I agree with you that the late Diana was so iconic, that it is hardly imagineable that someone would 'replace' her. But don't forget she died in her prime, so to speak. This year she would have celebrated her 50th birthday and maybe she was set to become grandmother. That is a completely different Diana than the beautiful slender youthful blonde aristocratic lady which has been set in our image, of course.
You are right in that the world will only remember the youthful, iconic image of Diana. Had she lived, it would have interesting to see if she would truely have been able to build a life for herself independent of the BRF. It would also have been interesting to see how she would have reacted to her sons growing up and finding partners, and the introduction of those partners to public life. How would Diana have coped with the fame of Princess William, and would she have been a meddlesome mother-in-law... these are all questions we would never have the answers to.
