That’s how she met MJ on July 16, 1988. She and Prince Charles went to his Bad tour concert at Wembley. It was their one and only meeting.
Jackson told Barbara Walters in ’97 that Diana said she was honored to meet him. He was super nervous shaking her hand – you can see it in the pics. Why the nerves? He’d cut “Dirty Diana” from the setlist, worried it’d bug her.
Diana’s Reaction
But Diana wasn’t happy about that. Before the show, she asked if he’d do the song. When he said no because of her, she told him to go for it. And he did.
MJ clearly liked Diana a lot. He gave her two tiny tour jackets for William and Harry. And Diana? She danced the whole concert while Charles sat.
