Diary Entry - 11/09/1985
Key Facts
The President and the First Lady greet Prince Charles and Princess Diana of Wales.
President Reagan makes a Radio Address to the Nation on the U.S. - Soviet Summit in Geneva.
The big day. Prince Charles & Diana arrived at 11 A.M. for coffee. They are very nice and it was an enjoyable 40 min. or so. Then they had to move on & I had to hightail it to U.S.I.A. where my 5 min. Sat. Radio broadcast became, for just this once, a 10 min. Radio & T.V. show to the Soviet U. & a number of other countries in 9 languages—an estimated audience of 120 mil. people. I wonder if Mr. G. listened. The dinner for the Prince & Diana was a great success. It had not a hint of “State Dinner” flavor. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. Ted G. had decorated the W.H. more beautifully than we’ve ever seen it. Leontyne Price sang wonderfully & then everyone danced like at a Junior Prom.
