28. Her famous friends.
As you can probably imagine, being the ‘People’s Princess’ meant Diana got to travel all over the world for her charity work.
Elton John was a close friend of Diana’s…
Over the years, she made a lot of A-list friends; including, Elton John, George Michael, Tilda Swinton and Liza Minelli.

All of which had their own stories to tell about Diana, one in particular, being American movie star Kurt Russell.
Diana & Kurt Russell at a black tie event…
“I met her with Prince Charles, it was a screening of Backdraft, a movie,” Kurt explained of their meeting. “They were doing a royal – a royal thing. I was in between the two, kind of interesting at the time! They weren’t getting along great.”

He added:
“During the evening we talked about the paparazzi and the difficulty she had going different places and stuff so I said, well, if you ever get a chance you know come over to the ranch, we’ve got a good long driveway and it’s hard for the paparazzi to get in there so maybe you’d like to do that.
Diana loved to take her sons on holiday…
“Goldie [Hawn] and Fergie [Sarah Ferguson] knew each other through a friend and they put it together, and she brought the boys and they stayed in the house.”
It turns out Diana even befriended their housekeeper, Bonnie, who used to receive nice Christmas cards from Diana.
