During her I’m A Celebrity Appearance just years ago, Ruthie joked to a fellow camper, Shane Richie: “You performed in Buckingham Palace, you sang in the gardens, I sha***d in the bedrooms.”
She also shared a story about how she got drunk on “martinis” and performed for the royals one evening, even interrupting the late Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret while they were singing a hymn at Balmoral Castle.
She once told Hello! Magazine: “I met (Diana) a couple of times and one of my favourite, favourite times – we were at Balmoral, Diana, the Queen, (Princess) Margaret, the Queen Mother, Edward, myself. She was lovely. I don’t remember an awful lot because Charles gave me my first martini so I was fairly… I had two of them and I was like ‘Woah’.
“The Queen and Margaret start singing a hymn and Diana goes, ‘Sing us a song!’ Margaret then goes, ‘Yes sing us a song from that show you’re in’. I was in Les Misérables at the time, and I sang I Dreamed a Dream and I must’ve changed key three times because I was so p***** on martinis.”
As reported by Hello! Magazine, she said: “I found old diaries which I began writing in the 1980s and then found all my letters from Prince Edward, and I was struck by how precious this time in my life was.”

She continued: “I was on the West End stage – my dream since I was a girl – and shared a love with a man very few people even know. If this was someone else’s story, I would think they had made it up. So here it is – a look behind the curtain of a crazy life in musical theatre and what happens next when a showgirl falls in love with a prince.”
Ruthie met a number of royals during her time as Prince Edward’s girlfriend, including Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles, when he was Prince Charles.
Ruthie and Edward’s relationship was believed to have lasted five years on and off.
