Are you of the opinion that the press only started to pay attention to Diana when she started dating a Muslim? Quote

I imagine there were probably a few nasty articles written about her and her Muslim boyfriend, with racism lurking in the background. But I know nothing with certainty. Quote

The British gutter press killed her as much as a drunk driver did, but I don't think it was because of her boyfriend. She'd already had a relationship with a Pakistani Muslim, and was quite close to Imran Khan, if memory serves. 8 hours ago, cougar said: I imagine there were probably a few nasty articles written about her and her Muslim boyfriend, with racism lurking in the background. But I know nothing with certainty. Maybe. I wouldn't know. I stopped reading the Sun and the Daily Mirror when I could afford my own papers. Quote

No. That is your weird white saviour version of reality, perhaps. Diana was mobbed by the press from the moment she was announced as Charlie's fiancee, and they weren't polite about whatever they thought about anything she said or did or what she was wearing or how she looked.
