Maureen Murray (#18) of Alexandria, Virginia won the local Princess Diana look-alike contest which took place at the “Champion Sports Bar” in Washington D.C. on November 5, 1985. The contest was held because the Prince and Princess of Wales will be in Washington a week later.
When Prince Charles and Princess Diana touched down at the Andrews Air Force base on November 9, 1985, they were greeted by mass hysteria from Americans, and the political elite of Washington. Thousands descended upon the city to see the royal visitors and, in particular, the almost mythical Princess Diana. Indeed, Washingtonians watched her every move – and what she wore – with great interest as she made the usual circuit of glamorous parties and embassy dinners.
