My opinion on this is.. and I am sure I will get shot down for it but...
Diana was only just 20 when she married Charles. He was not faithful to her and kept all his old (married) 'confidantes'.. she was lonely and thrown in the deep end. I am not saying that marital affairs are right, but I can't help thinking that if I had been in her shoes I would have done just what she did
The culture of the royal family has always been that you can have affairs as long as you don't get found out. She was found out because in the most public royal divorce ever all the dirty washing was aired on both sides.
I don't judge her at all.. I had a lot of sympathy for her. None at all for the rest of them.
And I don't think she was sly.. I think she learned to stick up for herself against a pretty massive public institution that wanted to discredit her and good for her!!!
Sorry Irizar, I just don't agree with what you think of her, but that is OK! We can't all agree on everything can we?

If we did all agree, it would be a boring world, but what I can't understand is why you had sympathy with her, and none at all for the rest of them, surely an illicit affair is a...well illicit affair, the only difference I can see is that she activley went out to pursue other men, surely that makes it inexcusable, if an affair 'just' happens, then I could understand it more.
