A long-standing rumor about Britney Spears and her apparent obsession with Diana, Princess of Wales has finally been confirmed.
Spears, 41, often referred to as the “Princess of Pop,” has expressed her empathy for the late People’s Princess in recent years, and some fans believe the Toxic hitmaker feels a special connection to the traumatic life of the British royal family.
The speculation was finally confirmed on Saturday, when Spears uploaded a bizarre Instagram video of her dancing at home in front of a framed portrait of Diana.
Dressed in a sassy pink mini dress, sunglasses and white boots, the pop star waved suggestively to Cyndi Lauper’s iconic song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
“BEAUTIFUL IN PINK… TODAY,” the Circus singer wrote in her caption alongside a pink bow emoji.
Fans quickly noticed the prominent image of Diana in the background, with one tweeting, “My mood today is Princess Diana’s framed photo at Britney Spears’ house.”
“Britney Spears is a co-worshipper of Princess Diana, so truly hers,” added another.
It’s no surprise that the troubled pop star sees a kindred spirit in Diana, whose career in the spotlight has also been marred by intense criticism and battles with the paparazzi.
