PEOPLE, Page 87Insensitive At Any Speed
By MICHAEL QUINN
The Jaguar XJS: What lover of four-wheel luxury doesn't
dream of leaping into that driver's seat and roaring off in
Britain's famous sports car? Well, Britain's famous PRINCESS
DIANA, for one. The occasional social partner of Prince Charles
has sold her Jag, and is now leasing a $130,000 red coupe built
by . . . Mercedes-Benz, a favorite target of British bombers 50
years ago. Di's offshore wheels arrive at a time of recession
at home -- inspiring outrage like that of Labour M.P. Dennis
Skinner: "This is another example of the royal family showing
contempt for British workers. They live off the fat of the land
with taxpayers' money -- and then spit in their faces." The
scandal hit as Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 40th year on the
throne. She was not amused.
