It was very true, it was in the news here in Australia when Barry was in hospital towards the end. I believe the Royals were fans of Dame Edna, after all, didn't the Dame have a shelf in the Queens fridge all to herself?

[@nathelondon3719]

This is a classic. It can never age. RIP Comic genius.

There will never be another one like Dame Edna absolutely brilliant ❤

[@Neo.Altair]

He first appeared as Edna in the film "Bunyip" (1970), and since that year, up until now, there is still nobody has come close to that brilliance. The Adventures of Barry McKenzie (1972) - is perhaps most famous for one of its final scenes where then Australian Prime Minister 'Gough Whitlam' makes a cameo appearance and makes Edna Everage a Dame, so from then on ', A Dame is Born, Dame Edna.

[@kevinchambers1101]

[@Vejur9000]

One of the great comedic minds of all time. Dame Edna is the diva of all divas. What’s great about this moment? Charles is laughing so hard, that Edna almost cracks up. “I’m so sorry. They’ve found me a better seat.” And she just leaves. I can’t. I wish Barry Humphries could have lived forever. This comedy moment, will live in my head for all time.

[@jasonbezis1467]

Dame Edna wasn't just "the diva of all divas" or a "mega-star." She was the world's first (albeit self-proclaimed) "giga-star"!

[@Neo.Altair]

This Dame is genuinely a master of comedy! She made it seem so effortless, but I know it's not easy to make an entire crowd burst with laughter just by using mannerisms and not even saying a word. Her unexpected final line was the cherry on top! Even the royals couldn't contain themselves and were laughing out loud. The King has such a great sense of humour, it's nice to see it come out occasionally. Being in such a high-status position, he probably can't let it shine as often as he would like. And it's heartwarming to see that the Queen is such a good sport too. They both clearly had a great time!

Over they years I have watched so many female impersonators, but I have to say there are many differences in the quality of entertainment value and like or appreciation of the audience. Dame Edna was brilliant, razor sharp sarcasm-whit but never ever the mean or cruel vitriol of some present day drag queens. The icons like Dame Edna, Danny La Rue, Craig Russel, Charles Pierce will live on in our memories for the joy they brought to us. There are others who are waiting in the wings, but the real icons are the ones of class not the ones who are crass and crude or cruel by finding a victim in their audience to belittle or humiliate to get laughs.
