Any one who doesn't believe beloved Di used the media is living under a rock. Or they just really don't like Piers. Both scenarios sad. Diana was extremely savvy.

[@brentmeistergeneral6074]

Of course she did... how else did she spend millions of tax payers money whilst maintaining some false ‘holier than thou’ reputation amongst the public?

[@MTknitter22]

J F True, many people have no respect for Piers. He is a smear merchant. However, you are right. People freak out when we compare Diana with Meghan but in one big thing, sorry, they are alike. They love crowd and press attention. Diana played media like a violin, then later found she had created a monster. She crossed the Firm, told a lot of private stuff and the Queen never forgave that.

[@prayerpower1585]

@rando Thank you

[@niceguy235uk1]

Yeah, but piers thought he was her best buddy. LOL

[@shaunmaguire6912]

she was also mentally ill didnt she chuck her self down the stairs when she was pregnant

[@paulg6527]

Diana was never able and could not escape paparazzi or the media, like Piers said, they hunted her. So, I don't blame Diana for playing the media like a game of chess. Since she got entagled with Charles, the media attention on her was nonstop, I give her credit for not going manic and still able to maintain some form of composure when cameras and men constantly surround you everywhere you go. No other Royal was followed or hounded mores o than Diana.

[@SergheiRO]

The problem was not that Diana used the media or that the photographers wanted pictures with her. That is normal for such a high-profile, public person. The problem was that it got out of hand and dangerous and they kept on doing it. It was a fair game until it got to that point.

[@treasure2behold282]

Inspite of all her flaws , people still love Diana. Everyone knew she was manipulating the press, she was so charming, beautiful and magical. People are willing to forgive her for everything.

[@SergheiRO]

Of course she was manipulating the press. It was a quid pro quo. The relationship was assumed from both parties until the media overstepped the line in a major way.

[@carolking6355]

I think Harry should watch that. It would give him a better perspective.

[@droolies7079]

He doesn't believe she would do that and William hasn't been honest enough when the info needed to be all processed equally.

Few things to say: 1) Diana was complicated but she was a angel on this Earth. 2) Why hasn’t Charles ever been held accountable for the pain he caused her? 3) Harry and Meghan have not “modernised” the monarchy! They LEFT it!

[@blankiki]

One thing I dislike about Piers Morgan is not his ideas, views and opinions as every single human is entitled to express his views and opinions whether we like it or not, what I dislike is that he’s trying to convince or persuade the public and impose his own views and when you express the opposite he doesn’t like it. When he’s interviewing his guests on the morning show he doesn’t even let them express themselves with his constant interruptions. It’s so annoying, because everyone talks at the same times, it’s like a chicken barn. He comes across as rude, having someone on your show and constantly interrupting just because you don’t like what you hear.

[@laurienicosia3870]

Sound like an american show called THE VIEW

He is a Narcissist and Historic personality which is very similar to Narcissistic personality

[@MegaLWordFan]

@@anastasiaisabella7354 that is a typical narcissistic trait which I do believe Piers Morgan is. This is the first interview in which I see Piers didn't cut off the the other person while the other person spoke because this interviewer is letting him do most of the talking so he can be the centre of attention.

[@tasmaniantilly]

Maybe people should read Patrick Jephson’s book. He was her private secretary for 7 years. Although loyal to her his book is a revealing insight into Diana’s world. A must read from someone who saw the other side of her public image.

[@myfemvideo]

@@tasmaniantilly There's really nothing interesting in that book. He says that Diana sometimes had a bad temper. But her life and her marriage were chaotic, so I would expect her to be moody.

[@henridelagardere264]

Her heart with yearning swells and grows, as when two lovers meet. She spoke to them, she sang to them. Her fate became quite plain: Half drawn by them she glided in, and was not seen again. Princess Di and the media, or anyone whose being depends on them for that matter.
