I don't think this would have gotten anywhere near as much as media attention if Diana hadn't been royalty, do you? That's not her fault, obviously, but this media attention, and the over-reaction to her death irritates me.

Yet consider this.
Those 3000 lives together don't mean as much as Diana as a mother to William and Harry.
I'd feel the same!
If my mum died, her life would mean more to me than 3000 strangers.
They shouldn't not celebrate just cos people are sick of seeing her face in the media.
Edit: And thank you Billy, that was my point. Although she may not have directly affected someones life - she was still someones mother, someones daughter, a sister, wife etc. They celebrated amongst themselves, it's just unfortunate the media act on it like prey.
