They wouldn't let it lie
In what is seemingly going beyond parody the new year sees yet another Diana related front page from The Di-ly Express. 46 times a Diana related story appeared on the front page of the Daily Express in the last year alone - almost 10 years after her death.
The Express is a comic at the best of times and it isn't helped the proprietor of the Express Richard Desmond is a close personal friend of Mohammed al Fayed.
The ranting of al Fayed and his 'fuggin' conspiracy theory that the Duke of Edinburgh and a missing Fiat Uno are all part of some sinister plot to bump off The People Princess are endlessly lampooned in Private Eye.
Classic Daily Express spoof front covers have included recently DUKE BLAMED FOR HAMMOND CRASH SHOCK and the LIVITNENKO MURDER: SHOCK NEW THEORY - which included the quality quote from top Kremlinologist Professor Fayed, "He was murdered by the fuggin' Duke of Edinburgh, who put a white Fiat Uno in his fuggin' sushi."
It is now really beyond parody, but no doubt Monday we will see another Diana front page exclusive in the Express.
