I wasn't sure what theme to pick this week. But then I watched a documentary about Princess Di a few days ago and this particular theme came up and so it's fresh in my memory. Some takeaways from the documentary (called The Princess), which consisted solely of archive footage and interviews: you forget how young Princess Di was when she died (and, for that matter, how young she was when she first married Charles), you forget how beautiful she was, you forget how awful the media was (and is), you forget what an appalling bunch of parasites the tabloid press were (and are), and you forget how much the public disliked Charles (it was probably a good job that the Queen was able to hang around for another 25 years, so Charles' failings are largely forgotten now). If you remember one of Princess Di's more famous sit-down interviews, then you'll probably guess which recognizable theme this is going to be.
