Princess Diana secretly attended gay bar party disguised as drag queen with longtime friend Freddie Mercury, reveals memoir
While Queen's rock music is widely regarded by millions of fans across the globe as a passport to a world with zero judgment and catchy chants, Princess Diana considered their music as a literal escape into a different world, one that included drag queens, reruns of 'Golden Girls', and gay bars, Yahoo reports.
Back in the mid-'80s, when "People's Princess" Diana's every move was heavily monitored by the media, she became close friends with Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. He and the princess were sipping champagne and watching reruns of 'Golden Girls' at the home of comedian Kenny Everett one evening, according to a memoir by actress Cleo Racos titled 'The Power of Positive Drinking'. During that evening, the trio created their own subplots for the sitcom with a "much naughtier storyline".
