Diana, the monarchy and the crisis in Britain
(http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~socappeal/diana.html)

The dramatic events of the first week of September 1997 mark a sea-change 
in British society. The sudden death of the Princess of Wales was the 
signal of an outburst of popular feeling which was without precedent in 
recent British history. Of course, Britain has seen more than a few royal 
births, deaths and marriages, duly attended by large crowds of cheering 
or silently respectful people. But such a spontaneous eruption as this, 
such an overflowing of emotion, such a movement of the masses, 
unorganised, uncalled-for, uncontrollable - such a thing has never been 
seen. It is an entirely new phenomenon, reflecting an entirely new 
situation in Britain. Alan Woods analyses this situation and gives some 
historical background to the British monarchy. September 10, 1997.
