This was in the news of the world today...

TROUBLED BRITNEY SPEARS thinks she's gone from Pop Princess to the People's Princess.

I can reveal that the fading star has developed an unhealthy obsession with PRINCESS DIANA—and has even taken to calling herself Diana Prince.

I also hear that troubled Brit, who lost her kids to ex KEVIN FEDERLINE last week, has told pals she's convinced she could meet the same tragic end as Princess Di.

A close friend of Britney's told me: "She's utterly obsessed with Princess Diana. We're worried about it.

"She's turned one of the rooms in her house into a shrine to Di — there's photos, books and cheap souvenirs everywhere.

"Britney has told people she truly believes she and Diana share the same path, the same destiny! She's taken to surrounding herself with anything connected with the princess."

Britney's visitor's pass that, for some reason, she needs to get into her OWN home in Malibu shows new codename... Diana Prince.

I'm told Britney also wants to buy Diana's wedding dress. She has become so keen to get her hands on a copy of the dress worn by Diana when she wed PRINCE CHARLES in 1981, she's even talked about contacting the designer dressmaker ELIZABETH EMANUEL directly.

My source added: "People close to Britney think it's weird but no one dares tell her as she is so vulnerable right now. Anything could tip her over the edge.

"We're all very worried as her behaviour is getting weirder by the day."

And surprise, surprise, my snapper shot some of that "weird behaviour" this week—when Brit was out and about with no underwear on yet AGAIN.

She was pictured clambering into a car after shopping in Beverly Hills.

Britney is also reeling after one of her homes was broken into.

LA cops were called at the weekend after the singer suspected a burglar had scaled the two perimeter walls at her £6m mansion in Beverly Hills.

It happened while she was out with record producer and former lover JR Rotem.

Afterwards she asked photographers outside to show her the way to her Malibu house.
