Princess Diana and Mother Teresa were both celebrities before their deaths, but since Princess Di was younger and more attractive, people cared more about her death. I still see her on the cover of tabloids and magazines. People have been saying that she was murdered. Frankly, I don't care, she's dead and burried, let it go. Mother Teresa is rarely mentioned now, which is a shame. Her legacy should be the one being remembered to this day.
My point exactly. Diana was a figurehead in England and nothing more. she was a pretty face who lived in luxury and (I'll admit) died tragically. But the idea that she got more news coverage (and still is) than Mother Teresa, who spent her life helping the less fortunate, boils my blood.
However, she wasn't overlooked completely. I believe they made her a saint after her death.
