I think there was a lot of anti-Royalist feeling around (and there still is) and I remember cheering when Diana's brother went all sarky. Diana didn't have a brain in her head, but she did a lot of personal charity work - a lot more unselfishly than Mother Theresa, incidentally - and she wasn't the one who married an 18 year old virgin to get an heir, figuring that she was too naive to notice that her partner was having it off all the time with someone else. (Diana, I feel, had ever right to be vindictive about the Royals, in the circumstances.)
It was such jolly good fun to see her embarrassing the Royals, too... particularly the appalling Charles. She made more people over here Republicans, and that has to be a good thing.
