Criticism of Princess Diana
I had nothing but absolute love for Diana since I first got to know her and this was about 10 years ago when I read her biography by Morton.
However today my opinion is starkly different. I don't look at her the same way anymore. In fact my opinion has taken a 180 degree turn and I have even begun to hate Diana and only grateful for the fact that she brought some fame or rather infamy to the royal family.
I believe Christopher Hitchens on his opinion on Diana. Hitchens called her a rich, aristocrat, bratty, spoilt rotten, gold digger narcissist, party girl, self centered, self absorbed, selfish, and a huge victim player. Remember how narcissists love to play victim.
If I have to apply my narcissistic diagnostic chart to Diana, everything fits perfectly. She has behaved completely like a narcissist.
Almost to the T.
Christopher Hitchens describes the biggest facade of the century called Princess Diana in this video.
She was an airhead. She wasn't helping people out of her pocket but through charities. She would stay at her hotels and simply hug sick people around the world and then run off to a party.
She was paid millions in her divorce. Because the Queen wasn't happy with Diana trashing the Royal family.
She knew that she couldnt marry Dodi and so she was simply using the guy as a sort of vendetta against the Royals
She is pathetic in her portrayal as a weak poor vulnerable girl before marriage to Charles. If she never wanted to marry him, then why did she marry him? She could have pulled herself out before getting married, she didn't do this because she loved the throne more than Charles. Charles even if he didn't love her, married her,gave her a royal status and all the wealth in the world, of course he couldn't love her, yet he compensated for it by giving her respect and dignity, which he took advantage of, she took all the power she had for granted, and used to prop herself through victimhood by trashing her husband publicly and the royal family. The royal family on the other hand did everything to respect serve and protect her.
Diana wasn't born in poverty. Poor people don't get the chance to hang around with Prince Charles at the age of 16. Diana was born in the aristocrat Spencer family that had ties to the Royal family and all her sisters had married millionaires. Diana had no shortage of money or good upbringing. She went to the best schools and had the best things to be surrounded with
Her own sister was dating Prince Charles. And when the sister refused to marry Charles, that's when Diana seized the opportunity to date Charles. What kind of a sister dates a man who dated her sister? How embarrassing and betraying is that?
Yet Diana saw an opportunity she couldn't let go. She knew well what she was getting into. She also knew that Charles liked Camilla yet she wanted to prove that she was the winner. She was going to have what other women couldn't. She was going to win the man that all women wanted. Her good looks and young age worked in her favor over the older women around Charles. She took full advantage of this. She was fully aware that she would be the future Queen if Charles became King. She clearly saw a big jackpot in Charles. She wore the most excessively vulgar gown at her wedding, it was a bit too much because Diana was so drunk in power, she wanted to flaunt to the maximum.
Also when did Diana dress modestly? Almost each of her Public experiences were her wearing the most stylish expensive designer dresses funded by the royal fund and in the expensive jewels
She got a huge settlement in divorce. Goldigger. She never discloses this in any of her interviews. She had no kind words for her husband not even once. Could he have been that worse as a husband?
Then why wasn't he trashing her in public?
He did not trash her even once. He was resenting how she would go around trashing him and using her popularity to get against him, and this was portrayed to the public as his jealousy towards her. This was clearly her propaganda.
Prince Charles was very clear he did not cheat on Diana when things were going well between the two. He wanted to love Diana he wanted to respect her, but she kept pushing her away. She kept playing games with him. He was getting tired of her and he wanted to look for comfort because the marriage to her was wearing him out since she was very difficult to be around with, especially with her constant victimhood and bratty entitled behavior, this caused him to stay away from Diana, and then find comfort in other women, mostly Camilla who gave him the emotional support he needed.. Charles wanted the marriage to work, Diana didn't.
A woman who wanted her marriage to work wouldn't be spending her time jetsetting around the world, party with her famous friends, do fake humanitarian acts, stay away from her own kids, the kids were always with the nanny Tiggy. The nanny spent more time with the kids than Diana did. Diana always made sure that whenever she was with the kids, she was always photographed. So much for the privacy of her kids that she would always strut her kids around many of her famous public experiences. Why wouldn't she shield her children from the press if she had such a huge problem with privacy and the press.
Diana complained endlessly about the press. Yet every time she attended an event, there she was, always dressed in her best,stepping out of her car, right in front of the cameras. You would think with the kind of security the royal palace gave her, given her own team of PR agents, especially given the propensity of the royal family to keep matters private, Diana would put these amenities and facilities to good use, yet every time she attended a public event, she made no effort to keep her entry or presence a secret, she never entered a building from the back door, why is that? Diana had every other protection from the Royal palace to keep her stuff as private as possible, it's Diana who wouldn't want her presence to be unknown, she wanted to be as flashy as possible, she loved the press attention, it gave her the Narcissistic supply she wanted
She was enjoying every bit of the public attention that she was getting
I've read Diana's biography over and over. It was a woman protesting public attention, her husband's affair with Camilla, her family, her freedom.
If we pick apart each and every part that Diana complained about, there are many too contradictions and holes in her story.
How?
Beginning with public attention.
Diana did her best to manipulate the press and the media in her favor. The media and public loved her, they did not hate her.
Things published about her were positive things, because people liked reading things about her, she had such a hold that even today journalists would be scared to write anything negative about her.
The only time that she wanted the press to be off her back was when she was doing nefarious things like having clandestine affairs with men while she was married with kids. Because she didn't want to be exposed. She didn't want people to see how she was having fun with all the loser men she chose to hang out with, since it would be a huge contrast to her image as a humanitarian.
In hindsight Diana did more damage to her humanitarian causes than good. She only supported them superficially, causing such organizations to not be taken seriously in terms of work. She used these causes as cheap photo opportunities. These causes were left unattended and unprovided for once she left for her hotel rooms in her luxury cars. The misery she witnessed could no longer touch her once she was in her five star hotels and palaces.
Her husbands affair with Camilla. Well. Diana incessantly complained about how her husband spent time with Camilla yet she herself had sex with the palace help. How was that going to help her marriage?
Diana once confronted Camilla. Camilla told her "you have everything, all the men in the world love you, you have kids, what more do you want?"
Diana replied "I want my husband."
Well, if Diana wanted her husband so bad, as she asserts it, why would she have feelings for other men, why would she sleep with them? And it wasn't just one man. It was several men. How can she profess love for her husband, meanwhile showing affection to other men. That's her hypocrisy. In truth, Diana did not want Charles. Diana simply wanted the idea of Charles. She wanted Charles under her thumb. She wanted to dominate and use him. She wanted to party with all other men and come home to Charles and expect her husband to calmly put up with her transgressions.. She saw Charles as a meek man that she could control. She completely underestimated him. He wasn't the meek guy who was going to put up with her antics. So he fled from her arms and into the arms of Camilla. Diana hated this instantly. Because she saw that she could not control her husband. He wasn't going to be her puppy dog. He had his own self even though he brought up in a very closed environment. He had the will power of his mother and grandmother, the strong bloodline he came from.
Charles publicly had only one affair that began in 1986, with Camilla. Before that he had a platonic relationship with Camilla. Charles was a honest man, Diana wasn't.
Diana was already having an affair in 1984. Much before Charles would start his.
The truth is that Diana never really liked or loved Charles, but wanted to boss him around, yet show him no affection and still want him to protect her at all costs.
She wanted to push him away but still expected him to show her love. A characteristic narcissistic trait. Something my ex would always do. Push me away yet expect me to worship him.
Diana's bulimia was not anyone's fault but her own. She was an insecure woman even if she was the most beautiful woman in the world, which is a great irony. Diana didn't want to look fat, that would make people like her less so she was too strict with what she ate. And intentionally starved herself leading to her eating disorder. It's a well known fact that Diana would eat and later vomit it all out. This was her way of punishing her own body because she cared a bit too much about how she looked in her regal attires. She was too self absorbed and fashion conscious to think about health. She was reckless, insane, difficult to be around, cared too much about herself, aggressive, selfish, wouldn't take no for an answer, test others boundaries, didn't have an iota of self control, neither self respect. She slept with whoever she cast her eyes on. Even if they were married men
For a woman who claims to be hurt because her husband was taken by another woman, wouldn't it be hypocritical of her to romance with married men. What about their wives? Did she care about their wives?
Diana destroyed the men in her life. She used them. She used them as boy toys. My scathing judgement of Diana comes from knowing that she was the woman who I adored for a decade. I considered her my greatest role model. Reading nonsense about her made me realize that I could not ignore what was being said about her and now that i uncovered a lot of truth about her, it's a massive betrayal
I was a massive fan of the Princess. I collected every thing I could about her. I held to her every word. I trusted her. I believed her. I cried watching her funeral videos. This is the woman who I looked up to.
And now to realize that what I thought of her was only a mirage, is a massive shock to my system. Diana betrayed her fans, in true cult leader style.
Diana had a God complex, a true narcissistic cult leader globe trotting photogenic personality. Diana used emotions of the public to manipulate them so that she could rebel against the royal family in a bid to upstage them. Diana was basically playing her A game to the hilt. She was self absorbed self indulgence fanatic, extremely devious and manipulative who profited on her innocent face and capitalized on people's emotions, used her victimhood to punish the royal family for not putting up with her antics, making herself the victim got her centerstage attention, although she did not care how it would impact her husband's mental health or that of her children.
She left her children motherless and orphaned because her reckless indulgent affair with Dodi was more important than her duties as a mother. Partying was important, her own image was important to her, Diana was heavily invested in creating an image that the world would fall in love with, like a cult leader does, Diana betrayed all her lovers because she never really loved anyone.
For a woman who hugs her children so lovingly, she did not contact her children even for a whole month before her death. She had no time for kids or husband, they were simply for her image. She did not care to interact with them. Yet she was always wanted to be rewarded with affection from those who she neglected. This was her self entitled narcissistic nature.
Diana never took responsibility for her actions but always blamed others for whatever went wrong in her life.
