Nobody messes with Princess Margaret
At a dinner party the French ambassador, sitting next to her , accidentally flicks globules of sauce over the front of the Princess Margaret dress.
The Princess compressed her lips and turned down the corners of her mouth, but said nothing. Putting down the cigarette holder , she pinched her napkin between her fingers and handed it to Monsieur d’Alantour:
“WIPE! ‘ she said with terrifying simplicity’
While the ambassador is on his knees, rubbing the spot of sauce on her dress , the Princess lights a cigarette and turns back to her host.
