The news of the deaths of the three people you mentioned above didn't really make its way here (except that death of Diana), but periods of national mourning leave me alienated for the reasons you mentioned above.
Even when I do mourn the person in question, it feels somewhat impersonal and distant, and I never seem to mourn as long and as deep as everyone else does. Sometimes I wonder whether anyone actually mourns as long and as deep as the media says they should/do.
