I remember the saga of Princess Di so well. I even remember seeing her wedding to Charles on TV when I was a kid. It's hard to explain to Millennials and GenZ the paparazzi's global obsession with her. They royals did her wrong. But the media was vicious too. All of them against a woman who truly underneath was a simple person, and I don't mean it negatively when I say of average intelligence, who wasn't even college educated (back when college really educated brighter minds). It was all so tragic.
I don't remember Rosalyn Carter much but I feel oddly a bit sad O'Connor passed away.
Diana was simply not a good choice for the role she was meant to play. Her family background (her parents' bitter divorce when she was 7) was not good preparation for leading a life full of demanding pressures while married to a man who had always been in love with someone else.
Under the circumstances, Charles ought to have chosen a woman closer to his own age who understood that this was essentially an arranged marriage, and who was willing to provide an heir and spare, behave graciously in public, and have quiet alternative plans for her future happiness in the marriage if Charles strayed.
Unfortunately, Diana either didn't realize or didn't cope well with the fact that she was basically a suitable virgin of appropriate lineage. It wasn't really fair to expect so much from her.
Diana was obsessed with her boys and what was best for them. She didn't like the royals, and they understandably grew exasperated with her. She didn't know what to do with her life after separating from Charles and filled it up with the empty spectacle and bad decisions that the media focused on.
