“There's a lovely character in 'Under Milk Wood' called Mrs. Ogmore Pritchard and she's incredibly tidy and clean. She really is unbearably tidy and clean! And I terrorize my husband when he comes in sometimes from shooting and there's awful dead birds all over the hall that he calls me Mrs. Ogmore Pritchard.”
“Under Milk Wood' was given to me when I was quite young, in Sydney. I didn't even know what Wales was, let alone anything about Dylan Thomas. It taught me the beginning of my love of English literature.”
“I sail and play tennis, and I don't smoke or drink caffeine.”
“Prince Philip is very intellectual. And Prince Charles is extremely well read.”
“Don't forget I'm not English. English people maybe don't behave like we Europeans do.”
“Queen Elizabeth is reserved when she meets strangers - but with friends and family she can be very witty.”

“The situation is as follows: my husband is a second son. That means he doesn't get the income to be a member of the Royal Family, carrying out royal duties. He, we, do as much, if not more, than some of the cousins, but he doesn't get a penny for expenses or income for doing that.”
“Don't you talk to me about members of the Royal Family, you know I am not going to talk about them. Diana's dead. Talking about dead people is history.”
“Of course I miss the big gardens we had at our country house but it became very expensive to run we couldn't afford it.”
“I travelled on African buses.”
“The Queen is distant towards strangers. But with friends and family she can be very funny.”
“I have different ways of saying things and doing things.”
“You can't be six feet tall and invisible.”
“The people love to see happy young people and I think the older generation are a bit boring for most people.”
“Breakfast is served on my Herend china and I sit in an old armchair so I can read the papers.”
“I am not going to write 'Fifty Shades of Royal Purple.' Well I could, but I would be put in a beautifully decorated - that having been my profession before - room in the Tower.”
“There is a law against discrimination in England. But there is a different law for the royal family.”
