Chanel impressario KARL LAGERFIELD has slammed late British royal DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES, labelling her dull in comparison to PRINCE CHARLES' second wife CAMILLA, DUCHESS OF CORNWALL.

The fashion designer, 67, is baffled by the British public's adoration of the "stupid" princess, and insists Camilla, who wed Charles in April last year (05), is both fun and intelligent.

He tells New York magazine, "She was pretty and she was sweet, but she was stupid.

"The public does not know who Camilla is. She is the life of the party! She's sparkling, she's witty, she's ready for everything, and not pretentious, not one bit. If you had to make a choice to live with somebody, this is the one."

Diana, Princess Of Wales was killed in a Paris car crash in August 1997.

Lucky for Karl, he's got a chance. Camilla likes to fool around when she's married. But, he's gotta learn to talk dirty.

'Di was pretty but stupid'
By Suzy Austin, Metro
7 February 2006

The fashion world is known for its bitchiness but few would go so far as to speak ill of the dead - especially a former client.

The outspoken Chanel designer, who was among the mourners at Diana's funeral, took aim at her in a magazine interview.

He much prefers Prince Charles' new wife, Camilla. 'If you had to make a choice to live with somebody, this is the one,' he told the magazine about the Duchess.

But his thoughts on Lady Diana are most likely to upset the late princess's fans.

Describing Diana, Lagerfeld said: 'She was pretty and she was sweet, but she was stupid.'

He insists that the world would love Camilla more if they knew what she was really like.

'The public does not know who Camilla is,' he said. 'She is the life of the party. She's sparkling, she's witty, she's ready for everything, and not pretentious, not one bit.' Diana is not the only celebrity Lagerfeld gunned for in the interview ahead of his appearance at New York fashion week.

The fashion designer, 67, said he prefers the Nicole Kidman generation of actresses to youngsters like Lindsay Lohan and he said he will never use singer Christina Aguilera in a photo shoot again because of her bad manners.

If he sends her a box of Tampax with his face attached to each and every one, he's in . . . so to speak.

Karl Lagerfeld has a lot of balls calling someone stupid, looking the way he does.

It's OK that he likes Camilla, but why can't he praise her without speaking ill of the dead?

That's incredibly tacky.

He's quite the pissy queen. I hope he keeps dishing.

Maybe Di made fun of Lagerfeld's ponytail.

Probably the only way his dumb assed quote could get any attention.....

He just loves to make outrageous comments.
Maybe he’s still sore at Di for not loaning him her tiara.

Diana was young, pretty but she was a little 'wierd'. She was insecure and had ooodles of problems. I can see Camilla being perhaps a little more cultured and secure.

Diana had textbook Borderline Personality Disorder. She was carefully selected as the only available, fertile virgin without a 'history' from a noble British family and look what happened. If nothing else the royal family has finally learned that it's better to let your heart rule your head when it comes to having a long, stable, happy(ish) marriage. Diana was a victim in many ways but she was no saint either. Camilla may not be 'pretty' but that doesn't make her a bad person (Diana was equally unfaithful during her marriage and with a whole string of lovers) and if she can keep the notoriously moody, petulant, spoilt Charles under control then she's doing a good job.

Camilla has common sense, always in short supply.

Well, at least one queen thinks highly of her!
