As far as Junor's assertion that Diana was mentally unbalanced, I think there are enough facts out there from which an objective person could draw the conclusion that Diana was mentally unbalanced.

Penny Junor has ameneded her attitudes about the royal marriage: she has her sympathies about all sides. I think she is a very deep monarchist rather than a very pro-Charles author. Actually Jonathan Dimbleby, Penny Junor, Sally Bendall Smith and some royal biographies all have doubts about Diana's mental problems. Jonathan Dimbleby was the first one to seek the expert opnion but his chapter about Diana's mental problem was dropped from the 1994 Charles's authorised biography under Charles's objection of course.He mentioned in his perface which is a very interesting information: Charles asked him not to harm any alive person because of this book. But his view about Diana's mental problems was further reviewed and studied by later royal biographies. If they believe so,they all seek expert opninions and suggestions from different experts and then they may make the conclusion that Diana may suffer from BPD. So Penny Junor was the first one to publish such assertions after Diana's death.
It is a fact that Diana did display so many symptoms about very complex mental problems.I have a little bit doubts as well but I am not an expert I have no ability to make such a judgment.
