Princess Diana‘s legacy as a beloved figure who connected deeply with marginalized communities has taken on new life with the revelation of one of her most daring escapades.
According to Edward White‘s forthcoming biography, Dianaworld: An Obsession, the Princess of Wales once disguised herself in male drag to sneak into one of London’s most famous gay bars with Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.
Lethal stare! King Charles glares at ‘Princess Diana’ shout
In an excerpt obtained by People, White describes Diana‘s covert adventure as a significant example of how “furtive nocturnal activity plays an important role as moments when she secretly revealed hidden aspects of her true self.”
A hilarious and heartwarming glimpse into Diana’s rebellious spirit
The event took place in the late 1980s and involved several of Diana‘s celebrity friends, including comedy actress Cleo Rocos and late radio DJ Kenny Everett – the first to play “Bohemian Rhapsody” on air.
According to Rocos, Diana was insistent on joining the group for a night out at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, despite Everett‘s warning that it was “not for you … full of hairy gay men.”
Determined, Diana donned a “camouflage army jacket, hair tucked up into a leather cap and dark aviator sunglasses,” according to White.
Rocos recalled that after inspecting her in the dim light, they decided “the most famous icon of the modern world might just …JUST, pass for a rather eccentrically dressed gay male model.”
The plan, incredibly, seemed to work.
“It was fabulously outrageous and so bizarrely exciting …no one, absolutely no one, recognized Diana,” Rocos said.
The group stayed for one drink before Diana quietly returned to Kensington Palace, later sending back Everett‘s clothes with a note expressing how much she had enjoyed herself.
White points out that Diana‘s night in drag has become symbolic of her relationship with the LGBTQ+ community and her broader search for acceptance outside the confines of royal life.

The Josh Allen stat that makes clear the Bills QB is at fault for poor performances
For the past few years, each offseason was filled with tremendous hope for Buffalo Bills fans. They had a franchise quarterback in Josh Allen, and the AFC was somewhat open despite the Kansas City Chiefs frequently beating them in the playoffs. Ahead of the 2025 season, it felt like this was the year for the Bills to really make their move.Instead, the Bills have been frustratingly inconsistent this season. A tough loss to the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football brought the Bills' record to 7-4, which is still good for an AFC Wild Card spot currently, but several other teams are only one or two games behind them. The loss to the Texans exposed the Bills offense in a concerning way, though.Josh Allen's latest move lets us anticipate changes in the Buffalo Bills to secure a playoff spotAllen took […]
Florida State loses to NC State after muffing 2 punts in a row, both off a player’s helmet
At 5-6, Florida State has incurred plenty of losses this season, but none were more, er, creative than how they went down against N.C. State on Friday.Down 14-11 in the fourth quarter, the Seminoles forced a fourth down with 3:53 remaining in the game, plenty of time to get the ball back and drive to tie or win the game. On fourth-and-17, N.C. State punter Caden Noonkester delivered a punt short enough that it was well out of reach of the return man.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe punt instead landed on the helmet of a member of return team member K.J. Kirkland, then bounced back into N.C. State territory ... and the arms of Noonkester.Few things are more 2025 Florida State than a punter recovering his own punt for a first down.As demoralizing as that must have been, the Florida State defense went back […]
