The Cult of Princess Diana
Posted by qmonkey on September 4, 2007
What would it take for Diana to be regarded as a prophet from god?
My answer is, as you’d expect is not very much (otherwise it would be a more rubbish post).
I saw a picture on the front of a newspaper recently of a man on his knees at the gates of Buckingham palace praying in front of a picture of Diana, surrounded by flowers. The notion occurred to me, was Diana a goddess of sorts, or at least in less enlightened times, could in 50-100 years have a reasonable religious following.
How far would things need to be exaggerated for it to be said that she healed people with AIDS, and preached love and understanding? How hard would it be to find apostles who said that she changed their lives for the better? And that she was persecuted for her beliefs and cast out of the royal family etc
A guy called Joseph Smith claimed to have dug up some gold plates in America in the early 1800s, and said that it was a message from god, and revelation about the way forward. A man, who believes this, is now in with a reasonable chance of becoming President.
Maybe in these days of 24 hour news and intimate inquiry into every part of celebrity the Diana Cult wouldn’t last long - but who knows (see scientology)- I wouldn’t be surprised if King William IV’s son is head of the English Church of Diana 
food for thought, or at least a curly wurly for thought.
