I don't know who Lady Di is in particular, but Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a very particular type of dementia.
It's caused by burning your brain off chronically from drinking and damaging certain parts of it through a Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency.
It has unique features such as confabulation, where sufferers will involuntarily and unknowingly make up fake narratives and backstories to fill gaps in their memories.
It's also accompanied by major balance and coordination issues, with possible loss of learned movements (ie. brushing one's teeth, picking up a telephone, etc).
Can you catch it from taking it in the ass every weekend during the 1980s?
