Anyone have any ideas? Mine is Princess Diana Spencer of Wales (from 1981 until her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996) vs. First Lady  Eva Duarte de Perón of Argentina (from 1946 until her death in 1952). Who better deserves the title, "Queen of Hearts"?

Similarities

•Both grew up with humble lifestyles (though Eva was born in poverty and Diana's family was allied with the British Royal Family) before marrying into wealth and power (Diana to Prince Charles of Wales and Heir Apparent, Eva to Colonel-turned-President Juan Perón).

•Both were loved by the people and loathed by the elite (Diana's husband even began loathing her during the final years of their marriage before they divorced).

•Both died tragically young (Eva to cancer at age 33, Diana to an automobile accident at age 36) and were given state funerals, typically reserved to people like their husbands (or ex-husband in Diana's case).

•Both were almost constantly in the public eye and, thus, had a very strong sense of personal fashion and weren't afraid to embrace it even though it often brought ridicule and condemnation.

•Both were very charitable women, and even had charity foundations named after them (The Eva Perón Foundation and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund).

•In addition, Argentina was a colony of the United Kingdom at one point, and, interestingly enough, it was during President Perón's first term that Argentina broke free from the UK.

Possible Insults/Bragging to be Used

•Eva: at least her husband loved her and stayed with her until she died.

•Diana: at least she had kids with hers

•Eva: the multiple movies, books, and musical made about her since her death, not to mention that she was a successful actress in her own right

•Diana: the men that Eva supposedly slept with had given her cervical cancer (even though Perón's first wife died the same way)

•Eva: the entire country stopped to mourn her death, and all flower shops have sold  out by the following day because the people wanted to pay their respects to her.

•Diana: the king at the time, her ex's grandfather, King George VI, didn't want Eva to visit, formally, during her Rainbow Tour of Europe.

What do you think? Do you have any other ideas?
