I didn't realize that it was staged. The outpouring wherever she went/did/said seemed genuine. And during/after the divorce, the vast majority seemed to be on her side. That comment fascinates me. Do tell ...

I was referring to the press and so on calling her 'The People's Princess' and the 'Princess of Hearts' before she died. When she did that interview on TV about her marriage to Charles and the separation that followed.

A lot of the stuff that went on after her death also seemed very staged. Again, I am referring more to how it was portrayed in the press and how a lot of that national 'grief' was facillitated and encouraged by the press.
