Michael Jackson talks with Barbara Walters about Princess Diana in 1997

"In my heart, I was saying “I love you Diana. Shine. And shine on forever. Cause you are the true princess of the people.“
~ Michael Jackson

RIP Princess Diana
(July 1, 1961 - August 31, 1997).

He described how everyone felt the day he died 😭😭💓

[toptaemin]

Michael knew that he was going to be killed way before his death. He was scared & threatened for his life. Always in our heart MJ

[rcmyxcs]

two exceptional people who made the world much brighter

[Karisma]

His grief over her death was heart-felt

[robertmcghintheorca]

In a sad twist of fate, Diana died just two days after Michael's 39th birthday. Both were kind and gentle souls who just wanted to make the world a better place. I hope that they're now in a much better place. Rest in peace, Diana and Michael.

Michael actually wanted to marry Diana and I think they would've made a great match becuase theey felt the same way about children and the future for them. They felt each other's pain with the press.

Rip princess Diana and the king of pop two iconic people who are sadly missed

[modernrock]

You can see in his eyes how much he loved her. Rip to both these legends.

[helmutrosendal]

honestly michael was the prince she deserved

[jami]

I swear, this man knows what it’s like to be a true friend. His heart is so pure. They were both so very lucky to have each other’s friendship.

[sofiagiapanta]

The best people on the planet meeting each other was the best thing.

Michael Jackson was a gift to us and he was treated so badly on this earth. He was so emphatic and his heart so big that it couldn't contain all the love he had so he went to heaven where it would be appreciated.

[anthonycampos]

I hope Michael is featured in season 5 of The Crown. MJ and the Princess were good friends.

[CJ-hcud]

Michael had fame fortune. But he seemed so lonely. He wanted to be loved. We all want someone who cares. RIP

[AreaCode]

if only someone had asked why a DOCTOR was the first person he saw when he woke up, with the news of Diana’s death ...

[NP-lres]

I am very sad ....both are great humanitarians and pure souls

[kristinbrown]

Gosh, I miss Michael! BOTH HE AND DIANA ARE SORELY MISSED AND DEEPLY LOVED!

[narjisseb]

Omg he was so sweet I can't understand why the media hated him 😭 may you rest in peace beautiful soul 💔

Those lyrics in the song "Privacy", I'm quite sure they're for Diana :

"Some of you still wonder why, one of my friends had to die
To get the message across, that yet you haven't heard
My friend was chased and confused, like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night, my pride was snatched away
She get no second chance, she's ridiculed and harassed
Please tell me why
Now there's a lesson to learn
Respect's not given, it's earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity"

And let's not forget the beginning of the song :
"Ain't the pictures enough? Why do you go through so much
To get the story you need, so you can bury me?"

Well yes. They burried both of them and the lesson has never been learnt. Never will be.

Not surprised how intuitive he was. Barbara stfu. I love him so much...there's no one like Michael Jackson.
