Happy birthday Diana, but your legacy lives on

But, contrary to how the picture editors, with their crass mock-up photos, claim she would now look, I reckon she would most certainly NOT look lined, haggard, pale and old. We would all be gazing at her and simply thinking "how fantastic does she look!" without automatically pondering her age - a bit like the way we perceive Sophia Loren!
Yet the picture editors see 50 as "old". Being fifty still means "past your prime". It's a stupid, lazy and ignorant attitude yet they cling to their prejudices. Why?
Oh, and by the way, isn't Kate doing well?
