Kenneth Rose

A parson was reportedly called to Sandringham in 2001 after the servants refused to work in one chamber.

"The parson said," wrote the Mail's longtime royal correspondent, Kenneth Rose, in volume two of his diaries, 1979 to 2014, "That the oppressive or disturbing atmosphere may have been because of Princess Diana." A poor show, but it must be said that work-wise, the 2000s for Diana's ghost had the humiliating flavor of John Travolta's 1980s.

2003 found her appearing in a pay-per-view seance in the US.

The DVD of this televisual horror show is emblazoned with the words, "Banned in Great Britain," which would sadly have limited the presumably much-needed royalties available to its naturalized American presenter, former Avengers star Patrick Macnee.
