There’s a striking image of Princess Diana and Michael Jackson that’s always stuck with me.
At first glance, it seems like just a moment shared between two legends, but dig a little deeper, and there’s so much more to their story.
Did you know there was more to their bond than what meets the eye?
Neither Princess Diana nor Michael Jackson needs any further introduction – their iconic status speaks for itself.
It was certainly not unimaginable that these two larger-than-life personalities would meet, but few could have guessed that their encounter would lead to something more than just polite small talk…
Only met in person once
To begin with, Diana, affectionately known as ”The People’s Princess,” was a big music fan. In fact, her favorite band was reportedly Duran Duran, and she loved their music, especially during the 1980s.
However, Diana’s record collection also featured albums by Michael Jackson, which shows that she truly enjoyed his music as well. For example, she is said to have played the albums Thriller and Bad on repeat.
MJ’s music was also the reason Diana met him on July 16, 1988.
