skeith Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I was recently watching the news here in the US and as they are going through another round of Lady Diana stories (I guess it is the anniversary of her death) they reported that her one true love was a doctor of Pakistani origin living in England and that their favorite hangout was Ronnie Scott's jazz club.

brownie Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Seems Diana and her lover visited Ronnie Scott's once. A 2008 news item on this: http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/jan/14/monarchy2 The visit is included in the upcoming film on Diana. Don't intend to see it! Have had enough of Diana's various activities when I was working in the news media! Quote

Have had enough of Diana's various activities when I was working in the news media! thanks for attaching the Guardian article.... I read it somewhat differently to say that the "one occasion" referred to the particular disguise she wore on a single occasion.... the report I saw in the US indicated there was more than one visit but perhaps they or I got it wrong.

sidewinder Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 No doubt Kenny G was on when she visited.. Quote
skeith Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 No doubt Kenny G was on when she visited.. Horrors!!! Don't tell me that Ronnie Scott's would have presented the G Man! Quote

The old Scott/King regime - no chance whatsoever. Not sure that the same can be said of the present regime though. Quote
BillF Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 When I saw this thread's heading, I thought, "Now that's just what went wrong with Ronnie's". Quote
sidewinder Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 Princess Margaret was a regular back in the day - although she was a genuine fan of the likes of Ella and Sarah Vaughan, by all accounts. Quote
