Funny / A Royal Night Out

Go To

  • When Margaret announces that she's going out "incognito", while wearing a royal tiara:
    Footman: Does the tiara rather gave the game away, ma'am?
    Margaret: [as if this has only just occurred to her] ... Yes.
  • Jack and Elizabeth's first meeting, where he notices the posh voice.
    Jack: Family well-off by any chance?
    beat
    Elizabeth: We manage.
  • When Elizabeth is struggling to understand from the window of the other bus and keeps missing her words.
    Everyone in the bus: TRAFALGAR SQUARE!
  • Elizabeth and Margaret are escorted to a posh hotel where they expect they'll start their evening mingling with people on the dance floor. Instead they get led into a small room filled with Upper Class couples all of them old enough to be the princesses' grandparents. Both girls are not thrilled.
  • Margaret sharing a car with a car full of prostitutes who have no idea they're talking to the princess.
    Margaret: Mother wanted me back before 1.
    Prostitute: She's got lofty expectations, that mother of yours.
    • Margaret's Innocent Innuendo while talking about dancing, the prostitutes think she's talking about...you know.
    Prostitute: How's it gone for you, ducks?
    Margaret: My feet have hardly touched the floor. First there was the man at Trafalgar Square. We went all the way to the Kurzon.
    Prostitute: Blimey. He had his money's worth.
  • And Elizabeth's realisation of the situation. "My sister has gone to Chelsea with a carload of tarts!"
  • Capt Pryce is interrupted in the middle of a bloody good shag and angrily asks who's on the phone...only to be told it's the King.
  • Margaret drunkenly stumbling home at 6 am. Just like any young woman coming home from a night out. Except in this case she's the princess and it's the gates of Buckingham Palace.
    Margaret: Coo-ee!
    • Margaret introduces herself to the owner of the...ahem...knock-in-shop. "I'm P2, Princess number two! No one cares what I do."
    • She innocently asks her parents later "What is a knocking shop?" The King and Queen glance horrifyingly at the two escorts who can only stand at attention.
  • And at Chelsea Barracks, two soldiers get into a tug of war over who gets to dance with Margaret. They even pull rank on each other.
    Margaret: Well I outrank both of you!
