[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crowds gathered to get a glimpse of Diana when she visited Chicago. No crowds for JFK JR[/quote]
What visit to Chicago? There definitely are British royal fans that would know this, but I (middle aged American woman) have no idea what you are talking about. [/quote]

The question is not: do you remember Diana's visit to Chicago in (checks wiki) 1996? The question is: did Diana and JFK Jr have similar levels of fame/celebrity when they were alive? As the PP noted, wherever she went in the US and throughout the world, Diana drew very large crowds. Her advocacy work was widely noted and admired. She met with heads of state worldwide. She was on the nightly news and in national and local newspapers, as well as in People mag.

I'm not a BRF fan. But I am 5-6 years younger than Diana and JFK Jr would be if they were still alive, so close to their contemporaries, so I remember them and the attention they got. It's honestly laughable to compare them--her fame far outshown him. She was one of the most recognized people in the world and in the US. He was not one of most recognized people in the US, nevermind the world. Most Americans did not know much about him other than that he was JFK's magazine. He was occasional tabloid fodder only.[/quote]
