A Quote From This Episode
“The day after Diana was pronounced dead, Tony Blair came out immediately to the public and coined the term ‘The People’s Princess.’ And then immediately made an announcement with his very classic, open body language. If you compare that to the royal family, the Queen of England isn’t just a woman, mother, and grandmother. She represents the country. In fact, she is the country. The law says that. If she doesn’t come out and say something, the country is silent. Tony Blair’s ratings go up massively, the Queen’s ratings plummet, immediately, because one was there and open, and one wasn’t.”
