摩羯座处女座454884Diana Decade
Twenty years ago, a tall young woman with a shy smile made a mess of her lines before millions of people and became a superstar.
On July 29, 1981, Lady Diana Spencer took “Philip Charles Arthur George” – she mixed the order of Prince Charles’ names during her vows – as her lawful wedded husband and entered a family bound by various rules and practices no outsider could possibly know.
It turned out to be much more than she bargained for. It also turned out to be much more than they bargained for. But for the media, it was a golden bonanza.
Media Chaos
“The media changed dramatically in that decade of the 1980s,” says Bob Houston, publisher of Royal Monthly magazine.
“Diana was the spearhead of the American invasion of Britain, the celebrity culture,” say Houston.
杜甫诗集“The changing British media are becoming much more celebrity-driven. And we had this No. 1 celebrity.”
Diana, with her camera-friendly good looks, her sympathetic gestures and an air of defenlessness, emed much more relaxed than the other royals, and much more reachable. She instantly became popular with the public, who couldn’t get enough of her.
“From the time she entered public life, Diana conveyed her defenlessness with her eyes, her gestures, her speech, and her touch,” Sally Bedell Smith wrote in her book Diana in Search of Herlf. “Besides her beauty, this evident weakness made her a star.”
叉车技术Newspaper editors found the public was eager to lap up articles about Diana, her clothes, her style, her public engagements, how she was raising her two young sons. The 80s, says Houston, were “the Decade of Diana.”
戴安娜十年
20年前，一个身材高挑，带着羞涩笑容的年轻女人在几百万人面前说错了话，但此后她成
为了一个耀眼的明星。
在1981年6月29日，戴安娜-斯潘赛在婚礼宣誓时竟把自己丈夫查尔斯王子的全名顺序搞错了，成了"菲力浦-查尔斯-亚瑟-乔治"的合法妻子。从此戴安娜走进了一个任何局外人都无法了解的被各种清规戒律所桎梏的家庭。
最后的结果是她的婚姻远超过她和众人的想像，但是对于媒体而言，它确是一个致富之源。
媒体的旋涡
《皇室月刊》杂志的出版商鲍勃-休斯顿说："媒体在20世纪80年代发生了巨大的变化。有关戴安娜的报道成为美国名人文化打进英国的第一炮。于是英国媒体开始发生变化，变得越来越为名人效应所驱动。他们竟然自豪的发现 '我们拥有世界上的头号名人'。"
戴安娜有着一副上镜的姣好容貌，她那能让人产生共鸣的手势和毫不设防的表情，让她看上去远比王室其他成员平易近人。因此她很快赢得了公众的喜爱，人们自然也就想知道她的一切。
萨莉-比德尔-史密斯在《探寻自我的戴安娜》一书中写道："进入公众生活以来，戴安娜的眼神、手势、演讲和触摸处处显示出她那温柔的性格。举世公认的美貌，加之这种柔弱的天性让她成为一颗明星。"
报纸编辑们发现，读者们热衷于所有关于戴安娜的报道，无论是有关她的服装、她的风格、她的社交活动，以及她如何抚养她的两个孩子，公众对于这些都饶有兴趣。休斯敦称 "整个80年代是戴安娜的时代"。
公主与平民
然而，1992年6月，安德鲁-莫顿《戴安娜：她真实的故事》一书的面世，撕破了十多年来精心构筑的假象。此书（在戴安娜本人的帮助下完成）揭开了戴安娜王妃如何与易饿症和精神抑郁症斗争的过程，同时斥责了查尔斯作为丈夫不忠的一面。
此书曝光了查尔斯和另一位已婚女人--卡米拉的暧昧关系，使得这位威尔士王子的公众支持率急剧下降。但是，戴安娜婚姻危机的曝光并没有影响公众对这位王妃的喜爱程度。相反，人们想要了解更多的详情。

史密斯在书中写道："当她的心灵深处的情感斗争为大众所知后，她在公众中产生了巨大的共鸣，她不仅仅是个高高在上的公主,也是一个面临家庭问题的普通女人。"
曹植白马篇小报始终进行着追踪报道：先是夫妇二人的分居，随后是双方竟相努力赢得公众的支持，接下来是戴安娜和查尔斯双双在电视上对婚外恋供认不讳。1996年两人正式离婚以后，媒体仍旧继续关注戴安娜的一举一动，直到1997年8月31日，戴安娜在巴黎隧道的那场车祸中丧命。
公众迸发了对戴妃的巨大的哀悼，这引起了英国皇室的注意。休斯敦说："公众的感情强烈迸发，让他们（皇室成员们）意识到自己的世界也应该改变一下了。"
王子接收教训
事实上，真正从戴妃的死中得到教训的人是查尔斯王子，因为他不但目睹了公众对于戴妃去世的反应，而且还见到了自己的儿子--威廉和哈利王子--对于他们母亲过世所表现出的巨大悲痛。

休斯顿说："戴妃去世后王室成员谈论的主要话题之一就是皇室如何跟上时代的步伐。显然，
王室成员们已经从'戴安娜时代'中认识到他们必须树立平易近人的形象，摆脱那些华而不实的仪式和礼节。"
四懂四会消防知识休斯顿说："现在王室的最大问题就是改变他们冷漠的形象，当然，皇室的前景是光明的，我认为他们手中的王牌就是威廉王子。"
Fairy Princess and Every Woman
Then, in June 1992, the carefully-constructed fal front broke with the publication of Andrew Morton’s Diana: Her True Story紫竹. The book – written with Diana’s cooperation – expod the princess’s battles with bulimia and depression, and criticized Charles as an unfaithful husband.
The disclosure of Charles’ relationship with a married woman, Camilla Parker Bowles, nt the Prince of Wales’ popularity plummeting. But the disclosure of Diana’s problems did not decrea the public’s affection for her. It only incread their appetite to know more.
“Once the breadth and depth of her emotional struggle became known,” wrote Smith, “she stuck an even deeper chord: She became the fairy-princess version of the troubled everyday woman.”
The tabloid reports kept coming: There was the royal paration, the two camps’ attempts to win the public, the televid admissions by both Charles and Diana of adultery. After the divorce became final, in 1996, the media continued to follow Diana’s every move. And then, on Aug. 31, 1997, came the car crash in a Paris tunnel that killed her.
The massive outpouring of public grief made the Windsors sit up and take notice. “The amazing wave of emotion over her death got through to them that their world has had to change,” says Houston.
Charles Learns a Lesson
The person who really got the message was Prince Charles, who saw with his own eyes not only the public reaction but the sadness of his own sons, William and Harry.
