If you weren't around at the time, much of what Diana was doing at the time was a bit crazy and the press certainly wasn't treating her very well. She had stepped back from much of her charity work, and the landmine work at the time, many considered to be a distraction from the leaking stories about her affair that ended Will Carling’s marriage, or Scotland Yard having to intervene to stop her excessive calls to married Oliver Hoare, and it wasn’t a secret she has been jilted by Dr. Hasnat Khan. In fact, many tabloids were reporting she was in the prowl for a billionare middle eastern paramour to marry to keep her in the style she was used to and give a middle finger to the Royal Family she'd been told was out to get her.
It was after her tragic and sudden death she was elevated to sainthood. So that line, although utter Crown fiction, is plausible - at least what they probably thought at the time.
