A unique relationship developed behind the scenes between the royal icon and the musical superstar. United by shared ideals and a common sensitivity to the demands of fame, they cultivated a genuine friendship far from the media frenzy.
A historic moment that captivated the world.

It’s July 1988, in the midst of the excitement of Michael Jackson’s Bad tour. That evening, the King of Pop is scheduled to take the stage at the legendary Wembley Stadium in London. Among the spectators: Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the very embodiment of grace and humanity.

Behind the scenes, this touching moment was immortalized. Michael, visibly moved, greeted the woman the public called “the People’s Princess.” Diana, radiant, confessed her joy at finally meeting him. What few could imagine at that moment was that this brief encounter would give birth to a genuine friendship.

A surprising musical decision

Before the concert, Michael Jackson made an unexpected decision: he removed Dirty Diana from his program, worried that the song might be misinterpreted by his illustrious guest.

But Diana, ever the humorous one, asks him why the song is missing. When he explains his concerns, she bursts into genuine laughter and warmly encourages him to perform the piece. Which he does with boundless energy.

A generosity that makes all the difference
