Princess Diana: The Early Years

Blair MacMillan and Carley Thorne
About this episode

Welcome to our very first mini-season of Summer School! PRINCESS DIANA


In this ep, Carley and Blair go over Diana's pre-engagement years, before she was the people's (and specifically, the girl's) princess.


We also go over the Bubly DJ at Pride, ski lifts, and both girls are having summer meltdowns.
