Diana smiled on the June 13, 1994 edition, looking slightly off to the right, as the headline blared: DIANA’S DARING NEW LIFE.
Topless bathing? Holistic healing? Aromatherapy? Anything goes, as a liberated Diana struggles to find herself.Diana’s cover girl outfit?Yes, anything did go for Lady Di, as she was snapped in — of all things — a Philadelphia Eagles varsity bomber jacket.Her fashion sense in this case more fit for Rocky than royalty, Diana — who died 25 years ago this week — had been occasionally photographed through the years in the jacket, which was a gift from then-Eagles owner Leonard Tose.Imagine, Diana drinking a cold one and raising a ruckus with Eagles fans in the cheap seats in the 700 level at old Veterans Stadium.OK, probably not, as Diana wasn’t known as an NFL fan nor did she have any idea about the Eagles until a chance meeting with the team statistician at Grace Kelly’s funeral.
