Well, after seeing the interview the papers have all referenced to, I know three things…
1. After hearing the tone she used and also the way she acted during this interview, she knew exactly what she was doing. What she said about Diana and Sarah was meant exactly how many of us have thought, only when paired w/the sneery snotty tone she used, it actually came across as much worse.
Was Diana perfect? Of course not, but what good comes out of someone attacking a dead person so long since they've passed? None AFAIC and it certainly does make the person saying such things come across as a rather nasty piece of work, not to mention a rather sad one as well. Sure it's got people talking about Princess Michael yet again, but it's nothing to be proud of due to her, yet again, seeking attention in the worst possible way.
2. The Cdn Press are calling this, rightfully I might add, as one of the more bizarre interviews a Member of the Royal Family has ever given and have they ever got that one right. She does tell the interviewer (I'll get into him in a moment) at the beginning she won't be talking about the Family and he knows that, but it was the way she did it that was so odd. She acted like a giggly Schoolgirl at the first, but then quickly changed tack as soon as she was given a chance to "to dish" about Diana and Sarah and became all coy and mysterious.
For once, a headline for an article wasn't overstepping the mark, but was dead on target. Her behaviour truly was odd and bizarre.
3. Of all the people she could have done this interview w/, she couldn't have picked a worse person than in the form of Conrad Black if she was truly serious of getting good promotion for her book.. The man's a snake to begin w/, but also guaranteed to stir up curiosity and get her attention just because of Black being what he is. Even so, it still only got enough attention to have the Globe and Mail mention the bizarreness of is due to the Princess' behaviour and then to pan the show itself as a sad attempt for Black to try and get back into journalism. Which it is and combine that w/the fact his show's on one of the smallest networks in Canada and considering his reputation, I can't see it lasting for a long time.
I don't have a problem w/her going out to promote her book, if she was serious about it. Everytime she does have a book due out though, it never fails. She always ends up stirring the pot and saying things about Diana or Sarah or whatever about the Family. Which gets her in the Papers for all the reasons she says she can't talk about.
As sentences on the written page can be twisted and I heard the interview was about to be re aired, thought I'd check it out. The papers actually made it sound better than what the Interview actually was. Sad too she feels the need to do this.
