I dunno, doesn't seem to me like enough to justify murder, at least not once she and Charles were divorced. (I mean, not that murder is ever justified, but in the mind of the state, as it were.) > She wasn't able to fulfil her allotted > role - a role for which she was a willing volunteer remember. Not many girls her age and background would have the foresight and self-knowledge to turn down the role because they realized it would be too much for them. And she did a pretty impressive job with the public part of the role, the royal appearances and charities and causes and so on. Plus which, it looked like she was a very good mother to the heirs. Somehow she was able to compartmentalize and not let the disaster the marriage had become get in the way of doing right by the kids. Of course they'd have had to be affected by the marital troubles, not to mention her post-divorce behavior, not to mention her violent death when they were still so young. But from here, at least, it appears the way she brought them up made them secure enough to deal with all that. Harry looks to be a bit flaky, but William seems solid and responsible, if not terribly inspiring. For me, Diana was a profoundly tragic figure, not one to be scorned and reviled. I like Charles, but I don't think he was blameless by any means. > Kate Middleton looks like the right stuff to me.

I can't tell much about Kate's personality yet, but so far it doesn't seem like there's a lot of it. Maybe that's an advantage. The two of them did manage the birth nicely (again, from here).
