I met Tracey in Washington State, back in 1988. She was filming the movie I love you to death. She was sporting a black lace tutu and drinking an Orange Julius. She was so kind and funny kept asking about my accent because she said I didn't have one. She was a joy to met and a pleasure to talk to.
I did not think that movie was a very good vehicle for her talent. I already adored her from her TV show and kept VHS versions for years. Joan Plowright was fantastic.
@@ucanleaveyourhaton These days it’s pretty vulgar but I think it’s like that everywhere. This video proves you don’t need cursing or exposed boobs to be funny!!
Someone once asked Princess Margaret how the queen was. Margaret reportedly responded "To which queen are you referring? My mother, my sister, or my husband?".
@@toddmiller5656 ...He was bisexual, Margaret knew this and tolerated it as long as he was discreet. Though given they both had a fondness for partying among the showbiz lovelies there was ample opportunity for him to bag himself a bloke if the fancy took him.
And another, alleged, conversation between her and a guest at a Buckingham Palace 'do' went something like, " And how is your sister? " To which Margaret responded, " Oh she's fine, you know, she's still Queen ". Apparently the guest couldn't quite place Margaret but knew she had a famous sibling and by asking after the sibling would prompt her to remember who Margaret was.
I recall hearing that when Elizabeth Taylor met Princess Margaret, the actress was wearing some fabulously expensive and dazzling necklace that Burton had given her. Princess Margaret inspected it and sniffed, 'It's rather vulgar, don't you think?' La Liz handed it to her and said 'Please try it on. I insist.' HRH did just that, and as she was admiring herself in a mirror, Liz snarked 'Not so vulgar now, is it!' 😂😂😂
It is a Wonder that Princess Margaret was SOBER enough to even make notice of such things... Every time I saw her, she always had just a bit too much to drink... The last time I saw her, when she invited some of us from the US Embassy to her Thanksgiving Party she wanted to hold... Needless to say, there was not much food about, mostly snacks and the like, with plenty of BOOZE flowing... :) :) Memories...
Oh Tracy Ullman your a wonderful Tonic for these lock down Blues ,I lovd your Great take offs brilliant Big thank you Yvonne mullion Cornwall England x xx
The first time I went to England, in 2001, I booked a tour of the city. On passing Kensington Palace, the tour guide announced, ‘ That’s where Princess Margaret lives, with her friend Johnny Walker’.
The Queen's late paternal grandmother, Queen Mary, was especially the dread of many a hostess. Husbands would often warn their wives to hide the good stuff just in case the Queen Consort took a shining to something that she coveted. Oftentimes, a palace footman would show up hours later after a royal visit to collect a valuable trinket or two to add to Queen Mary's collection!
You don’t have to go back as far as the Renaissance : just check the accounts of any country place that entertained the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VII) for a house party, where he generally invited himself and wrote the guest list as well. It was ruinous !
👏😎 "I pretended they were Earrings & gave them to Fergie for Christmas. Now, whenever I visit, she feels obliged to wear them."....followed by a snarky "HA-HA-HA" of a laugh. Although the story was quite funny, one suspects that Princess Margaret must've been nearly INTOLERABLE in person❗ 🤣
As an American. I followed Hugh Laurie way before he came to the States. I saw a few Fry & Laurie shows, Blackadder & Jeeves and Wooster before House. I also know he can play a mean piano. He loves to play a genre of American music called Blues.I'm a fan of Hugh Laurie. I even fell in love with a 6 part tv show called Fourtysomething. Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Capudi are co starring. The series has been uploaded on UA-cam. I followed britcoms and TV dramas for over 30 years.
I'm with Dale. Don't forget that many of us in the US are absolute angliophiles who can't get enough of England, the U.K. And Britain. You have no idea how many millions would move in a heartbeat if they would let us in..instead they bring in millions from other countries and require us the have a job before we move there. Don't forget the average Anglo in the US is actually more genetically English than the average modern Englishman.
One cannot resist one self to laugh at this dubiously clever and wickedly hilarious skit Rrrrrather rrrrreally well amusing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍👌🏼😆 I’ll be pushing off now 😉✌🏼😂
Robin ! Not always. On a good day she was good company. The problem was that too many people were overly sycophantic and whilst she liked respect she didn't like creeps
In 2014 I met a woman in her 90's who, as a young teenager in England during the war, was the youngest member of a MENSA type group and won an award; she was part of a group of young people who met the Royal Family. She and Margaret hit it off. A few wks later Margaret spotted her out walking. She got her driver to stop the car, and asked, "Do you know how to drive a car?" She claims she, aged 14, and Margaret, also 14, were subsequently allowed to drive around London "incognito" (with security people following, of course) collecting wounded and taking them to hospital. She told me Margaret was "great fun with a sharp wit". Wonder when/why she turned into a viciously nasty old bat?
wounded? do you mean during the war? Princess Margaret was a child throughout WWII. as for your description of her.. met her did you? non one is one dimensional you know..
Hugh is ALWAYS Bertie Wooster. Well, I guess he did some American TV show awhile back. I never saw it. One doesn't want to see Bertie Wooster speaking in an American accent.
"I pretended they were earrings and gave then to Fergie for Christmas. Now, whenever I visit her she feels obliged to wear them. Hahahahahahahaha". (on the gift that was a pair of marmosets' testicles, pickled in brine ...)
@@scottcirlin6063 You are correct. I recorded the show on VHS when it originally aired on HBO. Unfortunately I no longer have the tapes. But she did indeed say "Diana". I watched those tapes probably a hundred times.
Just finished watching the Graham Norton Show, Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter were two of the guests talking about their roles as Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret in season 3 of The Crown, begining next week. Another guest was Anne, Lady Glenconner who was Lady In Waiting to Princess Margaret for over 30 years and who was promoting her newly published book.. She doesn't say too much about the late princess, though she recounts how Margaret came to own a house on the island of Mustique which the Glenconners owned. What Lady Glenconner does state is how 'annoyed' she is by the relaying of 'juicy gossip' of Margaret by people who'd never met her. I did meet HRH once when I was in respite care at the London Lighthouse. She didn't publicise that she would be visiting, unlike Diana. But she'd quietly slip in, chat with patients, laugh and joke with them and comfort them in her own way. She wasn't the 'touchy, feely ' type as Diana was. Lady Glenconner's 2nd son died as a result of AIDS and when all their friends were making excuses to not visit them on Mustique Princess Margaret was there taking great care of the Glenconners and not shying away from the son just because he'd got a 'deadly virus'. Whatever the princess's foibles and quirks she was first and foremost a human being who likely didn't deserve much of the crap that was printed about her.
Thank you so much for posting this incredibly it's the second time in about a week I've heard about Princess Margaret being the 4runner in all of this but Diana getting all the glory I've lost a family member from AIDS so thank you thank you thank you for setting the record straight not to take anything away from Diana
Met her. That wasn't SO far from the truth. Nobody could leave before she had done with the ciggies and the Famous Grouse. She must surely be the only royal in history to be cremated.
Andrew Williams - I have it on good authority that she spent most of one of the obligatory picnics at Balmoral ensconsed behind a rock swigging from a hip flask (solid silver, of course).
Cremated because she insisted on being buried in her parents' vault in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle and there simply wasn't room for her any other way. In fact, her headstone within that chapel simply leans against the wall. It's actually rather moving to see that, beyond all the HRH, she simply wanted to be with her parents.
She wasn't the first to be cremated. Princess Louise (Queen Victoria's dautgher in law) was cremated at Golders Green in 1917, so was Princess Louise Duchess of Argyll (Queen Victoria's daughter) was also cremated there in 1939.
That explains the whole cause for the existence of Peter Sellars and Sammy Davis Jr. They were on this earth only to amuse Princess Margaret. "They were frightfully funny."
Tracy is a comedic genius. And to see Hugh Laurie paired with her here is fantastic:) Makes one forget, even if just for a few moments what a terrible state the world is in.. (mainly here in the US) brought on by that Chetto encrusted orange sewer clown that resides at 1600 Pennsylvania ave. Wa. With love from Cali!!!

I have followed Ms Ullman from the beginning she is a immense talent I remember viewing her shows 40 years ago and she was such a talent then as she is now. And I love how she makes fun of the most unproductive royalty I mean I would be pissed if my taxes went to pay for that oh wait don't they pay for a piss poor equivalent of such I think they do..... Fuck!!!!
When I was in the dreadful RAF in the 60s, somebody told me on one of the Functions Margaret wasat, she walked into a room, ( entirely of RAF men) stark naked, and of course . Pissed .
As a German I cannot judge to what extent the people in Great Britain see a close reality in this parody, or whether they don't at all. If they do, I wonder why people would be avid supporters of royalty, being treated so badly in an enlightened modern age as today's. Parody is actually only funny when there are hidden truths in it ... 🤔
Even if the Queen were actually very sweet, the absurd pomp and obsequiousness depicted here are necessarily very real. Why are the British people mostly supporters of the aristocracy then? Because they’re also mostly brainwashed, pig-headed, and very stupid.
It’s funny how well they skewer her (and the whole royal visit problem) - so THAT part’s hilarious and Hugh and Tracy of course. But yeah, you just want to throw “HRH” in the trash where “one” belongs, behaving like that. Yuck. 😜🤢🤮 It’s always been a bizarre irony that the “highest” class can be so classless / totally unclassy.
Hugh Laurie and Tracy Ullman at their best with a very witty script. After seeing documentaries about Princess Margaret, I can't imagine what was so compelling about her company. Poor cow....abusing herself and others. Thank goodness she was the youngest sister!
She said on a talk show once that with all her royal family characters, she doubts she would ever be offered the title. I think she said that sidestepping if she would accept if offered. A fair tradeoff!
The reality was worse. Nobody invited her, she would send her equerry to "inquire" about a royal visit, and (assuming you didn't say fuggedabadit) he would give you a list of rules: tune the piano, import young men who can sing/dance, get a recording of Scotland the Brave by the Highland Pipers, provide plenty of gin, keep the kids out of sight, get rid of the cats, have lots of raspberry jam sandwiches for tea (and since HRH doesn't like seeds between her teeth, purchase imported jam) and have barley water in the washroom for her to wash her face with.
As a matter of fact, not, I know, something that has much appeal on UA-cam, she was often invited. You might ask Sir Seton Wills, Sir Edward Tompkins and many other people.
Super hilarious and pitiful the same time! I did send this video to all my demented friends who are admiring royal thing ( whatever it is ) and wishing their authority over them. How possibly, you can wish feudalism, remains the mystery! 🤣
In the original airing, she said she gave the testicles to Diana for Christmas. Not sure why Tracey felt the need to dub over that after Diana's death.
In 1963 the Beatles performed at the Royal Variety Charity Show (QEII couldn't make it; in her place The Queen Mum and Princess Margaret) and coming out to perform, John Lennon announced:
"The people in the cheaper seats, clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'd just rattle your jewelry."
John always was an idiot, look at what he married she saw pound signs and a fool that would be easily ripped off when she met him.
It's a very famous moment, you can find it on UA-cam.

Her delivery of “It’s pheasant, maaarm” just cracks me up.

I just realized that she played both the wife and the royal.
To be fair, it’s a grainy film.
Same here! She's a marvelous talent!
They joke but in the Rennaissance noble families actually could go broke from a visit from a royal. It was both an honour and absolutely dreaded.

In 2014 I met a woman in her 90's who, as a young teenager in England during the war, was the youngest member of a MENSA type group and won an award; she was part of a group of young people who met the Royal Family. She and Margaret hit it off. A few wks later Margaret spotted her out walking. She got her driver to stop the car, and asked, "Do you know how to drive a car?"

She told me Margaret was "great fun with a sharp wit".
Wonder when/why she turned into a viciously nasty old bat?
Disappointed with and let down by men. The death of her father. She was often a very nice person, but didn't like sycophants or boring people.
Probably when she was told she could no longer see Peter Townsend.
Copious amounts of alcohol eventually do that to a person , as I can well attest .

When I was in the dreadful RAF in the 60s, somebody told me on one of the Functions Margaret wasat, she walked into a room, ( entirely of RAF men) stark naked, and of course . Pissed .
Brilliant royal accent!
As a German I cannot judge to what extent the people in Great Britain see a close reality in this parody, or whether they don't at all. If they do, I wonder why people would be avid supporters of royalty, being treated so badly in an enlightened modern age as today's. Parody is actually only funny when there are hidden truths in it ... 🤔
Thank you for trying to explain humour.
Even if the Queen were actually very sweet, the absurd pomp and obsequiousness depicted here are necessarily very real. Why are the British people mostly supporters of the aristocracy then? Because they’re also mostly brainwashed, pig-headed, and very stupid.
Yes, you are German
Lol 😂!!! As a German, you will never understand the wonderful British humour, I suppose. Tracey Ullman is absolutely brilliant in this role!
What a pompous, boring, sef-righteous thing to say.
THIS is the skit where the Angry Kid gets that line from Bone: "Oh god, it's the bone, oooooooh nuh, look at the booooooooooone!" haha!
this is so tragic and resembles reality to the extent I can't perceive the funny side of the episode((
I felt so much pain watching this. No joke at all
It’s funny how well they skewer her (and the whole royal visit problem) - so THAT part’s hilarious and Hugh and Tracy of course. But yeah, you just want to throw “HRH” in the trash where “one” belongs, behaving like that. Yuck. 😜🤢🤮 It’s always been a bizarre irony that the “highest” class can be so classless / totally unclassy.
Hugh Laurie and Tracy Ullman at their best with a very witty script. After seeing documentaries about Princess Margaret, I can't imagine what was so compelling about her company. Poor cow....abusing herself and others. Thank goodness she was the youngest sister!
I love how everyone rushes to the loo at the end! 😅
Tracy Ullman - I miss her.
Hilarious. Omg. One hopes this was not close to reality, but suspects that it was spot on!
When will Tracy become a Dame?
She already is when she's dressed as Judy Dench throwing vases and stealing alcohol.
Tracey became an American citizen several years ago so I don’t think can be made an English dame.
She said on a talk show once that with all her royal family characters, she doubts she would ever be offered the title. I think she said that sidestepping if she would accept if offered. A fair tradeoff!
@@bitterbeauty6144 She could still become an Honorary Dame.
The reality was worse. Nobody invited her, she would send her equerry to "inquire" about a royal visit, and (assuming you didn't say fuggedabadit) he would give you a list of rules: tune the piano, import young men who can sing/dance, get a recording of Scotland the Brave by the Highland Pipers, provide plenty of gin, keep the kids out of sight, get rid of the cats, have lots of raspberry jam sandwiches for tea (and since HRH doesn't like seeds between her teeth, purchase imported jam) and have barley water in the washroom for her to wash her face with.
As a matter of fact, not, I know, something that has much appeal on UA-cam, she was often invited. You might ask Sir Seton Wills, Sir Edward Tompkins and many other people.
Hugh laurie is superb
"One waits!"
“What a hoot” 😂
love tracy.....
And extremely talented woman
Super hilarious and pitiful the same time! I did send this video to all my demented friends who are admiring royal thing ( whatever it is ) and wishing their authority over them. How possibly, you can wish feudalism, remains the mystery! 🤣
A very good rendition of a woman scorned by her social position, yet refusing to give it up for the man she loved!
She would never push her plate away lol that broke the immersion for me
Indeed. One would never.
Or indeed leave her cutlery at the side of her plate. It should be placed together.
Suzette Spencer-Jones One may feel ever so gladsome to see that others still care about practicing good dining etiquette. 😊
She also hated having cigarettes lit for her.
@@mscott3918 Even if gave her the opportunity to torment some luckless nitwit? Wouldn't one make an exception in that case?
Now I really feel what it must be like to be British..
Wow...Hugh Laurie cleans up nicely.
2 of my favourite people ! 🤣
Tracey is a treasure
time for Harry Potter to turn aunt Maggie into a balloon LOL
In the original airing, she said she gave the testicles to Diana for Christmas. Not sure why Tracey felt the need to dub over that after Diana's death.
