QuoteThis is the moment the ­princess and the PI, two icons of the 1980s, shared an intimate ­waltz.

The night Diana took to the floor with ­Hollywood heart-throb Tom Selleck, who played Magnum PI in the hit TV series, was the same evening Di, then 24, captivated America by dancing with President Ronald Reagan and doing the twist with film star John Travolta.

Those famous photographs became ­public but this shot – and one of her with Clint Eastwood at the dinner in Washington – ­was never ­published.

Love these! Thank you, Cindy.  :hug:

You're welcome. :flower:  I wonder why they'd never been released before?

I was thinking the same thing. Although, I like that they haven't. It gives us a little feeling of discovery. :) :flower: I loved Tom Selleck in Magnum despite the ridiculous shorts  :happy15: She seemed bored with him and more in conversation with Clint.

Clint also had a tighter grip.    :happy15:

Looks like she was trying to get away from him.  Maybe he told her to "make his day"! :lol:

I was living in the D.C. area at the time, and I remember seeing this on the news, but I can't make out the faces of the people on the side.  Probably members of Reagan's staff.  I wouldn't remember their names, anyway.

It couldn't have been a demonstration... I don't think. But it was repeated over and over again.

Oh, sorry, I misread ... chanting?  They're chanting "[something] go home":

QuoteA small group of anti-British IRA supporters protested outside and there were a few slip-ups during the glamorous event.

BBC ON THIS DAY | 9 | 1985: America welcomes Charles and Diana

People protest in the District all the time.  Unless it's a huge demonstration, no one takes much notice unless it holds up traffic.

They are just lovely!  :hug: There is no one that can grab one's attention like that anymore. My friends and I were looking through some magazines yesterday and felt nostalgic for those days.

Was it hard for Princess Diana to share the spotlight with her sister-in-law, Sarah, Duchess of York?
