Our apologies to Post columnist Andrea Peyser: We've neglected you, our favorite Gorgon above all others, for far too long. And, as when a child is deprived of attention, Peyser has now taken to flailing attempts at making sure we remember that she's crusading against injustice — even if it's a stretch. Today's column is a hard-hitting examination of Charles Spencer, the brother of late Princess Diana, and his new furniture line:

Called the "Althorp Collection," the earl ("Just call me Charles," he finally said) is giving Americans a chance to own a distressed-looking sofa like one upon which young Diana sat. Or you can file your nails atop a stiff-backed chair that says "your highness" down to its last, tragic nick and pockmark.

But not to worry about disturbing anyone's precious DNA. These are fakes.

The lamps, tables, chairs and bric-a-brac are all reproductions of antiques that grace Althorp the English house that has shielded 19 generations of Spencers from the elements. Charles lives there with his wife and their seven children. Diana was raised there. And now, she lies in eternal repose on the estate's grounds.

Charles, you see, needs cash.

Mind you, in terms of attention-getting maneuvers, Charles refused to use Diana's name when marketing his product at ABC Carpet & Home — but Peyser, you see, was on deadline.
