Kate McGuinness was born the year Princess Diana died and has always “been incredibly saddened whenever I hear about Diana”. But her interest in the royal escalated when she met a woman called Helen via eBay.
Helen had been collecting Australian women’s magazines featuring Princess Diana since the heyday of Di-mania in the 1980s. Kate purchased much of the collection online because “Helen’s the only one in her family who values Di,” and as a result “I’ve ended up with hundreds of magazines”.
