"thrist for celebrity"?? where do you get off? the women spent most of her
life hiding from the press, the only time she was really ok with publicity
was when she was trying to draw attention to a cause.

yeah. someone who worked so hard to stop landmines, help find a cure for
aids, and more is really an "airhead". i'd like to know what you've done to
better the world. and of course she is mourned. she's DEAD.

you know why Diana gets more attention than Kate? because she is DEAD. she
died a terrible death. she did her best in her lifetime to show love and
compassion towards all people. she's more well known than Kate because she
was the Princess of Wales for christssake. Kate is a musician who was MUCH
more able to hide from the public then Diana was. Fewer people know who
Kate is because she is a MUSICIAN. not a princess. and music is a very
subjective taste. Kate touched my world and many other's through music, but
it is stupid to assume that she would touch everyones. not everyone likes
her type of music.
