![]() ![]() It was around this time that stories about Princess Margaret’s marriage were appearing in the British press although they were, at this point at least, restrained. I had never been there before, so I was thrilled when Princess Margaret asked me to accompany her, in October 1975, for a ten-day trip full of different engagements around the country. ![]() The first tour I went on was to Australia. During the three decades I was the Princess’s Lady in Waiting, I accompanied her on several royal tours abroad, from Canada, where we dressed up in Victorian clothes and went to a rodeo, to Cairo, where we watched the Royal Ballet with Madame Mubarak, the wife of the Egyptian President, who, at seeing the ballet dancers falling over, clapped enthusiastically, not realizing they were actually collapsing because the floor was too slippery, causing disaster.Īll the tours were memorable, some especially so. In the heyday of Mustique, Princess Margaret and I would go from dressing up in extravagant costumes to going all over the world on royal engagements.
