A connection between the two is that Queen Elizabeth’s mother was a huge fan of The Golden Girls. Betty White and the rest of the cast were invited to perform for the 1988 Royal Variety Performance. Betty once said, “It was very exciting. The [Queen Mother] was lovely. We were told not to address her unless we were addressed. She was up in a box and she came down on stage after [the performance] with Princess Anne.”

She continued, “The ladies all dropped a small curtsy as she approached. I happened to be the last one in our foursome and after she greeted Bea and Rue and Estelle, as she got to me, she indicated the scantily clad Rockettes behind us and said to me, ‘Aren’t they beautiful girls?’ I curtsied, and replied, ‘Yes, and such lovely bodies.’ She lit up with a radiant smile that belied her eighty-six years and replied, ‘Oh, yes. Lovely bawdies.'”
