There was an article several years ago by the Washington Post questioning the
Princess's heritage, and her husband responded with the name of some tribe
no one heard of. The article concluded that she was about as white as they
come --- just a "wannabe" (but very successful as snowing the folks in these
parts).
I personally believe she has been able to perpetuate this myth because of
Cooke's backing (a symbiotic, parasitic relationship). There are many of us
who have been incensed with Cooke and and the Princess for years, but they
seem impervious to complaints. Washington DC loves their Redskins, and when
anyone brings up the issue, Cooke threatens to pull the team out of the area
and the issue dies. It has never ceased to amaze me that if team were named
the Whiteskins or the Blackskins, everyone would be up in arms, but somehow
the Redskins is not viewed as offensive.
