Did Princess Diana ever sign a Pokemon card?

Diana, Princess of Wales sadly passed away in 1997, a year after the release of Pokemon Base Set in Japan.

From what I gather, her last trip to Japan was in Februry 1995. It is however still possible someone may have requested her to sign something Pokemon related in 1996 or 1997. Has anyone ever heard of a Princess Diana signed card?

Imagine just filling a binder with cards signed by celebrities that dont have any affiliation to pokemon. Would be weird but definitely cool and unique

Won’t get into politics but would be VP Our honorable president not T.rump

A while back on the forum, someone picked up a Manny Pacqiao signed fighting energy card, was cool!

Edit: I saw it on eBay and almost jumped on it at the time.

@0ean The words ā€˜t r u m p’ and ā€˜b u b b l e’ (without spaces of course) are both automatically changed to ā€˜Our honorable president’ and ā€˜bubble’.

The first to avoid talk about politics, although it’s pretty annoying with words like ā€˜to Our honorable president’ (ā€˜to t r u m p’).

As for the other one that starts with a B, I think it was changed after some discussions on Discord (not sure since I wasn’t active on Discord at that time yet). The weird thing with this one, is that every time you edit without changing that word, it recursively modifies it, since ā€˜b u b b l e b a t h’ contains the word ā€˜b u b b l e’ itself. :confused: Those kind of things is why I personally hate censoring, but whatever.


But to be back on topic: a Captain Pikachu jumbo signed by Johnny ā€˜Captain Jack Sparrow’ Depp would be pretty cool. :blush:

Hell yeah!

It would be the best! I’d do just about anything for a signed Chinese copy of Martial Arts Dojo from him. He just seems like a such a guy.

I spoke with Renae Plant, Director of the Princess Diana Museum, which specializes in Diana’s personal items, memorabilia, and signed items. She confirmed that while unlikely, it is not impossible such a card exists. Diana did do signings in public of personal items in 1996 and 1997.

I just wanted to say that I love your dedication in looking into this. I saw your recent post on Instagram with Diana and I actually said ā€œNO WAYā€ out loud - then I realised it was photoshopped, hahaha

So who’s censoring these words? And why?

And how could censoring the name of POTUS to read ā€œhonorable presidentā€ be a way to *avoid* talking about politics? (It’s an accurate statement—he’s a an excellent and honorable president!—but it comes off as a snide political remark)
