Princess Diana was very much loved, princess Diana was a controversial figure in some respects, but not to me. I loved Princess Diana because Princess Diana did so much for AIDS and she was a great friend to me. We had a falling out, but we reconciled in the end. It was an extraordinary summer. Gianni Versace was murdered [ on July 15, 1997 ], and then Diana rang me up and we reconciled. And six weeks later, I ’m in the same house, and she’s dead. It was extraordinary, and I just could n’t believe what was going on.
