The photographer recognized he had captured something unique after taking this picture: Behind the scenes of Diana and Michael Jackson’s connection

Diana was an avid music enthusiast, with a particular fondness for the band Duran Duran, whose music she cherished, especially during the 1980s.

In addition to her admiration for Duran Duran, Diana’s record collection included albums by Michael Jackson, indicating her appreciation for his work as well. Notably, she frequently played his albums, Thriller and Bad, on repeat.

It was through her love for Jackson’s music that she had the opportunity to meet him on July 16, 1988.

On that occasion, Diana, affectionately referred to as “The People’s Princess,” attended Michael Jackson’s Bad tour concert at Wembley Stadium with her then-husband, Prince Charles. This event marked both their initial and final encounter.
