**Pocket-Sized TV and Kylie Minogue Album Unearthed from Princess Diana’s Time Capsule**
A time capsule buried by Princess Diana over 30 years ago has been unearthed at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London, revealing a collection of items that reflect life in the 1990s. Among the treasures were a pocket-sized color television and a Kylie Minogue album, specifically her third studio release, “Rhythm of Love,” which features popular tracks like “Better the Devil You Know” and “Step Back In Time.”
The capsule, which also contained a solar-powered calculator, tree seeds in a bottle, and a complete set of British coins up to £1 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of decimalisation, was buried in March 1991. The items were selected by children as part of a BBC Blue Peter competition, aimed at capturing the essence of the decade.
The decision to excavate the capsule was made to facilitate the construction of a new children’s cancer center at GOSH. Hospital staff, some of whom were either born in 1991 or were working there at the time, participated in the capsule’s removal. Princess Diana, who served as the president of GOSH from 1989 until her tragic death in 1997, frequently visited the hospital, underscoring her commitment to children’s health.
Notably, just months after the capsule was buried, her son, Prince William, spent two nights at the hospital following a serious injury. The unearthing of this time capsule not only serves as a nostalgic reminder of the past but also marks a significant step in the hospital’s ongoing efforts to enhance care for young patients.
