Appearing in 'The Crown' and other splendid dramas

Mum, who you'll find in the pages of 'Funnily Enough', somehow manages to appear in an alrming number of movies and costume dramas.

'I am a member of European royalty in 'The Crown'.
'Are you?'
'They don't actually know the name of my character - who was a real person of course - but I sit in a wheelchair, really rather close to The Queen. At her wedding.' The scene was shot on location at Ely Cathedral.

I can only see Mum's hand in the movie trailer of 'Absolutely Fabulous'. It is holding a glass of champagne at the late life lesbo party.

Mum is more visible, and certainly more audible in the official film trailer of 'The Invisible Woman'. She plays a Victoria lady accosting Charles Dickens on the steps of the Albert Hall:

Mum appearing in 'The Invisible Woman'

Mum appears at the beginning of this trailer for The Invisible Woman, directed by Ralph Fiennes.

'Truly, Mr Dickens,' she assures him. 'It is never so alive as when it is spoken by its author.'

The hectic scene was shot on location at Harrow School where her grandson was a pupil. Her wig was originally made for Judy Dench and she rather liked the bonnet.

'Have you seen the film, Mum?'
'Seen the film? I was invited to the premier!'

They had cast party on a barge going down the Thames - and I could have gone!
