However, as you stare close into the image, the image is a depiction of the princess’ loneliness. This picture led to speculation about his divorce with then husband Prince Charles. Also, it is the same year when they got divorced.

According to several reports, it was in 1992 when rumors circulated about the state of the royal couple’s marriage. And just when they had their official tour of India in February, just days before Valentine’s Day, everyone had eyes on them. The pair was occupied with conflicting schedules but it was expected that the royal couple would visit the beautiful monument together. However, with Charles swamped in meetings, Diana arrived at the Taj Mahal alone.

Here is the viral post on ‘X’. Have a look for yourself:

“You know there is a curse or sought of urban legend that if your photograph is clicked as a couple sitting on bench in front of Tajmahal, your marriage will be in trouble,” mentioned an ‘X’ user. Another person wrote, “My childhood dreamgirl.”

At that moment there were about 30-40 photographers to capture the princess. On being asked about her feelings toward the marble monument, she replied, “It was a fascinating experience, very healing.”

A few months after this, the couple announced their separation in December 1992. However, this did not stop them from continuing their royal duties. In August 1996, the couple got formally divorced. Just one year later, on August 31,1997, the princess was killed in a car accident in Paris.
