She seems to me to be the epitome of what some call a "snowflake." We all have family members who we'd rather not be around, but we deal with it. She got to be a freakin princess, a part of the UK royal family, and couldnt deal with it. She didnt represent the USA very well.

I'm a fan of the Queen, so I'm admittedly touchy about the subject.
