Queen Elizabeth II’s mother, the Queen Mother — who never tired of a floral dress or extravagant hat — was “really camp,” says a royal historian.
“There was a very performative and delicious element to the Queen Mother,” Gareth Russell, author of “Do Let’s Have Another Drink!: The Dry Wit and Fizzy Life of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother,” told Page Six in a recent interview.
“She liked to put on a show,” he explained. “And there was an almost wink, wink, nudge-nudge campness to the way she lived her life.”
The Queen Mother — who was married to King George VI died in March 2002 at the age of 101 — was consistently one of the most popular members of the royal family. The public was charmed by her beatific smile and seemingly endless good cheer.
The Queen Mother was someone who “could handle her drinking really well.”
