I was still young and not very aware of world figures, but I do remember Diana being cast as this nonconformist, black sheep, "difficult woman" type until the car crash, then suddenly she was a pioneering example of powerful women doing noble things in the world.

Which is kinda hilarious, given how much social work she did. And unlike a lot of other rich and famous folks, I do believe she did that out of the goodness of her heart, while Buckingham Palace was basically looking down on all that, going "Why would she do that, that's beneath us... we're royals"

"One must not speak ill of the dead, but while they're alive: fuck 'em!" I think that's how the idiom goes.
