“So there we are in Manila, in the middle of a state banquet, when who barges into the room? None other than Imelda Marcos. She makes a beeline straight for me, saying she’s desperate to show me her… wait for it…” Princess Margaret said.
Her cousin Princess Ann finished her sentence by saying “shoe collection”. However, Princess Margaret corrected her, “Shell collection.” Queen Elizabeth ll answered that there was maybe something in her teeth when she said that.
