My wife is British and where we live (Spain) is loaded with British expats. Very few I have met or spoken with could give a rat’s behind about Diana or any of the other royals.

I was really very saddened about Diana...rushed out and bought all the mags and the Elton John cd...

but somebody posted on the Internet a comparison between Diana and Mother Theresa...

I then realized how ridiculous this adulation was.....

one who gave everything, vs one who spent $200,000 a year on personal "maintenance"...

All of them referred to as the 'Dims"

I interviewed a US Navy submariner who sailed in and out of the US base in Spain. He said Spain was his choice for a place to live if Hell broke lose in the US...

As you may be aware of, there is a large segment of the U.S. population who adore British royalty. I’m not sure why. It might be because we have no actual royalty here, or perhaps it is just a branch of celebrity worship.

I could never understand the fascination with Diana or the entire monarchy for that matter.

Yeah, we don’t give a damn at Free Republic either.
