometimes don't!)
