I’d say she would have preferred less tunnel vision, but that’s conjecture on my part.
I.P.
I don’t live in the U.K. or Northern Ireland or south Dublin.
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
The UK includes Northern Ireland. You’re thinking of Great Britain.
I’d like a longer list of where you don’t live. It’s fascinating.
Brother Barnabas
Well I don’t live in Northern Ireland or Belfast. So have that.
dylad
I don’t live in Cork.
Tanya
I have been to Cork, but I do not live there.
Gabby
I don’t live in Newtownmountkennedy, Ballymacslattergash, or Kensington Palace. So there.

Hilary Mantel described her as a “”shop-window mannequin” with no personality whose only purpose is to breed.”
Declan
Oh snap!!!
Also Henry the VII (???) would of loved her
rotide
Actually she said she was ‘forced to present herself as a shop-window mannequin’. Not quite the same thing.
Spaghetti Hoop
You’re absolutely right, apologies – I took that out of context and as a tabloid quote of her speech. Mantel was indeed referring to the press and public’s expectation of the woman.

Great. Do we get a day off?
RuilleBuille
Off with their heads!
rotide
Apparently even broadsheet aren’t above using stories on the royals for a bump in readership
Pete
Indeed. This Machiavellian thinkpiece will surely garner BS many new readers.
Sham Bob
Saw what you done there with ‘bump’.
Nigel
In fairness the jokes about freshly-hatched royal Lovecraftian abominations being fed the blood of screaming commoners were pretty entertaining last time.
Nigel
I mean, assuming they were jokes.
rotide
They were.
What is even more entertaining is the constant ‘only west brits care about the royals’ narrative and the constant bemoaning of British exploitation of Diana.

“What is even more entertaining is the constant ‘only west brits care about the royals’ narrative and the constant bemoaning of British exploitation of Diana.”
I have no idea if you are a “west brit” or not but this is your third comment on a story about members of the Brit “royal” family so its clear to see where you sympaties lie.
One of the exceptions is “•were conceived as a result of a non-consensual sexual act (including rape) or when you were in a controlling or coercive relationship”.
I’d say that the second part is relevant.
Sham Bob
They’re really banging them out. I’d forgotten the name of the 2nd one already.

Brother Barnabas
I’d say they’ll release a sex tape soon enough
dav
LP or EP? or on CD or DVD?
I prefer laserdisc myself…..
Brother Barnabas

dav

dav
I’m sure leo will tweet about it, nothing about the thousands of irish children that are homeless due to his governments neglect…
This is fantastic news
It’s actually news about fantasy.
Was it for this?
It’s what Diana would have wanted!
