Wasn't she just speaking the truth about the dysfunctional family constellation she is part of. The fact that the royal family is treated with a level of awe and respect that usually only gods will get isn't really her doing (on the contrary she seems to do her best to destroy that image). Perhaps her problem is rather that she was unable to separate the different levels of reality and double messaging that is so common in dysfunctional families and said the wrong things to the wrong person. Besides her excuse is that she was drunk at the time. So rather than reflecting on a person who can't live up to her very artificial role (that the British people demand of her) perhaps it would be helpful to reflect on why the royalties still are where they are and which role they play for this country. And of course to see it as yet another confirmation of the negative effect alcohol can have. Another way to see this is to ask the question of who is living in fantasy land.
