Princes Di

Princess Diana died 10 years ago. She was, according to her younger son, "the best mother in the world."

Somewhat less officially, a 52-year-old man had painted "Diana" on his forehead, and "the truth?" on his cheek. Like many others, dismayed by Di's death, he believes that the truth is out there.

The blogosphere isn't abuzz with "the people's princess," but we're not facing the threat of a dilessness, either. Here are a few I found, after a quick search:

• "Diana, the People's Princess"

• "Let's Talk Romance / The (American) People's Princess"

• "Technorati's Princess Diana Home Page Blog"
  (Pages of links to blogs about Di)
• " Anatomy of a Diana Tell-All"

  Read this blog post, and you won't have to buy another Di Bio.

If you're interested, you'll find more with a 'princess di' or 'people's princess' inquiry at an adequate search site.

I can understand the fascination Princess Diana holds. She was young, good looking, dressed well, and expressed great interest in a large number of high-profile social issues. In terms of cultural icon, she has the potential to become a British Elvis.

A Macedonian nun died a few days after the People's Princess. But that's for another post: "Mother Teresa of Calcutta"
