Freddie Mercury

The flamboyant rocker reportedly shared a fun-loving spirit with the late princess, and they had their share of high jinks. In actress Cleo Rocos's memoir, reported by Hello!, she revealed the story of one evening in which Diana and Freddie decided to sneak out to a bar incognito.

"Diana was in full mischief mode. Freddie said, 'Go on, let the girl have some fun' . . . Scrutinizing her in the half light, we decided that the most famous icon of the modern world might just – just – pass for a rather eccentrically dressed gay male model . . . We inched through the leather throngs and thongs, until finally we reached the bar. We were nudging each other like naughty schoolchildren. Diana and Freddie were giggling, but she did order a white wine and a beer. Once the transaction was completed, we looked at one another, united in our triumphant quest. We did it!"

Rocos's memoir also revealed another favourite pastime of the duo: watching The Golden Girls with the dialogue turned off so that they could make up their own dialogue.
