THE TEARS OF A CLOWN

It was ten years ago today

It?s the tenth anniversary of Princess Diana?s untimely death in a French road tunnel and how the media is full of it. This morning the two major channels covered the church service commemorating her death and f course there are thousands of words of text in the newspapers about the subject.

Does anyone tire of this scene, this mass grieving for someone most of us never met? I am ever incredulous at the supposed interest after all these years and can only assume that it is stoked up by a media who short of genuine stories to print and broadcast. This may all sound a little harsh and certainly I?d admit to being no fan of the royal family - far from it, but I find the way that the story of her life is continuously foisted on the public to be tiresome and transparent. It?s time they let it go and has been for a long period of time.

Most of us have lost loved ones along the way. I don?t see any vast outpouring of grief for those close to me and others, who have departed - after a much harder life than the Princess?s. It was a shame when she died, time to let it go now.
