GREER BRANDS DIANA 'DEVIOUS MORON'

LATEST: Feminist icon GERMAINE GREER has continued her public assault on the memory of late British royal DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES, by branding her a "devious moron". Last month (Jul07) the Female Eunuch author hinted the princess may have caused her own death "from (one) of her back-handed manipulations - it is said that she only went to Paris with her late lover Dodi Fayed in order to make heart surgeon Hasnat Khan jealous." And, speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Saturday (18Aug07), Greer continued her verbal attack. She said, "I have come to the conclusion that she was a devious moron. "One of the things I have been puzzled by is why her whole life was such a mess. She made a mess of being Princess of Wales, but that is fine because the job is not do-able. It is an insane job and, in history, all but one of the Princesses of Wales have come to a sticky end - stickier than hers. "I am also interested in why she couldn't manage life after being Her Royal Highness. It still puzzles me that she does that no-no thing: she sleeps with married men. "...And this is the angel that people want to crown." Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997.
