Well, I think it's safe to say that Diana did suffer from psychological issues, such as low self esteem and a distorted sense of herself, hence her bulimia. But to say she suffered from paranoid schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder isn't a call anyone should make, unless they were treating her directly in a doctor/patient relationship-which, obviously, this author was not. Of course, to be fair, it's impossible for any of us to judge that she didn't suffer from such disorders, since we never treated her, either. The fact that she managed to maintain such a composed professional role for an extended period of time, under intense scrutiny by press and public, raises doubt that she suffered from anything more than certain psychological quirks-something which can be applied to most people.Madame Royale said:'If' Diana in any way suffered from a psychological disorder then I do say shame on those who have for years spoken ill of her in ways which would be a clear reflection upon any mental hurdle she faced.
Of course It doesn't Elspeth, but people will continue to go to lengths so as to claim "their" piece of what was, really, a tragic life. How pathetically sad in every possible way
My first ever angry face...hope I never feel the need to use that again!
I doubt that this man, who was a 'friend of Prince Charles' was exposed to Diana's private self, and is making his judgement based on her public persona and the War of the Waleses, when neither Charles nor Diana acted all that rationally. How pathetic that he feels the need to make this claim at all, much less for money.
