Princess Diana would have turned 64 on Tuesday, July 1, and as the world reflects on what her life might have been like today, one royal expert is sharing a meeting she had with the late royal just before her tragic 1997 death. Tina Brown, author of The Diana Chronicles, wrote in Tatler that Diana was planning a strategy not unlike that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In the piece, which was originally published on Diana's 60th birthday, Brown wrote that the royal "had come to New York for the charity auction of her iconic 1980s dresses at Christie’s – Prince William’s idea – and was focused on repositioning herself as a woman of substance." The royal expert added that Diana, who had finalized her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996, "knew she was in a unique position to leverage her global celebrity for humanitarian causes."
