Diana asked them if she could join them. Rocos, Everett, and Mercury initially hesitated because they were concerned about what could happen if the press found out the then-future queen of England was partying at a gay bar. Mercury gave in and reportedly said, “Go on, let the girl have some fun,” and dressed her up in an army jacket, aviator sunglasses, and a leather cap (the clothes Everett had planned to wear out that night). They were able to sneak her into the club, and nobody noticed it was her.
