It Had Been Good For The Princesses
In retrospect, Margaret Rhodes agreed that the King and Queen consort made a wonderful decision that night. It was pretty unheard of to let future heirs loose like that. “It was really rather clever of the King and Queen – and enormous credit to them for letting the girls go out on the wild. It would have been tragic if they hadn’t been given the chance to join in with the people and have that blast of freedom. And it was such a wonderful night. I still remember it all these years on,” she said in the documentary.

“It was a wonderful escape for the girls,” recalled Margaret. “I don’t think they’d ever been out and walked with a million other people. It was a great freedom – the freedom to be an ordinary person for the first time.” Let us hear it from Queen Elizabeth II herself. “I think it was one of the most memorable nights of my life,” she admitted to the BBC. It sounded like a night to remember for anyone, especially a future monarch like she had been back then!
