I would agree that this sets a bad precedent for the media, but I don't
foresee them backing off at all with prestigious people, such as the
Royal family.

Speaking of the motorcycles in the chase, I remember the media
speculating that the car slid out of control when the driver swerved to
miss something.  Seems to me this may have been another instance, where
a Quattro could have prevented this accident.

Still is a sad end to an over publicized life.  At least she's finally
going to be at peace.
