Over the years, several talented women have stepped into Princess Diana’s shoes to tell her story.

Diana’s likeness has been portrayed on screens and stages before and after her tragic death in 1997. Her love story and fallout with King Charles was dramatized by actresses like Catherine Oxenberg and Caroline Bliss in the ’80s. Decades later, big names like Naomi Watts and Kristen Stewart starred in big-screen biopics and dramas that explored Diana’s life in the spotlight.

Most recently, Elizabeth Debicki plays the beloved figure in seasons 5 and 6 of The Crown, a role she inherited from Emma Corrin a season earlier. As the hit series airs its final installment, see all of the stars who have taken on the role of Princess Diana.

Debicki made her debut as the late princess on season 5 of The Crown, which followed the dissolution of Diana’s marriage to then-Prince Charles. In the sixth and final season of the series, Debicki — whose credits include roles in The Night Manager and Christopher Nolan’s Tenet — portrays Diana in the final years of her life, leading up to her tragic death in 1997.

Speaking to PEOPLE at The Crown‘s season 6 premiere, Debicki shared that she “learned a lot” playing the royal.

“I don’t think you come anywhere near sort of learning as much as I learned about this character and not feel that the only thing worth doing in life is putting love into the world,” Debicki said at the event in Los Angeles.

Having played Joan Jett in The Runaways and Jean Seberg in Seberg, the actress is no stranger to stepping into the shoes of real-life icons.

Pablo Larraín’s biopic takes place over three days in December 1991 as Princess Diana spends Christmas at Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham estate and realizes she needs to end her marriage to Prince Charles. U.K. culture professor Pauline Maclaran tells PEOPLE that the Twilight star’s turn is “very likely to be a favorable portrayal for a younger audience.”

Corrin channeled some of the Princess of Wales’s most iconic looks in season 4 of Netflix’s hit palace intrigue drama. According to Maclaran, “The Crown really favors Diana. It’s turning her into the heroine by focusing on her virtuous side.” (The role has likewise proven favorable for Corrin, whose interpretation garnered a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2021.)

The London-born actress began previews on Broadway in March 2020 before global lockdowns sent Broadway into an indefinite hiatus. But the show announced its return in August 2021, teasing that it would tell “The story you only thought you knew.”

Set in 1981, the musical follows de Waal’s Diana as she prepares to marry into the royal family, then explores the aftermath of that marriage, including Diana’s complicated relationship with the press and Prince Charles’s highly publicized affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles (later titled the Duchess of Cornwall through her marriage to the Prince of Wales).

The Australian actress’s turn as the beloved royal was less than adored. In fact, Maclaran tells PEOPLE, “It was widely panned.”

Watts had put in the work — training with a dialogue coach for six weeks, watching interviews repeatedly and physically transforming with the help of wigs and prosthetics — and she even claimed Diana had visited her in a dream to give her permission, but “her portrayal was seen as fairly wooden,” says Maclaran.

From there… Princess Diana figured very little into the love story of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — but royal watchers who tuned in hoping to see the Queen and Kate Middleton playing Wii Tennis were in luck!

Based on the biography by Anna Pasternak, the tell-all TV movie detailing Captain James Hewitt’s affair with Diana showed that “her story contained all the elements of fairy tale and tragedy,” says Bastin.

Based on Andrew Morton’s biography of the same name, which was covertly recorded when the princess was unhappy in her marriage and raising her young sons, this TV biopic chronicled the dissolution of Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles.

A year after 750 million people around the globe watched Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles, A Royal Love Story dramatized that momentous day. At the time, Diana was still viewed “as the fairy-tale princess, and the early, quite cheesy films reflect that,” says Maclaran.

Catherine Oxenberg — Twice!

The soon-to-be Dynasty star — who is actually the second cousin once removed of Prince Charles through her mother, Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia — made her acting debut in 1982’s The Royal Romance and reprised the role of Diana 10 years later in Charles & Diana: Unhappily Ever After.

Though she’d scored an invite to Charles and Diana’s wedding in 1981, choosing to play her cousin-by-marriage did have its consequences. She told Closer in 2019, “The only thing that the film cost me was return visits to Buckingham Palace.”

Former football legend David Beckham appeared in the Royal Box at day one of Wimbledon amid Princess of Wales Kate Middleton’s absence.

Beckham, who shares a close bond with King Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton,

sat in the prestigious booth to watch Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz take on Estonia’s Mark Lajal, as the tennis tournament kicked off on Monday.

Beckham was accompanied by his mother, Sandra, and the pair were joined by many star-studded faces, including Jamie Cullen, Alexander Armstrong, and Katherine Jenkins.

Later, taking to Instagram, David Beckham shared his photo with mom from the royal box and said “One of my favourite sports events of the year always love being at Wimbledon.”

David Beckham made his appearance amid reports Kate Middleton, who is undergoing cancer treatment, could also make Wimbledon appearance amid recovery.

The future queen is a regular at Wimbledon and royal watchers are wondering if Kate will make an appearance at the tennis tournament this year.

Kensington Palace has not yet confirmed whether she will be attending Wimbledon.

Prince Harry risks being removed from line of succession in royal revenge plot. Prince Harry’s position as fifth in line to the throne could be in jeopardy due to his permanent residence outside the UK and absence of royal duties.

According to a source, discussions at the Royal Family’s summit at Balmoral this summer may not only address Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles but could also consider removing them from the line of succession. “The order of succession can be altered by statute if a member of the Royal Family permanently resides outside the UK and no longer undertakes royal duties,” said the source.

“If that were to happen, Harry’s children could also be removed from the line of succession.” Robert Blackburn, a professor of constitutional law at King’s College London, tells Express.co.uk that although living abroad is not a legal disqualification for becoming monarch, Prince Harry can still be removed from the line of succession by an Act of Parliament. “Like Edward VIII, Prince Harry does not wish to perform the role of royalty expected of him and has withdrawn to live abroad. Presumably therefore Prince Harry would be agreeable to abdicate his place in succession if for any reason this became an issue in royal affairs being legislated upon,” said Blackburn.

“Several Acts of Parliament have changed the law on succession or imposed conditions for becoming Monarch, notably the Bill of Rights 1689 and Act of Settlement 1701. More recently Edward VIII voluntarily abdicated and was replaced as King by his brother George VI by Act of Parliament in 1936.” Blackburn adds that for a constitutional measure like this, it is customary for the British Government to take the initiative and introduce the Bill – not the monarch. “Backbench MPs or Peers can technically introduce a Private Members’ Bill on the subject, but it would get nowhere and be blocked by the government from proceeding further than a formal First Reading,” said Blackburn.

“The only possible scenario, as I see it, is for there to be a Government Bill being prepared on another royal issue, such as an amendment to the Regency Act dealing with eligible counsellors of state, and a clause being added at the same time which Prince Harry himself requests that removes him from the line of succession as a mark of him clearly wishing to relinquish all ties to the public work of the Monarchy and Royal Family.” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step down as senior working royals in January 2020, stating that they planned to “work to become financially independent”.

However, shortly after taking up residency in the United States, the couple embarked on what was described as a “royal bashing session” where they appeared in a chat with Oprah Winfrey, filmed a documentary for Netflix and Harry slated his family in his memoir, Spare. The couple reportedly further angered the Royal Family when they undertook a tour of Colombia recently which saw them visit the South American country to shine a light on cyberbullying and female empowerment. Express.co.uk exclusively revealed last week that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles will be up for discussion at Balmoral when the Royal Family meet for their annual summer holiday.

According to a source, one point of discussion at what has been dubbed a “royal family summit” will be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and how they will fit in with the Royal Family over the next decade. “Not only will Harry and Meghan’s tours and upcoming trip to Canada be on the agenda, but also their titles and peerages will be up for discussion,” said the source. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have just completed their second quasi-royal tour this year – in Colombia, where they spent four days last week promoting mental health among youngsters and the military community, cyberbullying, female empowerment and the cultural richness of Colombia.

Back in May, the Sussex couple also visited Nigeria. Royal commentator Emily Andrews dubbed Harry and Meghan’s “tours” as “somewhat risky” due to them not having the protection or diplomatic expertise of the Foreign Office as they are not working royals. The couple were invited to Colombia by Vice President Francia Márquez who provided them a full security detail during their visit, the cost of which reportedly hit the country with a £1.5 million bill, according to local media. As they sensationally quit their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US, the Sussexes no longer travel at the request of the UK Government on official overseas royal visits.

A day after posting photos of themselves wearing their wedding outfits again, the Becks revealed some photos from their 25th wedding anniversary photoshoot.

‘We did it. Can’t believe it’s been 25 years and they still fit,’ the couple’s joint Instagram post read, accompanied by a crying and laughing emoji, a ring and a purple heart.

The once-beautiful couple recreated the outfits and two throne-like chairs from their 1999 wedding.

In the post, they both named their children and expressed that they ‘love them very much’. Mrs. Becks said her husband ‘still makes me laugh’ after all these years.

In the comments section, fans congratulated the Becks on their silver wedding anniversary. Many compared them to the King and Queen.

The word ‘icon’ was mentioned the most by followers as they seemed to be back in the 1990s.

The image was sparkling on the outside, but on Instagram Story, Vic revealed some behind-the-scenes photos of many incidents during the fitting. Mrs. Becks posted a moment when her husband struggled to put on his pants and vest. The former England midfielder laughed and seemed to suck in his stomach to fit his pants. He also had difficulty putting on his vest and it seemed like his shirt was torn.

Vic seemed to have no trouble with the Antonio Berardi dress when she posed perfectly alone in front of the mirror or with her husband. But in the video posted by Becks late on July 4, the fashion designer could not zip up her dress even with the help of her daughter Harper and close friend Ken Paves. When her husband asked where she was, Vic lied that she was in the gym and burst out laughing when he discovered she was having trouble with her dress.

The couple finally fit into their ‘outstanding’ wedding dress from years ago and had some satisfying souvenir photos. Vic also revealed a picture of her youngest son Cruz wearing his father’s purple suit.

On July 4, 1999, the MU midfielder and the Spice Girls singer held a wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland after more than two years of dating. In addition to the purple tuxedo, the couple also wore an ivory wedding dress.

In later interviews, the Becks couple said that at that time they did not think much about choosing a unique purple wedding dress but just wanted to have a happy and comfortable wedding day.

After the 1999 wedding, the couple had three more children, two boys and one girl. After many ups and downs in their marriage, the Becks couple still held hands and were admired for their image of a happy and successful family.

David Beckham had the best seat in the house for Emma Raducanu’s Wimbledon return on Monday.

The English football legend and his mother Sandra enjoyed a front-row spot in the Royal Box

to watch Raducanu defeat Mexican lucky loser Renata Zarazua 7-6(0), 6-3 on Centre Court.

Beckham has been a frequent visitor at Wimbledon over the last years, frequently accompanying his sons to take in a day of tennis.

Raducanu wasn’t the only British success story on Day 1. No.148 Lily Miyazaki, 28, won her first Wimbledon main-draw match by defeating Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch 6-2, 6-1.

This is Miyazaki’s third Grand Slam main-draw appearance. She will face Rothesay International champion Daria Kasatkina next.

Beckham wasn’t the only British legend in the Centre Court stands. Sir David Attenborough received a standing ovation as he took his seat before the match.

Superstars from all walks of life are filling the seats in the Royal Box as the iconic tournament gets underway.

David Beckham was amongst the big names earning an invitation to the exclusive viewing area.

And the Manchester United and England hero brought his mum with him to enjoy the tennis alongside him.

Also in attendance was famous Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins who watched with her husband Andrew Levitas.

Other stars watching the tennis included pop star Pixie Lott and music icon Sir Cliff Richard.

As well as Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher, pop sensation James Blunt and a number of actors from some of TV’s biggest shows.

While Sir David Attenborough was also spotted watching on in the Royal Box.

The environmentalist and broadcasting legend, 98, has a long standing connection to tennis.

Attenborough spearheaded a campaign to change tennis balls to the colour yellow.

In the late 1960’s while working for the BBC, Attenborough was tasked with bringing colour to British televisions.

And in a bid to make things easier for viewers at home, he recommended changing the colour of the ball from white to yellow.

All the stars were hoping to watch some good tennis as they took their seats on centre court.

And the opening tie for them to tuck into was Carlos Alcaraz vs Mark Lajal.

While Emma Raducanu will start her campaign against Reneta Zarazua afterwards.

The 2021 US Open champ was due to face Ekaterina Alexandrova, but saw the 22nd seed pull out with illness this morning.

She was swiftly replaced by ‘lucky loser’ Zarazua.

Stars have to be invited into the Royal Box, with only 74 seats up for grabs for the elite fans.

It’s been used for guests of Wimbledon since 1922 and has seen British and overseas Royal Families attend over the years.

David Beckham, the iconic British soccer star, has recently come under the spotlight not just for his sports legacy but also for his potential eligibility for Israeli citizenship.

This discovery, spurred by Tom Bower’s new biography The House of Beckham:

Money, Sex and Power, has prompted the Jerusalem Post to explore Beckham’s Jewish roots and qualification under the Law of Return.

Beckham’s eligibility for Israeli citizenship stems from his Jewish ancestry. The Law of Return grants the right of Aliyah to anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent.

Beckham’s maternal grandfather, Joseph West, was Jewish, making Beckham eligible. Beckham has often spoken with pride about his Jewish heritage.

He remembers how his grandfather ensured the family kept Jewish traditions, such as attending bar mitzvahs and wearing a kippah at family events.

“I am part of the Jewish community, and I am proud to say it,” Beckham said during an interview at the St John’s Wood Synagogue, as reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. He fondly recalled visiting his grandparents every Saturday, where traditional Jewish dishes like chicken soup and matzah balls were staples.

Beckham also has a Hebrew tattoo on his left arm that reads, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,” a quotation from the Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible.

Beckham’s Jewish heritage

Beckham’s maternal grandfather, Joseph West, was James Walter West’s son and Hannah Llewellyn’s son. Joseph was born in London and raised in a Jewish household, according to EthniCelebs.com. Beckham has shared that his grandfather made sure they kept up with Jewish traditions and that he wore a kippah at family events.

“Every Saturday morning, I used to see my grandfather – you’d walk in the house to my grandmother preparing chicken soup and matzah balls and latkes,” Beckham recounted, illustrating the deeply ingrained Jewish traditions in his upbringing.

Bower’s biography, released this month, does not directly address Beckham’s Jewish connections. However, it provides an in-depth look at the Beckhams’ public and private lives, offering new insights into their relationship, careers, and global brand management.

This thorough exploration has allowed the Post to revisit and highlight Beckham’s Jewish heritage in the context of his potential Israeli citizenship.

Key revelations from the book include claims about the strength of the Beckhams’ marriage, David’s alleged affairs, and their efforts to maintain a polished public image despite personal challenges. The biography suggests that their marriage has faced significant trials and that their public personas have been carefully curated to support their brand, as The Independent details.

Despite their promotion from League Two last season, Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham won’t

have to wait long to face off against the Class of ’92’s Salford City again as they gear up for next season’s EFL Trophy.

The Red Dragons are set to play in the third tier in the upcoming campaign after another successful season under the guidance of head coach Phil Parkinson.

With the support of the club’s Hollywood owners,

the addition of former Premier League veterans James McClean and Steven Fletcher gave the existing team an extra edge, securing them the runners-up spot.

On the other hand, Salford ended up in 20th place in the table after a challenging season that saw them narrowly avoid relegation back to non-league.

The ownership group, which includes Manchester United legends Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, and David Beckham, will be hoping for better results in 2024-25.

The Greater Manchester team will get the chance to make amends in the EFL Trophy, where they’ve been drawn in North Group B alongside Wrexham. With a final draw yet to determine the single Premier League Under-21 team that will join the group, the two sides will also face Port Vale.

Salford City and Wrexham AFC have both tasted glory in the competition, with Salford lifting the trophy in the 2019-20 season and Wrexham having their moment back in 2005. In their recent encounters, Salford secured a 3-1 victory over Wrexham this February, while the Welsh team claimed a 3-2 win earlier in the season.

The club owners have also shared mutual respect, with Wrexham’s Reynolds and Rob McElhenney expressing their admiration for Beckham. The former England skipper even made an appearance at Wrexham’s FA Trophy final in 2022, where they were defeated by Bromley at Wembley.

Post-match, Wrexham’s celebrity owners praised the soccer legend, with McElhenney stating: “Another benefit of being friends with Ryan is that he’s friends with everybody. So the idea of learning the rules of football from one of the greatest footballers in the history of the sport is a pretty good aspect.”

Reynolds also had high praise for Beckham, commenting on his down-to-earth nature: “He’s possibly just the nicest guy on planet earth – what’s not to love about him? He’s a great guy, so generous with his time.”

David Beckham has also caught the Wrexham buzz, lauding McElhenney and Reynolds for shining a spotlight on the club internationally. He reflected on the surge of soccer’s popularity in the US, crediting his own move to LA Galaxy in 2007 as part of the growth.

Beckham highlighted the impact of cultural phenomena and influential figures, stating: “That’s why I moved to America in 2007 with my family to join the MLS and to join the Galaxy – because I knew that there was potential. It was always going to be a challenge, and I’m glad that I played a small role in making the league as big as it is now, but it takes moments like what we’ve just done. It takes things like ‘Ted Lasso,’ and it takes people like Ryan and Rob to give it that bit of air.”

The Princess of Wales is known to honor her late mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law through jewels

Kate Middleton shimmered in something special from Princess Diana’s jewelry box at her latest engagement.

On Wednesday, the Princess of Wales, 41, delivered the keynote speech at the Shaping Us National Symposium at The Design Museum in London, glittering in a pair of sapphire and diamond drop earrings that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana.

This isn’t the first time she’s shimmered in the accessories. Princess Kate has worn the earrings multiple times this year, from Trooping the Colour in June to the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in March.

Prince William’s wife debuted the earrings for the first time in public at Trooping the Colour in 2022, where the fashion statement debunked a long-running rumor!

Kate Middleton Reveals Prince Louis Is Using a ‘Feelings Wheel’ at School to Help Describe Emotions

For the last ten years, Kate has worn a smaller pair of sapphire and diamond earrings that were widely believed to have been fashioned using the very same pair that Kate wore for Queen Elizabeth’s birthday parade. Because the original set had not been seen since Diana’s death, the speculation continued to bubble, although Lauren Kiehna of The Court Jeweller blog was always adamant that the earrings were two separate pairs.

“The sapphires in Diana’s earrings are cabochons, and the sapphires in Kate’s smaller earrings are faceted. The claim has now been fully debunked as Kate has now worn the double cluster earrings,” Kiehna told PEOPLE of the difference.

As the Princess of Wales cycles the larger sapphire and diamond drop earrings more frequently into her royal rotation, she follows in her mother-in-law’s fashion footsteps. Princess Diana wore the sapphire set several times during the 1990s, from a visit to Canada in 1991 to the cover of British Vogue in 1994 and at the Met Gala in New York City in 1996.

There’s also a special sapphire with a Diana connection that Kate wears every day. Prince William, 41, famously proposed to her in 2010 with the 18-carat sapphire ring that had been his mother’s engagement ring from his father, King Charles.

“Obviously, she’s not going be around to share in all the fun and excitement, so this is my way of keeping her close to it all,” William said of the sentimental gesture honoring his late mother, who died in 1997, during his engagement interview with Kate.

The ring features a blue stone surrounded by diamonds — very similar to the earrings that Kate inherited from her mother-in-law!

Kate Middleton Wears Queen Elizabeth’s Pearl Necklace and Earrings as She Joins Royals for Festival of Remembrance

Princess Kate is known to pay homage to Princess Diana through fashion and jewelry, often opting for the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara for state occasions — a sparkler that was famously a favorite of Diana’s.

“I think we have seen lots of examples where the reference is very intentional and I think that Kate uses fashion to pay tribute to Diana in a very positive way,” Bethan Holt, Fashion News and Features Director of The Daily Telegraph, previously told PEOPLE.

Another royal family member she honors through jewelry is her late grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth. Princess Kate has worn Queen Elizabeth’s jewels many times through the years, paying homage several times since the late monarch’s death in September of 2022.

The Princess of Wales wore Queen Elizabeth’s pearl and diamond drop earrings and trademark three-strand pearl necklace for a few of the funerary events and paired the Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings with a four-strand pearl choker that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth for the sovereign’s state funeral and committal service.

Princess Kate wore pieces from both the Queen and Princess Diana at King Charles’ coronation in May. She sparkled in Diana’s South Sea Pearl Earrings and Queen Elziabeth’s George VI Festoon Necklace at the historic crowning, where the necklace was concealed beneath her robes — but shined in an official coronation portrait.

Princess Kate poignantly wore more of Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry for Remembrance Day events over the weekend. On Saturday, the Princess of Wales accessorized with her late grandmother-in-law’s three-strand diamond necklace plus diamond and pearl earrings at the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, attending the event with Prince William, King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family.

On Sunday, she sported the statement pearl earrings that Queen Elizabeth once wore to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Nigeria in 2003, according to fan blog Couture and Royals. Princess Kate wore the earrings for the solemn ceremony at The Cenotaph war memorial, where King Charles and Prince William laid wreaths to remember those who died or suffered during wartime.

Pearls were a poignant choice through the weekend, the stones are famously affiliated with Queen Elizabeth’s everyday style.

“Pearls are one of the very few jewelry items you can wear in mourning and are inextricably linked with Queen Elizabeth and her personal jewelry legacy,” Bethan Holt, author of The Queen: 70 Years of Majestic Style, previously told PEOPLE. “It’s a symbol of mourning a monarch but also a grandmother or great-grandmother.”

Nicola Peltz Beckham shocked fans on Saturday after she dyed her dogs bright pink and orange – and showed off the results in a new TikTok video.

The actress, 29, looked happier than ever in her latest video as she cosied up to the usually white Bolognese dog.

After the makeover, Nicola’s dog is now an eye-catching pink colour with orange dyed ears and back legs.

It comes after Nicola and her husband Brooklyn Beckham launched legal action in June against a dog groomer after the sudden death of her beloved chihuahua Nala.

In the video, the beauty was seen dancing in her kitchen with husband Brooklyn before picking up the pet pooch and hugging it.

Meanwhile David and Victoria Beckham‘s eldest son took to Instagram to share a snap of the couple’s second dog of the same breed, called Lamb, who was also dyed pink with purple ears.

As the pet pooch relaxed in an empty suitcase, Brooklyn simply penned: ‘My baby girl x’

Fans were left in shock by the video of the dogs dyed bright pink and took to the comments.

‘The dog looked so sad; the way I thought the dog was a toy and’; ‘Omg the dog’; ‘That dog omg; you did not do that to that poor dog; poor dog!’

It comes after Brooklyn and Nicola retained a lawyer and were planning to ‘go after the grooming company’ located in upstate New York, sources told TMZ.

The groomers attended to Nicola’s dog at the home where she was staying, shortly before Nala experienced a fatal medical emergency, per the insiders.

In an Instagram post on June 15, the star revealed that a vet had recently assessed Nala and declared her ‘perfectly healthy’ before she was taken to the unnamed grooming company.

However, when Nicola picked up Nala and noticed the dog was ‘hyperventilating and couldn’t catch her breath’, she immediately rushed her to an emergency vet, but the dog tragically passed away a few hours later.

According to TMZ’s sources, veterinary records indicated that the dog had fluid in her lungs, neurological problems, and a rapid heart rate before her death, though the exact cause of these issues remains unknown.

Nicola and Brooklyn had previously used the grooming service without any issues, according to the outlet.

TMZ’s sources claimed the actress’ legal action is not motivated by money but rather by a desire to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring again.

Nicola, an advocate for animal rights, is seeking answers about Nala’s time with the groomer. However, there were no cameras in the grooming van, per the sources, raising questions about what happened inside.

‘I’m sharing this in hopes that it might prevent this from happening to other dogs,’ Nicola added in her June 15 Instagram post. ‘Her life was taken away from her way too soon.

‘Please be careful who you send your dogs to because you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. 1 day without nala on earth feels like an eternity. i wish i could have her back in my arms.’

In an Instagram Story, Nicola stated that the grooming company had ceased cooperating with her team, per USWeekly.

‘My heart has been shattered,’ she wrote. ‘I am relentlessly investigating the situation to find out exactly what happened in that groomer’s van. I am doing everything I can to uncover the truth.’

‘If her death was not due to foul play, then why isn’t the groomer cooperating with our investigation — they currently are not,’ she added.

Brooklyn had taken to his social media on June 15 to announced the loss and pay tribute to their beloved pet.

‘Dear Nala, we miss you so much, you were unexpectedly taken from way us too soon and hope others don’t experience a loss after something as simple as a grooming,’ he wrote alongside a snap of himself holding Nala.

‘You were the cutest little baby girl and we will always think of you. We know you are looking and barking down on us. We love you so much and miss you beyond.’
