she was by far the most humble and kind hearted royal.

Obviously both reasons led to her assassination.

Think about all of the film and TV out there that is not aimed at young audiences, especially productions outside of America and Hollywood, where having good looking characters isn't a requirement. I can honestly think of over a hundred productions (on tv, film and theatre), that I've seen, where the entire main cast consisted of either fat, balding, old, disabled, or extremely unconventional looking lead actors. You see it more in independent art house type productions, and in a lot of productions outside of the USA. But there are still films that have even come out of Hollywood where the lead actor/actors aren't "pin ups". I watched that film' Precious' a few nights ago.
