Every year I asked “why?”
Lots of famous people have died in the past 25 years. Why is her death still talked about? I would say that people talk more about her passing than 9/11.
I don’t get it.
She was a beautiful, stylish, outspoken, kind outsider in a family that is steeped in racism and insularity and was hounded literally to death by the press over it.
I never understood the affection the rank-and-file English held for Elizabeth I until I encountered Diana (I was in Britain when she died and had been for some years).

I guess I can understand a little bit if Brits keep talking about her but the US has nothing to do with the royals.
My bad joke every time the topic of her or her kids come up is “didn’t we fight a war to not care about them?”
There is a long history we share with the British, both good and bad. Anglophiles are quite common in the US. Given the relationship “American’s Hat” (sorry Canada) has with the British Monarchy, it makes at least a little sense that we’d feel some attachment to it as well.
Yeah I know, I took history in high school too, but that was hundreds of years ago, so the attachment makes no sense.
Probably because the people who loved her so much also feel that they contributed to the circumstances that led to her death
Isn’t it made by the same director who made a film about Jackie Kennedy? It seems his main focus of movies is tragic historical women.
I wasn’t talking about the movie, just the overall obsession with this woman 25 years after her death.
if only she can see what happen to her son Harry. He’s really messed.
Diana was one of us. She had genuine humility and empathy. She did what was right for her two boys to be raised ‘non-traditional’.
To me she was the female Steve Irwin, light hearted progressive.
I’ll be honest i hope that these words can give some awareness to the lovely mother she was.
Came to off-topic here to make a topic that i now can’t remember…
