While Diana's feelings of inadequacy did not leave her so riven that she doubted her ability to be first, Princess of Wales, then Queen, and to bring up children who would also be monarchs, nor did Lewinsky's disturb her belief - which she still maintains despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary - that she was just the sort of woman that a president would fall in love with, in the early days before she was an icon to everyone.Like Diana, she has been hounded by the media, but rather than pack up and live quietly out of the photographers' gaze for a couple of years, and work out a way of living her life that can really make her content, she just wants to stay in that hated spotlight for as long as she can.Like Diana, she wants lots of money, and she wants too earn it without too much effort. She does indeed have much in common with Princess Diana.Like Diana, Lewinsky is the victim of a dysfunctional family background which has left her with feelings of inadequacy. I deserve better than that." My, my, Monica Lewinsky believes she deserves a lot. I want to be a movie or a media star and I do not want to be known for ever as the woman who brought down a president. "All I ever wanted was to be as internationally famous as Princess Diana.

I deserve that much." Or: "I'm not a princess in a royal sense, but I was also wronged by a man who said he loved me." Most appalling of all, is the report from Andrew Golden, who introduced Lewinsky to Morton, on what Lewinsky has told friends she hopes for her future. I like to be able to reach up on my bookshelf for one of Shakespeare's plays and I would like to think that people will do that with this book." Or: "I want to be happy. Instead, it is her actions now which imperil her most of all.Finally, there's the Morton book, which from Lewinsky's motives for wanting it written alone, make it sound utterly excruciating "I'd like to think I will live on in a book. If only her desire for self-preservation was greater than her desire for attention. Then we could be sure that she will never contemplate suicide over this matter ever again.

Hurrah! Not only is that a healthy reaction to her situation, but it's also healthy that she only considered suicide. Lewinsky was able to talk in much greater detail during this interview, due to reporting restrictions which remain in the United States. Leaks have already flushed out one exclusive revelation, which is that Lewinsky at one point contemplated suicide during her ordeal. It would then have been greeted with the contempt that it deserves.Then there's the Jon Snow interview. What a pity it wasn't Glenn Hoddle who came up with that one.
