Nevertheless, one year later, it is clear that the "people's princess" can never be replaced--not for her sons William and Harry, not for the millions of people who benefited from her charity or basked in her flirtatious charm, and not for those others who saw in Diana's frailties and unhappiness a reflection of their own. No royal front runner has emerged to supplant the Princess of Wales in the hearts of the people or on the front pages of the tabloids. But the death of the princess appears to have done the unexpected: it has not only...
With the princes mostly off limits, the press has grown fidgety on the subject of Charles' consort. Despite widespread sentiment at this time last year that the public would never accept, at Charles' side, the woman Diana once dubbed the "Rottweiler," Camilla and Charles appear to be engaged in a gradual coming-out process--which is not causing much distress to anyone. Not only has Camilla officially met William and Harry; the couple are also "all but living together" at St. James's Palace, according to a piece in the Daily Mail by Diana's good friend Richard...

Tomlinson, who was fired by the agency in 1995, spent six months in jail last year for violating Britain's Official Secrets Act by trying to peddle a book critical...
...judges, related a hodgepodge of allegations, including his suspicion that the driver, Henri Paul, had once been a paid informant of MI6. But according to Tomlinson, the judges seemed most interested in his contention that a free-lance British photographer who covered the royals had regularly briefed MI6 on Diana's doings. The judges are trying to learn the identity of an English-speaking mustachioed photographer who was at the Ritz Hotel the night of the crash, and may have hoped that Tomlinson could shed light on the possibility that an MI6 agent had been following Diana that evening...
