Princess Diana remains one of the most iconic figures in popular history, known for bringing a relatable, down-to-earth presence to the otherwise formal royal family. Her genuine personality shone through when she met the star of a 1975 cult classic at a royal event, telling them that their film “completed my education.”
Actor Tim Curry recalled the moment he first met Princess Diana in an interview with BBC Radio 4. “I was doing Love For Love… and [Prince] Charles and Diana made an appearance," he began.
"So we were all kind of lined up, and Diana was wearing a blue sequined dress, and she said, ‘Is there anybody here from wardrobe? My dress is deconstructing, I’ve got a trail of sequins all the way from the royal box,'" Curry recalled.
"Then they were introduced to people individually, and Charles said, in that sort of mumble that he has, he said, ‘I think I’ve seen you on television’, and I said, ‘Well, I hope I didn’t bore you, sir.'"
The actor concluded, "Diana said, ‘You were in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, weren’t you?’, and I said, ‘Yes, ma’am, but I don’t imagine that you saw it’, and she said, ‘No, of course, I did, it very much completed my education’.”
The interaction between Curry and Diana solidified the public and private persona of the Princess of Wales, showing that she was refreshingly playful, unafraid to step outside the stiffness of royal life, and always carried a cheeky, irreverent charm.
'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' celebrates its 50th anniversary
In September 2025, The Rocky Horror Picture Show celebrated its 50th anniversary. The film, starring Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon, Richard O'Brien, Meatloaf, Peter Hinwood, Patricia Quinn, and Nell Campbell, has become a touchstone, continuing to inspire generations of moviegoers, including Princess Diana, and millions of others who can't get enough of its campy charm.
Initially, The Rocky Horror Picture Show failed to draw audiences when it premiered in 1975. However, almost one year later, the film found a devoted following as a late-night cult phenomenon.
Fans flocked to midnight screenings nationwide, donning elaborate costumes, shouting back at the film, and even performing it live, turning each showing into a fun-filled spectacle.
According to Mental Floss, director Jim Sharman wanted pop star Marianne Faithfull to play Little Nell, but the role was already given to Nell Campbell. Faithfull was considered for Magenta, but her touring schedule didn't allow her to participate, and Patricia Quinn was cast. Quinn later sang the movie's opening song, "Science Fiction/Double Feature."
The Rocky Horror Picture Show continues to play at midnight screenings across the country.
