The Late Princess of Wales: Bad at Being Photoshopped From Beyond the Grave, Worse at Phone Sex

What better excuse for rehashing Tina Brown’s glorious-and-dishy The Diana Chronicles than Monica Ali’s new Diana novel? And, obviously, Michelle Dean’s genius piece on the Newsweek kerfuffle?

Namely, the unquestionable highlight of the old Squidgygate tapes between Di and her horny, mildly frustrated conversationalist, James Gilbey:

Gilbey: I haven’t played with myself…for a full forty-eight hours. (musingly) Not for a full forty-eight hours…

Diana (sounding vague): I watched EastEnders today.

Obviously, it’s no “I want to be your Tampax,” but at least Charles was trying to bring his A-game, what?
