“I have come to the conclusion that she was a devious moron. One of the things I have been puzzled by is why her whole life was such a mess. She made a mess of being Princess of Wales, but that is fine because the job is not do-able. It is an insane job and, in history, all but one of the Princesses of Wales have come to a sticky end — stickier than hers.
“I am also interested in why she couldn’t manage life after being Her Royal Highness. It still puzzles me that she does that no-no thing: she sleeps with married men.
“… And this is the angel that people want to crown.”
— Germaine Greer, author of “The Female Eunuch,” on Princess Diana, quoted at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Aug. 18 by Ireland On-Line.
