1998: Princess Diana Memorial Margarine Sparks Outrage

'On This Day 1998: Princess Diana Memorial Margarine Sparks Outrage'

Tubs of margarine bearing Princess Diana's name, just a year after she died, were labelled "tacky" and "distasteful" after they were made in support of her Memorial Fund.

Her former butler Paul Burrell played a key role in the deal with Flora as part of its London Marathon fundraising effort.

Burrell is a relentless hustler as well as a thief and unfortunately the media still considers him an expert on the family.
