It’s hard to believe that 32 years ago this month, Clint
attended a gala dinner at the White House and danced with a beautiful 24-year-old
Diana. The dinner attended by Diana and Charles was part of a trip to the U.S.
- and is also remembered for President Ronald Reagan forgetting the Princess of
Wales's name in an after-dinner speech (Princess David). Nevertheless, the
princess looked radiant, if a little nervous on her first trip to the United
States. Fortunately, White House photographer Pete Souza captured and immortalised
the event with a couple of photos that were finally seen in 2013.
The event was also immortalised by cartoonist Charles
Griffin (left) in the British press, when his caricature featuring John Travolta,
Princess Diana and Clint appeared in The Daily Mirror on Tuesday, November 12th
and still remains a memorable piece.
