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.''
