Speaking of tonight I’m a celebrity … Get me out of here! On Virgin Media One, she said that Prince Charles gave her her first martini and that she was drunk when she sang ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from Les Mis to the Queen Mother.
“I’ve never tried it before so I was pretty … I had two and I was like woah …
“[Queen Mother] Margaret, she says, ‘Yeah yeah oh sing us a song from that show you’re on’ and I was on Les Mis at the time. So I sang ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ and I must have changed my tune three times because I was so mad at martinis, “she said.
Ruthie also revealed that she had met the late Princess Diana, but didn’t remember much.
In a conversation with fellow actor Shane Richie, she said Diana was “lovely.”
“She was lovely. I don’t remember much why Charles gave me my first martini.
“I met her a couple of times and one of my favorite moments was when we were at Balmoral, there was Diana, the Queen, Margarita, the Queen Mother, Carlos, Eduardo, myself.”
Speaking about Prince Edward, she said that she was very much in love with him.
“A lovely guy. And I really fell in love with him.
She said she met him through his theater work.
“He was a production assistant at Andrew Lloyd Webber’s. And then he called me (Andrew) himself and wanted me to play the lead role in A Star Is Born. And Edward was my point of contact. He was the one to pick me up and say he is. rehearsing at 2 o’clock or whatever.
“And he said you’d like to come to mine to see the A Star Is Born movie with me and have dinner. I was like what, in the Palace, is that where you live? “
He remembered going to Windsor Castle for the first time and seeing the Queen sitting outside.
“He invited me to Windsor for the weekend as we walked. I see a table outside and there are people sitting around it and I think it looks like the Queen.
“I remembered that my dad had told me that if you ever met the Queen, he would bow to you and you would call her ma’am. I hold her hand like this (she made a handshake), I forget the bow and I am really very glad to meet you, really nice to meet you. “
