THE National Archives have revealed details this week of “candid” correspondence between Thatcher and Princess Margaret during the 1980s in which they exchanged views on “crippling industrial action and turbulent world events” among other things.

Well, there’s a meeting of minds for you — a psychotic megalomaniac and a gin-soaked parasite who may have burned down Windsor Castle with a stray fag end.

The correspondence was apparently initiated by the then prime minister after Princess Margaret visited a hospital — because the royals don’t “go” they “visit” hospital — to have “some things dug out” of her face.
