I don't think that her life issues were all that much different that anyone else's - (show me a person with no issues and I'll show you a statue) - but hers were magnified not only because of her royal status, but also because of her celebrity status. It must be difficult to exist under the lens of a microscope. On the other hand - she MUST have had some inkling of what her life might be like after she married Charles. She can't have been THAT naive. Jump into a pool wearing blinders, don't surprised if you hit concrete ( I'm SUCH a cliche' person!). I think that her biggest asset was charisma and charm, and while she certainly had issues, I think she used some of her assets to benefit others. For that alone, I admire the woman. And I think she deserved better than what she got.
