RF. The photographer recognized he had captured something unique after taking this picture

There’s this one image of Princess Diana and Michael Jackson that’s always stayed with me. At first, it seems like just a cool moment between two icons. But look closer, and there’s a whole lot more to their story.

You know, neither of them needs an intro – they’re legends. It wasn’t crazy to think they’d meet, but who’d have guessed their meet-up would turn into something more than small talk?

Only Met Once in Person

Diana, the “People’s Princess,” was a huge music fan. She loved Duran Duran in the ’80s, but her record collection also had Michael Jackson albums. She played Thriller and Bad a lot.
