Diana’s ghost follows William and Kate to Taj Mahal

Prince William and his wife Kate arrived at the Taj Mahal Saturday, wrapping up their week-long trip to India and Bhutan with a visit that carries poignant echoes for Britain's royal family.

While they looked happy and much in love couple, William’s past loomed large.

When the late Princess Diana was photographed sitting alone outside the tragic monument to love in 1992, it sparked much media speculation and later became a symbol of her failing marriage.

While William and Kate's Taj visit was documented worldwide, none forgot Diana - she was omnipresent

As temperatures soared, workers sprinkled ice water on the famous ‘Diana bench’ in front of the monument, before the pair posed for a photo.

William may have hoped recreating his mother’s Taj Mahal pose would finally lay her ghost to rest, but it was far from that.

Diana, the people's princess lives.
