Only met in person once
To begin with, Diana 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.
That day, Diana, affectionately known as ”The People’s Princess,” and her then-husband, Prince Charles, attended Michael Jackson’s Bad tour concert at Wembley Stadium, marking both their first and last meeting.
