Diana's highly-publicized wedding to Prince Charles was spoofed in the Spring 1983 issue of Muppet Magazine as "A Royal Romance: The Frog Prince and Lady Pi."

Another parody photo was taken for inside the issue, spoofing the couple's 1981 engagement announcement, again with Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog assuming the rules of Diana and Charles.

Footage of Charles and Diana with one of their sons was shown on TV, on the Muppet Babies episode "Plan 8 from Outer Space."

In episode 2485 of Sesame Street, The Amazing Mumford performs a magic trick to find Big Bird's necktie for Maria and Luis' wedding. His trick instead puts David in a tuxedo and Gina in a dress. He recalls previously performing the trick for a lovely couple named "Charles and Di."

In The Muppets episode "Little Green Lie", Robin the Frog says he heard a lie about Princess Diana's ghost marrying an alien on the cover of a tabloid magazine.
