Princess Josephine Loewenstein tells the TV show that Margaret, a close pal, told her: “I’ve only seen my sister cry once.

“It was when the Press put all the articles about her not getting on with Mrs Thatcher.”

The show tells how Mrs T was so nervous of the Queen she would race off to gulp down a whisky in Buckingham Palace to recover from their weekly meetings.

Once when Mrs T was staying at Balmoral, the irritated Queen is said to have hissed: “Can’t that woman just sit down?”
