Lesley Manville (as Princess Margaret): A matching nightdress and kaftan Season 5, Episode 4, 'Annus Horribilis' Custom-made golden brown nightdress with scoop neckline depicting blue and green fish, and a matching long-sleeved kaftan; together with a pair of fluffy grey velvet wedge peep-toe slippers by Dunlop (3) Footnotes: As seen in the Kensington Palace scene when watching the Annus Horribilis speech by Imelda Staunton (as the Queen) on the television. In 1992 Queen Elizabeth II marked the 40th year of her reign by delivering the now famous Annus Horribilis speech, for which she received a standing ovation from the 500 guests at the Guildhall luncheon. The speech was deemed the first time that the Queen's inner turmoil and vulnerability regarding her own life was shown openly to the world. In this year, the Queen saw three of her children separate from their spouses, a number of royal scandals were discussed within the tabloids, and Windsor Castle suffered a major fire only days before the speech: 'No institution, city, monarchy, whatever, should expect to be free from scrutiny of those who give it their loyalty and support, not to mention those who don't. But we are all part of the same fabric of our national society and that scrutiny, by one part of another, can be just as effective if it is made with a touch of gentleness, good humour, and understanding.'
