I think most of us remember those days. And that is in part what makes some us so disappointed now. Over the years she seems to have gone down the wrong path but did so with her eyes open. I think she did care about clothes I remember seeing a documentry and it showed her having fittings and wanting her dress to swish when she danced she really revelled in the dresses she could buy and still does. She loves her designer gowns I recently read an article that she got so much in debt in part because she would get dresses and take so long deciding she would end up having to buy them. She spent and spends a ridicules amount on them. I think she got greedy once she became a member of the BRF and things opened up for her. Like a kid in a sweet shop! Andrew of course just let her go maybe if he had off been stronger and around more things would have been very different for them both. Also she tried to live the lifestyle how she perceived it should be lived when in reality most of the royals actually don't live that way. I always saw some of her actions as being very calculated and she never seemed to follow things through. Like the helicopter lessons, the carriage driving etc. She wanted to impress and get favour instead of being herself. Most of the royals who once thought she was great now can't stand her and it is hard to blame them with all her stunts. I don't think she will ever be allowed back into the family not after all she has done.
