      [the Queen and Mrs Thatcher have just had a meeting about South African sanctions. Mrs Thatcher lectured the Queen in her usual domineering fashion]

      The Queen: I did rather well at the meeting today, Bill. I managed to get a word in edgeways.

      Bill Heseltine: Well done, Ma'am.

      The Queen: I think Queen Victoria had a very similar problem with Gladstone.
