I must confess to having something of an admiration for Diana's Machiavellian capacity to successfully manipulate the media and public. I rather enjoyed the story as a living novel about a lone young female, disabused of her romantic illusions and gaining revenge on the system and powers who used her. I think she was supposed to stay a meek and mild royal baby machine, but she turned the tables on them. I think she was innocent at the outset but became bloody savvy later on at projecting an image that the public adored. The fact that the younger son is a red-headed cuckoo is even funnier. Just a shame she waited until the heir to the throne was born before cuckolding Charlie in return..

I've always had a taste for anti-heroines as protagonists, but especially the burned and bitter ones who use 'feminine wiles', cunning and stealth to reek their vengeance. Fab!
