The Royal Family Loves Lucy!

The making of the 1969 BBC documentary on the Royal Family was portrayed in "The Crown" series, with the Royals staged watching TV. But what the series didn't show was what they were actually watching: the premiere of "Here's Lucy" and getting a big kick out of it! In the 1969 doc, we hear audio from the episode but there's never a solo shot of the TV. I've inserted the actual video---except for the last shot: Lucy's reaction to Princess Margaret's "banal" crack, which was actually about the contrived set-up (she had a point) rather than what the quality of what they were watching. But perhaps Princess Margaret was a "Laugh-In" fan!

Did The Queen get to meet Lucille Ball? If so, it'd be awesome to see the footage. - 🇺🇸
