There\u2019s a striking image of Princess Diana and Michael Jackson that\u2019s always stuck with me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At first glance, it seems like just a moment shared between two legends, but dig a little deeper, and there\u2019s so much more to their story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Did you know there was more to their bond than what meets the eye?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither\u00a0Princess Diana\u00a0nor\u00a0Michael Jackson\u00a0needs any further introduction \u2013 their iconic status speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

It was certainly not unimaginable that these two\u00a0larger-than-life personalities would meet, but few could have guessed that their encounter would lead to something more than just polite small talk\u2026<\/p>\n

Only met in person once<\/h2>\n

To begin with, Diana, affectionately known as \u201dThe People\u2019s Princess,\u201d was a big music fan. In fact, her favorite band was reportedly Duran Duran, and she loved their music, especially during the 1980s.<\/p>\n

However, Diana\u2019s record collection also featured albums by Michael Jackson, which shows that she truly enjoyed his music as well. For example, she is\u00a0said\u00a0to have played the albums\u00a0Thriller<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Bad<\/em>\u00a0on repeat.<\/p>\n

MJ\u2019s music was also the reason Diana met him on July 16, 1988.<\/p>\n
