Jackson, respecting Diana\u2019s sensibilities, chose not to include the song in his performance out of deference to her, despite it being one of his popular hits.<\/p>\n<p>While their initial encounter may have been brief, it sparked a friendship between the two icons. According to Jackson\u2019s bodyguard, Matt Fiddes, Jackson harbored romantic feelings for Diana and even expressed a desire to marry her. However, Jackson\u2019s son, Prince, has described their relationship as platonic, emphasizing Jackson\u2019s admiration for Diana\u2019s love for her children and her desire to be a good person.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the nature of their relationship, it\u2019s evident that Jackson held Diana in high regard. He canceled several performances following her tragic death in 1997 as a mark of respect. Jackson himself passed away more than a decade later, leaving behind a legacy of music and philanthropy that continues to inspire millions around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The meeting between Princess Diana and Michael Jackson during his Bad World Tour in 1988 remains a fascinating moment in\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":47544,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[877],"class_list":["post-47543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-princess-diana"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
