She revealed the monarch once got her a game of Twister, but chuckled as she admitted they never played it together.  

Victoria added that the Queen paid her the honour of coming to her great-niece's Christening last month. 

She said it was 'lovely' to see her and 'she seemed so well and looking amazing. 

'And her skin is so amazing. We were incredibly lucky, she was so kind to come to that,' she added. 

Her mother, Margaret Rhodes, who died in 2016, was the Queen's cousin, and became one of her closest confidantes. 

'She was the same age as the Queen, she spent so much time with the Queen and Princess Margaret,' she said. 

'They became really, really good friends, best-mates,' Victoria added. 

Margaret was there when a triumphant Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret attended V day celebrations in London and 'danced the conga around the Ritz,' Victoria revealed. 

'It was just incredible it was like Cinderella in reverse and nobody knew who they were, that Mummy was with two princesses,' she said. 

'At the end somebody went back to tell the King and Queen that they were there at the front,' she added. 

'Mummy spent a lot of time in Scotland with them and in her late years she lived in Buckingham Palace and spent a lot of time at Windsor Castle.'

'In the late years, when my father died, the Queen really kindly offered her a place in Windsor Great Park and Mummy was so hugely grateful.

'Then she became a lady- in-waiting for the Queen mother and had a really lovely 30 years in Windsor Great Park.
