Maybe you've missed some of the simpering news reports I've managed to catch. Anyway... I get where you're coming from. But I had no respect for her in life. She had famous parents and consequently had many opportunities opened to her that were not open to more talented people. It's very sad that such a young woman has died leaving little children, and it's just awful for her family... I feel for them all. But that's as far as it goes for me. And please... don't emphasise the word 'respect' like you have more idea of what it means than I do. I merely save it for people who've done something to earn it.

to be fair, what ever she did with her life, it never stopped any of us living ours.
having famous parents is not always a good thing, and i dont think her mum dying at 11 gave her the opportunites she was looking for, it was adults that gave a child those oppotunities.

I don't think what I've said disagrees with anything you've said there. I was never a fan, and her dying doesn't change that. But similarly it doesn't alter the fact that I acknowledge it's a tragic waste of a young life and it's just awful for her family.
