There are plenty of reasons that Princess Diana's name could be trending on Twitter right now. People could be talking about the Kristen Stewart-led film, Spencer, which was recently nominated for an Oscar; there could be more drama with the still-living royal family - perhaps Prince William invoked her in a speech? Or new information about Prince Andrew has come to light? Heck, ore than once she's even trended just because of a John Mulaney joke from his Comeback Kid special, maybe he has a new one on his current tour.

Nope. None of that is what's happening. Princess Diana is trending today because BTS fans believe that their beloved Jungkook - one of the members of BTS, for the uninitiated - is her reincarnation.

Their evidence? Well...

Number one, they point out that he was born the exact day after Princess Diana died - September 1, 1997.

Number two, they apparently have quite similar style sensibilities.

And number three, their faces look kind of similar?

All of this is happening today for seemingly no reason - but some fans are saying that it's just because they're so phenomenally bored without a new BTS album that the fans will jump onto anything that gives them this sense of community. So...here we are.
