What was it about Diana, Princess of Wales that brought such huge numbers
of people from all walks of life literally to their knees after her death in
1997? What was her special appeal, not just to British subjects but also to
people the world over? A late spasm of royalism hardly explains it, even in
Britain, for many true British monarchists despised her for cheapening the royal
institution by behaving more like a movie star or a pop diva than a princess. To
many others, however, that was precisely her attraction. Diana was beautiful, in
a fresh-faced, English, outdoors-girl kind of way. She used her big blue eyes to
their fullest advantage, melting the hearts of men and women through an
expression of complete vulnerability. Diana’s eyes, like those of Marilyn
Monroe, contained an appeal directed not to any individual but to the world at
large. Please don’t hurt me, they seemed to say. She often looked as if she were
on the verge of tears, in the manner of folk images of the Virgin Mary. Yet she
was one of the richest, most glamorous and socially powerful women in the world.
This combination of vulnerability and power was perhaps her greatest asset. |
