| Description | She may be on the verge of a divorce, and a bit faded in the eyes of her countrymen, but in the heartland of the former colonies, Princess Diana is still royalty.
Diana arrived in Chicago Tuesday and will remain through Thursday for a visit to help raise money for cancer research. She spoke at a Northwestern University symposium on breast cancer Wednesday.
Although staggering advances have been made in the fight against cancer, "our work is not yet finished," she said. "I would suggest that now might be a good time to consider another 'C' word which may threaten us. It is the word 'complacency,' and that is why this symposium is of such importance."
She also toured the trauma wards of Chicago's Cook County Hospital, visiting victims of gunshot wounds and life-threatening illnesses. "If she ever wanted to give up her day job as a princess she'd make a wonderful hospital administrator," said John Barrett, head of the trauma ward.
This visit and other stops she has made throughout her Chicago stay might be considered an audition for the post-princess role she is said to seek: ambassador at large to the world.
"This is the visit that will demonstrate her credentials to London, of being an ambassador and being the queen of hearts," said Quentin Letts of the Times of London. |
