Princess Diana and Rowan Atkinson – 1984

Although they are two of modern British society’s most recognizable figures, they might seem like something of an odd pairing. However, Princess Diana and Rowan Atkinson met in 1984 while greeting the cast of the Royal Variety Performance and the beloved royal family member seemed to be quite star struck.

This perfectly-timed rare picture captured the moment when the “People’s Princess” met the future Mr. Bean actor, who was already a popular comedy in Her Majesty’s Kingdom. Moments later, the Blackadder star returned the gesture (literally) and everyone was royally amused.
