Indeed, Diana has been haunting them ever since she died in that car crash in Paris.

You can exaggerate the power of Diana in death, but Prince Charles must by now be resigned to the fact that he and Camnilla will never be able to emerge from her shadow, and not even when he is king. Even if the British public may have softened over time, pop culture is making sure that Diana’s legacy lives on. Things actually haven't moved on that much since the early years of Charles and Diana's marriage, when he went on a walka bout on their first joint trip to Australia. ‘Adoring crowds lined the street, but poor old Charles overheard a couple of fans voice their disappointment that “she” had been allocated the other side of the road to them, and "we've ‘only got him’. Much of the public haven't really shifted their view of the heir to the throne since then. But back to the present: When Charles becomes King, will Camilla be Queen? Atti tudes have softened somewhat from the venom felt towards the now Duchess of Cornwall, but the idea of Queen Camilla still horrifies, and the wider cult of Diana shows zo sign of fading away, such is her enduring afterlife in popular culture. ‘Thus, the new king and his consort will find, funnily enough, that there are three peoplein their marriage, sotospeak, and that ‘only one of them has the star quality.

Since its inception in the mid.1970s, the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Drag- ‘ons (D&D) has brought together a far more diverse array of players than its stereotypes suggest.

Some characteristics expressed by some of Hancock’ players social anxiety, increased empathy, difficulty adapting to change, fel- ing overwhelmed in noisy environments ~ have become familiarto many Australiansin the wake of lockdowns.
