The Hollywood star has confirmed long-standing rumors that she is one of the most devoted fans of the late representative of the British monarchy. The princess of pop has repeatedly expressed her sympathy for the “people’s princess”. Britney has also often been compared to Diana Spencer due to their rocky paths in the public eye. The Toxic singer feels a special bond with the princess, who died in 1997.

Spears was caught on video in a spacious hall, on the wall of which hung a portrait of Diana in a large oval frame. Pictured is the former wife of King Charles III. she wore the famous Knots of Love headband and pearl earrings. Britney appeared in a tight barbie mini dress and white high boots. She put on make-up with an emphasis on the eyes and pulled her hair into a casual hairstyle with loose strands. Her image was completed by a gold necklace with a pendant. The singer danced to the iconic song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. “Beauty in pink…today,” Spears said succinctly.

The singer sees in Diana a kindred spirit, whose life was also marked by scrutiny and battles with the paparazzi. In 2009, Vanity Fair journalist Steve Dennis wrote an article titled “The Diana and Britney Connection”. “In many ways, these are two women who have been swallowed up and defined by fame and left lost as individuals in a bubble,” Steve said.

The artist and representative of the monarchy also had a well-known friend in common in the person of Sir Elton John. In May 2021, Spears paid tribute to Diana after a scandal erupted over a 1995 interview Queen Elizabeth II’s sister-in-law gave to the BBC’s Panorama programme. It has emerged that journalists took advantage of the princess at a vulnerable time in her life, the Daily Mail reports.

Britney then posted a photo of Diana Spencer. “She never wanted to be queen. She wanted to be the heart of the people! She was more than a class… She was a true genius, right down to the way she talked about how motherly she cared for her children. Her tragedy is that she had to completely forget her own strength! 750 million people watched her wedding on TV! She will forever be remembered as one of the most remarkable women of today,” the singer wrote.

Spears also found her hard life the subject of TV stories for the BBC, which released the controversial documentary Battle for Britney: Fans, Money and Custody a few weeks earlier. The star called the tape “hypocritical”.
