[SamhainTheDark]

@WandaMellon I was told she's actually Princess Margaret.

POST MORE!!!!!! Her royal Highness is the best!!!

Well she said, "Perhaps you'll be cute again when you're very, very old -- like mother." Thus, a reference to the Queen Mum, Elizabeth's mother.

Which HRH is she impersonating?

[musicaltheatergeek79]

QE2. Who else?

[coralarch]

I didn't know that the Quuen was referred to as "Highness"- I thought the correct title was "Her Majesty"?

[SamhainTheDark]

@coralarch That's not the Queen, it's her late sister.

[coralarch]

@SamhainTheDark Thanks- it's hard for me to tell.

[SamhainTheDark]

@coralarch Apparently, it's hard for musicaltheatergeek79 to notice too.

[coralarch]

@SamhainTheDark Well, the comediennne doesn't look or sound like Margaret, that's why I was confused.

[SamhainTheDark]

@coralarch I think that's intentional. The royal family, I imagine, doesn't really like it when you make fun of one of their own, especially if the one you're making fun of is dead. In fact, it's never actually spelled out that it's Margaret, at least not in the footage I've seen. But it is widely known that Margaret was much stiffer than the Queen. And HRH is very stiff.

[coralarch]

@SamhainTheDark You surprise me! I always thought Margaret was the party animal and an extrovert!!

[SamhainTheDark]

@coralarch Not when it came to protocol.

Tracey Ulman based this character on QE2's late sister Princess Margaret Rose, the Countess Snowdown.

Thanks, bird. That seems to have cleared that up. HRH Margaret was a stunner in her youth, wasn't she? Pity she wasn't allowed to marry Townsend- she might have known real happiness thereby.
