A Timeline of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s Tumultuous, Tragic Relationship
Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s troubled union is set to once again reenter the spotlight with season four of “The Crown.”…


November 1977: Prince Charles meets Lady Diana for the first time at Althorp House, her 1,500-acre family estate in Northamptonshire, England. At the time, he was dating her older sister Sarah and had traveled up to join her for a shooting weekend. In a later interview, he’d recall “what fun she was” during this initial interaction.
February 1978: Charles and Sarah go on a ski weekend to Klosters in Switzerland (where they are captured by a photographer). It’s here where she allegedly meets a journalist whom she tells she wouldn’t marry Charles “if he were the dustman or the King of England.” Upset about her disclosure to the press, it’s said Charles ended their relationship soon after. However, both sisters remain in his circle, even attending his 30th birthday party in November at Buckingham Palace.
July 1980: Both Charles and Diana are invited to stay at their mutual friend Philip de Pass’s family home in Sussex for the weekend. There, Diana emphatically talks to Charles about the recent death of his beloved great-uncle, Lord Mountbatten. “The next minute, he leapt on me, practically,” she said according to the documentary Diana: In Her Own Words. “But then it sort of built up from there.”
September 1980: Cameras capture Diana at Balmoral, the royal family’s private estate in the Scottish Highlands. Just like that, the secret of their relationship is officially out.
February 1981: Prince Charles proposes to Diana at Windsor Castle. She says yes. At that time, it’s said the couple had only gone out a dozen or so times. Afterward, the press attention on the 19-year-old reaches a fever pitch. Although she handles much of it with grace, the New York Times reports that she once burst into tears at the wheel of her car. “I know it’s just a job they have to do, but sometimes I do wish they wouldn’t,” she said of all the photographers. She moves from a tiny apartment to Clarence House.
The couple formally announces their engagement to the world on February 24. When a reporter asks Charles if they are in love, he famously replies, “whatever ‘in love’ means.”
March 1981: Charles flies to Australia and New Zealand for five weeks, leaving his newly betrothed behind. She’s spotted crying at Heathrow airport upon his departure—not because she is sad, but because before he left, he had taken a phone call with Camilla Parker Bowles. “It just broke my heart,” she later recalled, according to Diana: In Her Own Words.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout
A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.
The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.
There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.
The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.
Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack
Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.
The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.
None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.
Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
