Would be pretty ironic considering that he considered the whole drama after Princess Dians's death ridiculous. He doesn't think the public should be that involved in celebrities lives because they do not know them and they are just normal people too. He had a whole bitchfight with Elton John about him "writing songs for dead blondes now". To him this kind of admiration is too close to the blind, unreasonable adoration British people have for the royal family which is an institution he absolutely abhors ("I would not let anyone fro mthat family touch me with a stick, never mind a sword!" when he refused being knighted too).

Keith always makes sense talking about music, guitar play, gigs and touring under all circumstances. But don't bother him with silly questions about his hair, clothes, generation gaps or when he's expecting to die. The last years he seems to have extended his repertoire with e.g. growing lemons, his family life and his father. Interesting, though very private person.
