By Lucy Caulkett-
Australian writer, Germaine Greer has joined the group of haters trying to jump on the bandwagon of criticising Princess Diana.
In a disgraceful television interview, she calls her the “worst f**k in the country”.
The Australian author proceeds to stupidly speculate that Diana would have been dumped by “40 or 50″ men by now.
Appearing on Sam Delaney’s News Thing, airing on channel RT UK tomorrow night, the feminist says that we wouldn’t like the Princess of Wales if she was still alive today.

When asked ”if Diana was still alive today, would she just be one of these people eating kangaroo penis on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here?”
Greer responds: “I expect not actually, but it’s interesting to think would we still like her if she was 56? And I think we probably wouldn’t, we didn’t even like the Queen when she was 56. We don’t like middle-aged women very much. How would Diana have middle-aged?
“I mean, what would the tally be of the men who had dumped her by that stage? It would be 40 or 50 probably. Worst f**k in the country, by all accounts.”
Sam asks: “Is that right? I didn’t know that. Is that what the gossip is?”ks: “Is that right? I didn’t know that. Is that what the gossip is?She makes the claims on Sam Delaney’s News Thing “Well you’ve got to move in special circles to be told this kind of thing,” Germaine responds. The author’s response is pathetic and insensitive to the pains the princess went through. She stupidly speculates on the number of men Diana would have gone through by now, without telling us how many men she herself has gone through.
If we are honest and factual, Greer hasn’t aged well herself. She cuts a hostile, self centred , and insensitive figure, furthering herself on air by ruining the name of someone who died tragically in a car crash. She probably guessed she would get some column inches by spouting the rubbish coming out of her mouth.

Sam then asks Germaine if she thinks Diana was a good role model to young women in this country and whether or not she could be called a feminist icon. Germaine laughs: “No.” Greer is certainly no good role model herself. If she thinks that speaking in a derogatory manner about a person on the anniversary of their death is something women should emulate, she is dafter than she realises. Being an author does not equate having common sense or wisdom.
She goes on: “She was too dependent on the love of men, I think. And she was prepared to humiliate herself to get it and she blew it every time. I think she just didn’t understand that neediness is not sexy and that’s probably what went wrong.
“I mean, it’s such a catalogue of disasters and your heart does ache for her and to end up with Dodi Al Fayed, or Dodi Fayed as the Egyptians prefer to call him, that was just the wrong end of the upward spiral, you might think.”
