NOTE TO MYSELF: How much is too much?
There's a big controversy in England regarding the broadcast of a documentary entitled, "Diana: The Witnesses in the Tunnel" featuring still more graphic photos of the car crash that killed Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed to be televised on British TV.
As expected Diana's sons Prince William and Harry have asked the British broadcaster in question not to air the photos taken, terming it a "gross disrespect" to her memory. However, publicity is publicity is... and given the continuing fascination with Diana, the broadcaster, Channel 4, has decided to go ahead with the program.
"The princes reluctantly feel that they have been left no choice but to make it clear publicly that they believe the broadcast of these photographs to be wholly inappropriate, deeply distressing to them and to the relatives of the others who died that night, and a gross disrespect to their mother's memory," said a statement by Clarence House, Prince Charles's official residence.
Would be interesting to know if North American viewers would watch this program on TV if given the opportunity.
Would YOU?
