In December 1995, a unique encounter took place between two global icons: Princess Diana and John F. Kennedy Jr. The magazine People reported that the then 35-year-old politician made a discreet visit to New York’s Carlyle Hotel for a private discussion with the 34-year-old British royal.
Kennedy Jr.’s objective was to persuade Diana to grace the cover of his newly launched magazine, George. To maintain secrecy, he used a service entrance. In the lobby, he was met by Diana’s private secretary, Patrick Jephson, who then escorted him to the princess’s suite.
Over coffee, they engaged in a conversation that Jephson later likened to a “child’s game of hide-and-seek,” describing the atmosphere as warm and heartfelt. Diana ultimately declined the offer, following her assistant’s advice. Jephson believed that the cover would have been too powerful a stamp of approval for the nascent publication.
According to Jephson, there was a “light, flirtatious tone” in the dialogue between Diana and Kennedy Jr., a characteristic of how the princess interacted with men. However, Kennedy Jr.’s prominent status added a “special flair” to their rendezvous.
Previously, British royal family expert Tom Sykes suggested that British intelligence services might have been involved in Princess Diana’s death. He pointed out numerous inconsistencies in the official account of the accident that occurred on August 31, 1997, in Paris.
