Diana, Princess of Wales and music superstar Mariah Carey locked eyes at a Vogue party shortly before her tragic death. In her autobiography, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, the singer described how Diana seemed like she felt endangered in the situation.

Ms Carey wrote: “I studied how the press hounded her like hyenas.

“I once had a brief but unforgettable moment with Lady Di when our eyes locked at a Vogue party.

“She was in a stunning sapphire-coloured gown, neck dripping in the same blue gems.

“And she had that look — the dull terror of never being left alone burning behind her eyes.

“We were both like cornered animals in couture.”

The pop legend added: “I completely recognised and identified with her.

“We shared that understanding of how it felt always being surrounded by people.”

Ms Carey added that Diana died “shortly after our encounter”.

Diana was well-loved by celebrities from all spheres – and counted Elton John and George Michael among her closest friends.

In an interview quoted in the book ‘George Michael: Freedom, The Ultimate Tribute 1963-2016’, the late singer said he and Diana “clicked in a way that was a little bit intangible, and it probably had more to do with our upbringing than anything else.”

He added: “Diana was the only person that I knew who made me feel like an ordinary person.”

Speaking to the Mirror in 2016, George said: “I thought she was so great not to be consumed by everything that had happened to her and to keep giving and giving.

“I thought she was a really great person – the Elvis of compassion.”
