Freddie Mercury once dressed Princess Diana as a man and smuggled her into a gay bar, it has been claimed.
The late Queen rocker and comedian Kenny Everett reportedly gave the British royal – who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 – an army jacket, cap and sunglasses to wear for a night out in South London homosexual haunt the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in the 1980s, according to comedienne Cleo Rocos.
A piece in Cleo’s new memoir ‘The Power of Positive Drinking’ – which is serialized in the Sunday Times newspaper – explains: ”Freddie told her we were going to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, a notorious gay bar in London. Diana said she had never heard of it and said she’d like to come.
”Now this was not a good idea. ‘It’s not for you,’ said Kenny, ‘It’s full of hairy gay men. Sometimes there are fights outside.’ This didn’t put her off in the slightest.”
