Question - How many times did Matt appear on the Royal Variety Performance ?

[Marian]

A. Once.

Q. Who was 'The Royal' present at the time?

[Lena & Harry Smith]

The Queen and The Queen Mother.

Matt worked on many occasions with the lovely June Marlow, what did he amusingly name them both. ?

[Marian]

I'm not sure Matt ever appeared before the Queen Lena, it was definitely Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

I was hesitant about the Queen Marian, so checked the Worldlingo web-site that stated that the Queen and Queen Mother attended.
Web-sites do make mistakes though, even Wikipedia.

[Marian]

Thanks Lena. The reason I thought it was just The Queen Mother was
only her name was mentioned in a programme I had.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

This is the one in November 1966 with David Jacobs introducing the show, and compere Des O' Connor.
