Princess Diana is being remembered during the Superbowl XVII, 2023 over a team, but not for being a football fan

This Is the Unexpected Reason Why Princess Diana Is Being Remembered During Super Bowl XVII

The big day is over, and Kansas City Chiefs have been declared victorious. While
spirits were high during the 2023 Superbowl, an unlikely but well-loved figure
is being remembered among all the buzz. It was none other than Britain’s late
Royal Princess Diana. But how exactly did a UK Royal start trending for an
American sport?

Both the teams had some strong fans, and the Princess of Wales is being
connected to one of the teams. The Princess was no fan of sports and did not
even know much about them. Yet something connected her to Superbowl for an
unexpected reason.


WHY PRINCESS DIANA STARTED TRENDING DURING THIS YEAR’S SUPER BOWL

As a Royalty, Princess Diana would attend many events, including sports, but she
did not know much about American football. However, a jacket she owned is what
connects her to 2023 Super Bowl. As per The List,

the Princess actually owned a Philadelphia Eagles jacket and wore it quite
often. It was actually gifted to her by Jack Edelstein, Eagles statistician.
During their conversation well before the princess’ death, she asked him what
his favorite color was. “Green and silver”, Edelstein replied. The Princess
responded by saying that it was her favorite color as well.



That led him to gift her the custom-made jacket of the Philadelphia Eagles. He
shared this incident only after her tragedy, and while speaking to Philadelphia
Daily News. In fact, she liked it so much that paparazzi would often spot her in
the jacket. Once she was clicked in it while dropping her sons, Prince William
and Prince Harry, at school. Being a well-loved figure, the jacket quickly
became a piece of fashion.

While her love for the team may have been limited to the jacket, fans were over
the moon over the Super Bowl game. The chances of their favorite team kept them
on edge till the end. That was until halftime, and then came the turn.


THE CHIEFS TRIUMPH OVER THE EAGLES

Around 70,000 people saw the Superbowl XVII held in Arizona, as they rooted for
their favorite team. Chiefs won the match with a score of 38-35 after an initial
struggle. The Chief’s fans are celebrating as their team acquired the Lombardi
Trophy but former wide receiver, Antonio Brown, seems to think the game was
rigged

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes earned the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award this
year.
