Replaced by Jade Goody as the people's princess. Who had a somewhat different view of people with different skin colours.

You are not exactly correct. Jade's father was black & outside of the Big Brother spat with Shilpa Shetty, which was appalling, you'd be very hard pressed to find other racist utterances from her. It was more friction about class and privilege between Jade & Shilpa, and Jade being coarse & gobby.

You'd also be hard pressed, like Di outside of Express readers, who cares these days. A touching legacy to the world.

I agree, Gez. Some candles in the wind come from Fortnum and Mason's, others come from the Pound Shop down The Blue in Bermondsey. We all too often forget how ephemeral we all are ..... especially in this short attention-span world.
