The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, brought an unprecedented outpouring of public emotion. The shock waves are still being felt. In this collection of essays, Jungian analysts, working in Britain, explore a wealth of motifs and psychological themes. Their topics range from the sacred and profane nature . of royalty, to the rituals in public mourning, the importance of not living-happily-ever-after and the workings of charisma.
'Why do arguments about Diana so quickly become heated? We are dealing here with something that goes far beyond the rational. That is why it is a relief to turn from the picture books to the Jungian analysts and religious thinkers in When a Princess Dies.'
