PAY no attention to what Burke’s Peerage says about Princess Diana’s lineage. Any woman who goes on television and discusses her affairs, betrayals, suicide attempts, and vomiting habits, and then says “I’m a very strong person,” is an American.
The Enid Waldholtzing of the Princess of Wales and the debate over the future of royalty remind me of the running battle between my English father and my American mother that dominated my childhood and ultimately shaped most of the political opinions I hold today.
