Princess Diana had a lifelong friendship with Michael Jackson. They became friends due to their mutual love for charity and Diana’s love for his songs. And no one could quite understand what Princess Diana was going through with the media and press quite like the King of Pop could, according to Biography. Jackson donated to the Prince’s Trust charity and the children’s charity of London’s Great Ormand Street Hospital, which were causes close to Diana’s heart. They met just one time in their lives, in July 1988 when Princess Diana and Prince Charles attended Jackson’s Wembley Stadium performance during his Bad tour.
Funnily enough, Jackson didn’t perform his song, “Dirty Diana,” when he knew she was in the audience. Even though the song was not about Lady D, Jackson reportedly didn’t want to ruffle any feathers and be inappropriate in front of the British royals. Diana asked Jackson in a meet-and-greet beforehand if he was going to perform it, though, and he had to tell her no. He told Barbara Walters in 1997 that she replied, “No! I want you to do it. Do it. Do the song.” Biography.com reported that the two stayed close despite only one meeting until her death in 1997.
