While the events of The Crown mostly take place in the U.K., the show does occasionally go State-side. There was Princess Margaret’s trip to Washington, D.C. in Season 3, and now, we have Princess Diana’s three-day tour of New York in Season 4. The Netflix series recreates the royal’s visit to the Big Apple in 1989, where she attended a gala, visited settlement housing complex, and spent time with children with AIDS, solidifying her title as “the People’s Princess.”
Unlike her tour of Australia years prior with Prince Charles and Prince William, Diana traveled solo for the engagements abroad. But even by herself, she won the hearts of New Yorkers. Ahead, take a look at what Diana did during her time in NYC.
