Perhaps Diana's legacy is that we are still discussing her? That says something about the impact she made and continues to make surely? She was human, good, bad, flawed, like us all?
Thank you. I believe part of why she is remembered so much is those of us who did grow up with her found her to be part of our daily life. She was in the media especially the newspapers on a daily basis, not always for her royal engagements but on many occasions, yes for her work. That woman had a work ethic she took seriously and I am aware DOC is in a different position, she is not married to the heir to the throne.

I think that my experience was different from that of the other women. I identified with her more when she was a very young woman and less so once she was in her 30s. Perhaps if I had gone through a separation and divorce, I'd feel differently. Her experience mirrored what was becoming increasingly common throughout the 80s and 90s: marriage breakdown.
I agree with the above, one of the saddest things about Diana's death was that her life at the time seemed rather chaotic and unsettled - a sort of crossroads I suppose. By now, all the problems of those last few years would surely have been forgotten about and the hype would have been more manageable and less intense.
mmm, I'm not too sure about it. It would all depend on what Diana's life would be like now... not to mention all the more annoying comparisons... who know what she would be up to now...
Well yes, I see what you're saying and of-course who knows what the last 18 years would have brought. I've just always had the idea in my mind that living such lifestyle in the media spotlight, doing things deemed to be controversial etc etc would be difficult to sustain or live with.
I'm not saying either she would have got bored or the media would, but I just can't imagine that should would have still been living the same lifestyle now as she was then.
None of us know what would have happened.
However it is certain that everyone will never stop to discuss for Diana.
