Genuflect Divas!
Despite social distancing we are very much in the presence of royalty and, in tribute to those still refusing to play by the rules of COVID-19, this week we’re covering the most irresponsible of them all: the truly fabulous - and often frankly abominable - Princess Margaret.
Like many out there, we have had to change our plans, so apologies to anyone who was looking forward to this week being all about the Williams Sisters (soon, Divas, soon), but one way or another we’ve got you a pod so fabulous we have to bring it twice.
Joining Holly & Tom for the next two episodes, via Skype (apologies for any sound issues), is indescribably brilliant friend of the pod and Holly’s cabaret-wife, Cat Loud (no apologies necessary).
Join the (house) party as we present this two-part tribute to the savagely witty Princess Pegs, as we hear stories of royal protocol abuse, Liz’s swinging left-hook and the deep tragedy of one of the world’s most speculated-upon love stories pre-KimYe.
Along the way, we hear of Billie Holiday’s unsurpassed bad-assery, being a Diva in a regional village hall and some pretty choice opinions on the Royal Family.
Much of this week’s content comes from the great Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret by Craig Brown. Buy it here.
