Urban Myths: Princess Diana, Freddie And Kenny - One Normal Night

Urban Myths review

This story about Freddie Mercury, Kenny Everett and Princess Diana on a night at a gay cabaret club was a bleak reminder of the Aids crisis.

There were always rumours surrounding Diana, Princess of Wales, and her taste for a walk on the wild side. This amusing series, which dramatises apocryphal celebrity stories, returns for a third run, exploring a famous 80s legend. Did Diana enjoy a night out at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, the gay cabaret bar? It is suggested that after a day on the bubbly with Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett, Di dressed as a man, donned a pair of shades and hit the town. Sophie Rundle plays the princess, David Avery and Mathew Baynton are her celeb chaperones.
