Basically, she's being used as a celebrity IMO. She is receiving the red carpet treatment, going to the highest places in the lands, mixing with the world powers..... but all this is not necessary . If any other child had encouraged their school mates to play truant, I doubt they would have got away with it.
It's all programmed and she is a tool for other people like Green Peace etc. in an attempt to make the world see their story.
I'm quite sure she doesn't mind, ( which kid wouldn't like all the attention ), but she is after all only 16 yrs old and there is a huge lifetime of responsibility being placed on her shoulders.
she does annoy me a bit, and I suppose she'll be telling all the yachtsmen and women how to 'splice the mainbrace' now !
