Article-I.D.: sri-unix.1986 Posted: Thu Jul 1 01:39:06 1982 Received: Thu Jul 1 07:01:54 1982 Special NBC correspondent Robert Lacy, who has published books on the current British Queen and the Saudi ruling family, has written a book about Princess Diana. Some comments by Lacey in a recent article: ''It does remain an enduring surprise to me that someone who has failed all her exams at school, who isn't qualified for any job at all, should generate such affection and should defy all the normal rules of being a public personality,'' he says. Not by any royal stretch of the imagination could Diana be called an intellect, having, for one thing, flunked her ''ordinary level'' exams (British exams which a 15- or 16-year-old of average intelligence is expected to pass) - three times. And, as Lacey adds, he is amazed at how she is ''perfectly happy spending her time wandering around the shops looking at clothes.''
