Emotional incontinence and the cult of Diana
Last night a tribute to Princess Diana was transmitted on ITV. The film showed that, 20 years after her death, Princes William and Harry are still grieving.
It’s not just that, even now, they miss the mother so brutally snatched from them at such a young age. They are still forlornly trying to manage lives ripped apart by the breakdown of their parents’ marriage.
This was all most deeply touching. We felt their pain. Yet wasn’t that exactly where the whole Diana thing spun out of control?
