The issue with Diana wasn't that she became more popular than other members of the family but that she actively, at least during the latter part of her marriage, used her popularity to outshine both her husband and the institution of monarchy itself.that's the case with all royals..and indeed famous people. What we see in public is partgly "fantasy". Diana had a special quality, NOT like Hitler's charisma.. whichmade her popular over and above the many women who marry into royal families
By doing so and by playing to the media like she did, Diana crossed the threshold between royal and celebrity something that threw the monarchy into a decade of turmoil not seen since the abdication and in the end led to that fatal carcrash in a Parisian tunnel.
Most crown princesses and queens are more popular and have a higher profile than their husbands but they also realise that their main job is to support their husband and not become the main attraction themselves.
