Mary Wilson from the Supremes recalls the time she met Princess Margret and was surprised to learn she was just like the people she knew from the projects back home in Detroit ...
Mary Wilson tells The Sun
“Princess Margaret came, she stopped in front of me and said, 'Woo, Mary is that a wig you're wearing?' The hairpiece is big, the eyelashes. We went over the top, kind of like gay folks – more is better right?"
“So I felt so embarrassed because I didn't think royal people acted the same way my neighbours did. I mean, she reminded me of somebody who lived in the Projects, right. You probably will hate me – all the English people – for saying that but it was a little embarrassing.”
“We became great friends. It was just that first meeting. It was like she acted like she knew me for ages and something that you would say at a backyard party. So I was very taken aback by it but I got over it.”
Mary Wilson is competing on the current season of Dancing with the Stars.
