Yeah, I assume that was the intended reference.

I see, shouldn't there be a deletion indicator or something? Or is it okay to come up with a sub-string?

It's not my area of expertise (caring about the royal family), but I believe it was a well known nickname of hers: "Princess Di".
Or perhaps it's just a case of Chinese Whispers, and "Di" was simply the last thing her wicked stepmother shouted at her before she left for France. The butler must have overheard this, and naturally figured it was a nickname.
I see your confusion though, it's not an obvious one if you aren't familiar with her.

No, no, no. That was Phillip with the Killer Bees that were trained in assassination by MI6.

I don't have a "this weeks theme" CCC ready, so instead ... here's one I had for a previous theme:
Losing his drugs and shirt, the final hell (6, 10)
Next week will be unthemed.

I'm pretty sure I know which theme it belongs to and it's the one I know even less about than Harry Potter!

I might have the answer but I'm not sure how the first part of the clue fits.

I will freely say it's not Harry Potter related!

Can I answer without having to come up with one on Monday. I might not be able to, so...
|

You can delegate it if work intrudes, so if you want to I'll take Monday if you have the right answer.

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine: also known to De Yoof as "Ecstasy", or "E".
It's a pretty common substitution in CCC's.

It wasn't around in my drug days either: we have to content ourselves with Tetrahydrocannabinol, alpha-methylphenethylamine, and methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3- (benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1] octane-2-carboxylate.*
* Or was we called them blow, speed, and coke.
