a name of hunter was hunted 11 years ago

A year ago, when I was listening to BBC news with my ipod, I heard the following.

"It is the point to remember. The whole of the irony is about Diana, perhaps the greatest this is a girl given a name of the ancient goddess of hunting was in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age."

I realised that the 10th anniversary ceremony of Princess Diana's death was being held. I thought that the speaker of above was pulling up other's leg with strong irony or cracking a joke. However, he was Princess's brother. I was surprised at the phrase. Thinking about the prhase in Japanese, it sounds a little bit cynical or joking. Listeners could keep a straight face. A woman named after hunting was finally hunted. It was the moment that I learned that English people say such a phrase in such a situation.
