Opes and Haspirations of a Putative Princess

As shown by extracts from her diary, edited by a person or persons unknown, the orthographically challenged ‘Princess Diana’, also known as Diane and Dina, was a lady of contradictions.

 Unable to pass the simplest of academic examinations, she was not devoid of intelligence; capable of great love and generosity, she hated her husband’s mistress with a profundity that could express itself in words and gestures of the crassest meanness; born  into a privileged stratum of Britain’s class-ridden society, she was, to her credit, while clearly rejoicing in her status, not averse to befriending people of the humblest origins; and while oddly infatuated with her queen, whose position as head of the state she seemed to covet, she was subject to the most subversive of anti-monarchical feelings.

But who, in fact, was she?
