The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, on Aug. 31, 1997, shook Britain and the world. The New York Times asked journalists who covered Diana and the deadly car accident, which also killed her companion, Dodi Al-Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul, to share their memo and reflections.
Diana was considered disloyal and
unhinged
, an unguided missile, when she went on the BBC in 1995 to talk of her emotional distress. ("There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.") In a sign of how much things have changed, William and Harry are marking the anniversary by speaking publicly about her, with royal approval.
Her death also marked a turning point in the history of Britons’ relationship to their own ids, ushering in an era in which people have new license to express themselves and feelings can weigh more heavily than reason, Mr. Freedland said.
"The reaction to her death is a preview of the Brexit landscape, in which emotion trumps expertise, " he said. "It was a shock to people — we didn’t think it was part of the British mind-set — and now, after Brexit, you can see there was something growing there, a willingness to give two fingers to the experts." (Instead of using their middle fingers, Britons use what is known as a two-fingered salute.)
Public opinion polls suggest nobody is particularly fond of Prince Charles, who at 68 is still waiting for his chance to become king. But they also show that the royal family, led by the seemingly indestructible 91-year-old queen, endures as a comforting unifying thread, providing a constitutional underpinning for a nation whose
quirks
include the fact that it has no written constitution.
"The royal family is key to our constitution, " Geordie Greig, editor of The Mail on Sunday, which publishes its share of royal-related articles, said in an email. "
It
provides a permanent and historical foundation going back more than 1, 000 years."
The pomp and circumstance of its spectacles — the weddings of Charles and Diana and of William and Kate; the funeral of Diana — unify the country "with a familial heartbeat that also resonates around the world, " he added.
At the very least, the royal family provides a gossipy distraction for a nation
fretting
about where it belongs and where it is going in this fraught era of Brexit. When is Harry
going to propose to his girlfriend, Meghan Markle, and does it matter that she is Canadian, describes herself as mix race and is an actress? How disappointing is it that, at 35, William has already lost much of his hair? How expensive was Kate’s sister’s very big, very fancy engagement ring?
Not everyone loves the royal family. Clearly anyone who visits Diana’s memorial fountain in Kensington Gardens is part of a self-selecting group, hardly a representative sample of public opinion. But a recent stop there showed how Diana, even after all this time, remains part of the conversation.
"I feel bad for Diana, the way they treated her, " said Kristina Landgraf, a German tourist. "She was a good person, she was kicked out of the royal family, and tried to have a personal life."
Visitors to Buckingham Palace said that the royal family held a fascination, even for those who are not really a royal family sort of person.
How did Kristina Landgraf, a German tourist, feel about Diana?
选项
A、She feels Diana is bad.
B、She feels sad about the way the royal family treated Diana.
C、She feels Diana is disloyal, so she was kicked out of the royal family.
D、She feels fascinated by Diana.
答案
B
解析
从第10段可知,她认为Diana was a good person,A项错误;Kristina Landgraf并未提及Diana被赶出王室的原因,C项错误;D项文中未提及,排除;第10段第一句话提到,我为王室对待戴安娜的方式感到难过,B项正确。
