[QUOTE="MidnightBlue, post: 15776974, member: 111308"] I think it was a very odd tribute indeed to re-write the lyrics to "Goodbye, Norma Jean" in her honor. But the comparison between these two sad ladies, both on this earth such a short time, is painfully apt. It would have been better for her if she had not entered into a royal marriage with such naive and unrealistic expectations, but she's much to be admired for trying to use her position to do good works and help the less fortunate. I hope it's for her charity and compassion that she'll be remembered, and not for her tumultuous personal life. A note on titles. You already know the HRH isn't really proper. And she'd have been "Princess Diana of Wales" only if her father had been The Prince of Wales. - She was the Lady Diana Frances Spencer until her marriage. - Upon her marriage to the Prince of Wales, she became HRH The Princess of Wales. - After her divorce, she was Diana, Princess of Wales. It was never at any time proper to call her "Princess Diana," though it [i]would have been[/i] proper, during her marriage, to call her "Princess Charles." (Just as the wife of Prince Michael of Kent is called "Princess Michael of Kent" and never "Princess Marie-Christine.") [/QUOTE]
