1995 “When Diana said that she doubted if she would ever be queen, but

that ‘I’d like to be queen of people’s hearts,’ she knew what she was
doing: she already is,” Newsweek reported on BBC’s groundbreaking interview
with Martin Bashir and Princess Diana. It revealed the true state of her marriage
with Prince Charles less than two years before her tragic death. Newsweek cover
stories have chronicled the royal family since as early as 1936. See 10 of these
many covers showing Diana and the history of the royal family in this week’s

“With global oil shortages threatening
to plunge the U.S. and other industrial
nations into a recession,” the energy

cover—for the fourth time that year. Oil
prices recently rose to their highest level
since 2014, at over $80 a barrel.

Not Guilty

On November 19, the fourth day of deliberations,
a jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, of all

charges in his trial for shooting three men, two of
whom died, during demonstrations in Kenosha in

August 2020. The protests were in response to
the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake,

which was captured on cellphone video and
came just three months after the killing of George

Floyd. Prosecutors argued Rittenhouse, armed
with a semiautomatic rifle, acted needlessly

and recklessly; he claimed it was self defense.
