According to the 62-year-old rocker, he once met her sons William and Harry, who told the band they would listen to the 1984 hit Wild Boys as she drove them around.

“That idea stuck with me, that those little boys would go, ‘Wild boys!'” John said.

At Diana’s memorial concert in 2006, Simon Le Bon said: “We are honored that she always called Duran Duran her favorite band, because she was definitely our favorite princess.”

The Crown has continuously criticized her choice to dramatize traumatic moments from Diana’s final years, including her infamous 1995 interview with Martin Bashir and the Paris car accident that caused her untimely death in 1997.

In a new interview with British Vogue, she shared how she was “overwhelmed” by the prospect of taking on the character — and how she thought about recreating her “revenge dress” scenes.

She told the publication: ‘I think that really overwhelmed me at first, the idea of ​​this kind of collective’ [of Diana disciples] Outside.

‘It’s a trap, isn’t it? A swampy swamp. So I went and stood over the counter and said, ‘I can’t do this.’

During the chat, she also thought about wearing Diana’s iconic black “revenge dress” – which she said was “super daring” for the time.

She explained: ‘It was busy! It’s a complex dress. I let the fitting happen around me as I thought about what the dress meant. Why this dress? She’d had it for two or three years. It was super daring then.

“She claimed the space. The way she got out of that car, the clarity, the strength of her when that car door opened, she was so fast and so forward. It is extraordinary to watch.

“To decide what to say about yourself through fashion… it was currency. An incredibly powerful coin.’
