Yeah, that's a good point. She could have issued a very dignified statement along the lines of "I'm terribly sorry not to be able to come and blow all your noses personally, but I feel that my grandchildren who have just lost their mother have a greater claim on my time just at present; I do hope you understand" (only less sarky, obviously) and that might have helped a few people regain some sense of perspective and feel a bit ashamed of themselves. In fact she was too dignified even to do that (and why should she have to, after all?) and so the tabloids ranted on. God, I do despise them.
