It got much more tough when he said: “‘Yeah, yes, oh sing us a song from that musical you’re in,’ Margaret says.

“He took me to Windsor for the weekend,” she added, “and while we’re going around, I see a table outside with people sitting around it and I say to myself, ‘That looks like the Queen.'”
