The Reagans with Prince Charles and Lady Diana

The Reagans with Prince Charles and Lady Diana

Created November 9, 1985.

The Reagans join Prince Charles and Lady Diana for tea in the West Sitting Hall during a state visit in 1985. Since it is a private sitting room for the first family, Mrs. Reagan decorated the West Sitting Hall with objects from her California home. This room used to be a stair landing until 1902, when the stairs were removed. During the Truman renovation (1948-1952) walls were added to make the space a separate room.
