Princess Diana’s Secret Visit To Elvis’ Grave

Princess Diana joined the throngs of fans traveling to Graceland for the anniversary of Elvis Presley's death in 1992 — with The National ENQUIRER catching the moment she turned to The King to fight suicidal urges!

Fellow mourners were shocked to see Diana at Elvis' graveside — standing just like any tourist to the Memphis mansion! "She had a man - probably her bodyguard - with her as she walked briskly from her black limo to the gravesite," Sadie Montgomery of Galveston, Texas, told The ENQUIRER. "You couldn't recognize her at first because she had a chiffon scarf over her face. But as she stood in silence with her eyes closed, the wind blew it off her head and there was no mistaking Princess Diana!"

"Being at the gravesite was obviously a very religious experience for her," added Sadie. "When she looked up, there were tears in her eyes. But they seemed to be tears of relief rather than sorrow." But what witnesses like Sadie couldn't imagine was that Diana was actually battling depression over her impending royal divorce from Prince Charles!

"She went to Graceland to fulfill a lifelong dream," a royal insider told The ENQUIRER at the time, "and to help her out of a severe bout of depression that threatened to trigger a new suicide attempt...She's so convinced her marriage to Charles is over that she is buying a luxury home in Palm Beach."

"But working out all the arrangements for the move made her very depressed," added the source, "because it suddenly sank in that she would have to leave her children behind with Charles in England when they separated!"

"Friends had not seen her so sad since her previous suicide attempts," continued the insider. "So someone suggested a side trip to Elvis' home might help. It's something she's always dreamed of doing. She was convinced that being at the grave of her hero — being so close to him — would help her overcome the pain she was feeling."

Regina Albright of Saskatchewan, Canada took the photograph of the touching scene, saying: "She was trying very hard not to attract any attention or create a stir. It was clear that the visit was a very personal thing. Out of respect, everyone there moved to one side to let her be alone with Elvis. I actually saw her lips moving as if she were talking to him. And when she turned to walk away, you could see in her face that a load had been taken off her shoulders!"
