Diana's reaction to the death of Versace is interesting. I'm not surprised that she was sad. I am surprised by her focus on herself. Her equating Versace's possible killing with danger to her own self, to me, indicates that Diana was quite insular. It's a very inward way of looking at another person's death, to then feel sorry for oneself. To me it indicates that Diana was concerned for herself. That doesn't mean that she was in actual danger but just that she was not in a state of mind to be capable of removing herself from a situation.
I think Diana had a personality disorder of some type or other. That is no crime and it doesn't warrant less respect of her. Regardless, Diana got stuck in and did meaningful public work. I think it explains some of the more vulnerable aspects of her personality though and the somewhat immature way that she courted the press.
As far as whether Diana had power. She had the ability to move the masses due to her popularity - that is a type of power. Mostly, Diana used her 'power' for good works and that remains her real legacy.
People with real power sometimes move and shake the World but are not remembered with such affection because their marks left behind are less kind.
Our greatest leaders are both powerful and mindful of the people's best interests.
If Diana had lived longer I don't think that she would have used any 'popularity power' that she did have to influence who the next King of England would have been.
She seemed over her dramatic media performances. Diana was enjoying her life and had no reason to revisit a time where her thoughts were delusional or overshadowed by the sadness of the collapse of her marriage.
