Now that headline seems a stretch. Sure, she had some charitable interests to which she devoted more of her time than other British royalty for cameo appearances. That was quite generous of her, and her example seems to have been neither appreciated nor followed by the rest of 'em.
However, the "best mother" designation seems way off base. Even accounting for the probable exaggeration of the press's close monitoring, she was having numerous affairs, was up all night with lewd and obscene phone calls, was gone a lot, frequently on vacations with lovers, and was clearly an unstable individual. Self-obsessed to the max.
I can't help but think that if she lived down the street many parents wouldn't let their kids play with her kids. Certainly wouldn't let them stay overnight.
