Werner Herzog tells this story: When Princess Di died, there were two men in the car as well that also died. Herzog was at the Telluride film festival when it happened. He was talking to a friend who was commenting that no one was also mourning the two other men that died.
That friend had a long time girlfriend who overheard this conversation, and broke up with him on the spot.
Thank you so much for sharing this deep cut! It highlights intense polarization on the subject, and adds credence to the notion that her death was extremely symbolic, especially to women.

It's in Herzog's book on Truth.
