Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 72233" data-attributes="member: 100">In an odd way Pam echoes the short life of Princess Diana. She marries the bachelor Prince Bobby. Now I understand Bobby was in love with Pam but he knew that marrying Pam was going against the wishes of his parents. Princess Pam then enters that wasp of a family led by Prince Jock, stodgy and old fashioned in many ways. Queen Miss Ellie tends to her duties by attending charitable events with assistance from her daughter-in-law, Princess Sue Ellen, the ever dutiful wife of King in waiting, Prince JR. Poor Princess Pam is left at the Castle (Southfork) to wander the empty halls, fulfilling her days reading fashion magazines. She awaits her Prince Charming to return from another trip, shelling out Ewing money to get people on-side. Princess Pam is pushing hard for Prince Bobby to take a real interest in Ewing Oil which of course irks Prince JR. He doesn't like how Princess Pam is changing the dynamics of the family and schemes to be rid of her. Princess Pam resists and continues to drag the Ewing family out of there inward looking view on life and people. As time moves we witness the first fractures in the fairy-tale romance between Prince Bobby and Princess Pam. They separate and have adulteress affairs. It would seem all is lost until they discover each other again only for Princess Pam to die tragically and the world mourns.Well, it doesn't quite mirror exactly how Pam reflects Princess Diana but I'm fascinated how the Ewing family mirrors that British family, The Windsors.</blockquote>
