He may 39 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: be sad, but once realizing that if I do talk 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: about it and I'm celebrating their life, then actually things 41 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: become easier. Yeah, as opposed to this sort of way. No, 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: I'm just not going to talk about it and that's 43 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: the best form of coping. But in fact it's not. 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: It can be for a period of time. But that's 45 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: what I was saying to them, is like, if you 46 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 2: suppress this for too long, you can't suppress it forever.

They found her. You've made 65 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: it this far. 66 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: They found her vagina in North Carolina and her alshole 67 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: in bofiam pets. 68 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: Look if she wasn't already. The Crown series on Netflix 69 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: really propelled the late Princess Margaret to icon status, and 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: a few years back details of her kind of bonker's 71 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: daily routine were revealed and it cemented that even further. Okay, 72 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: so get this. It would all begin around nine am 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: for Margaret when she woke up and she'd have breakfast 74 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: in bed, then have two hours of just sort of 75 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: lying there listening to the radio, reading newspapers and chainsmoking. 76 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: Then it was a bath at eleven am, taking her 77 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: up to midday, when the process of having her hair 78 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: and makeup done would begin. At twelve thirty, she'd finally 79 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: head downstairs quote vodka picked me up and then joined 80 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: her mum, the Queen Mother for a four course lunch 81 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: which included half a bottle of wine per person and 82 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: six different types of cheese. Look, if you had to 83 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: be a Royal, if your had to I reckon that 84 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: would probably be the best way to do it. Anyway, 85 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: that's it for this Royal Edition from the newsroom. Thanks 86 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: for listening.
