Long before there was stateside Fergie (Stacey Ann Ferguson of the Black Eyed Peas), there was a royal Fergie (Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York). Both have had a few battles with bulge, but only one blames Princess Di! Fergie of yore is coming out with a bold interview, given to the Telegraph's Stella Magazine, where she reveals the pressure she felt being compared to Princess Diana caused her to overeat. I think you got the better end of the deal, Sarah! Princess Di's well documented troubles with her own weight (she was bulimic) must have made it difficult to bear council to her sister-in-law. Fergie says Di was aware she was on a pedestal - and also knew she had farther to fall. Retrospect is a tricky thing, but it would have been wonderful if less emphasis had been put on weight and more on friendship - for the sake of both ladies.
