...inspired by Princess Diana's car-accident death, of course. (There were even spin-off mass responses of rage toward the paparazzi, who trailed her car into the Paris tunnel, and of generosity toward the charities the princess sponsored.)

Her frantic fussiness and deliberate animation are doubtless intended to conceal her sorrow at the loss of her husband, but instead Moya comes across as a callous coquette concerned only with the progress...
