In "Candle in the Wind," Marilyn Monroe is not the focus of the song. The song is more about the pitfalls of life in the public eye. This song, as stated by Bernie Taupin, can be about any public figure who is tormented by the pressures and the standards that the press and fans make him or her life up to.
That was probably what Taupin said, or asserted, after Elton & he changed the song into a song about Princess Diana. I truly wonder if he would have said the same thing after the song's initial release. Sounds more like a rationalization to me.
