So I was researching where the Freddie & Princess Di stories came from & it seems like it started in 2013 when an actress named Cleo Rocos wrote about it in her memoir.

The story goes that Di would hang out with Freddie (& Elton John which the articles claim was already an established friendship, though I don’t know personally) and that one night, there were hanging out in Kenny Everett’s house, watching The Golden Girls on mute and making up saucy dialogue. She asked to go to a gay bar with them. They apparently dressed her in drag & she managed to get in and wasn’t noticed.

Which... it sounds fake as hell. Like, Princess Di was incredibly popular and clearly the paparazzi swarmed her, so even if she were in gaudy drag, I can’t see them not catching her. They probably would’ve seen her go into Everett’s house and they’d put 2 and 2 together when they saw her leave. 

And it’s just all very conveniently interesting. Like, it’s 3 famous people making fun of a popular sitcom and sneaking a royal into a gay bar. It’s just a bit too much to seem real. It seems like the kind of thing someone would make up in a memoir to get attention.

I sort of feel bad calling this actress out because I don’t know her at all, but it just doesn’t seem plausible. Did anyone ever corroborate this with Phoebe or anyone else?
