But the press tumbles, and it turns out that the young lady, who is said to have dined with the prince and his mother Queen Elizabeth II, is an American-born, onetime soft-porn ingenue who had starred in a racy 1977 British quickie called Emily.

After wandering the corridors, he entered Queen Elizabeth's bedroom and woke the sleeping monarch. Police did not charge Fagan with a crime for that intrusion, since he had not threatened any harm to the Queen or stolen any possessions.
