Why are the press still trying to make money out of a dead princess?

Now the press have stooped to lowest then can go and published pictures of a dying Diana in that fatal car accident in Paris 9 years ago.

What's the real issue? Is it that we are so appalled at the the sight of a much loved women who in only a matter of minutes (hours??) died after that picture was taken? Or is it that we don't want to be confronted with the death of a woman who we all could relate to in some way or another?

I don't know. But I felt guilty just looking at the picture and yet I was intrigued. I have never seen anyone minutes before their death.

In the picture concerned, Diana didn't look like she was about to die. She looked very peaceful, quiet and almost like she was sleeping. Maybe that was the shocking aspect of it. She looked quite normal. She didn't look like someone who was seriously, fatally injured.

Maybe we're all aghast because we only like to remember Diana when she was at her most beautiful? She was an amazing woman.

She may have lived a fairytale..being a princess and all, but her life was far from fantastic. Maybe that's why we loved her so much? During her life she was one of the most adored people in the world and yet she was very fallible. Not perfect..not without blame. Most people can relate to that.

I think the real reason that most people find the latest saga in Diana's death offensive is that people are profiting from it. The papers, the authors, the papparazzi photographers and the in-betweens who broker deals for books, sale of pictures etc.

The pictures themselves aren't gross. They don't show her in pain. The thing that I find vile is that (and this is quite clear from the pictures) the papparazzo who photographed her in those last moments she was alive, did so with no thought for her dignity.

That's it...in life she had so much dignity....and they took that from her before she died.
