Susannah Constantine has told how Prince Philip came to her rescue when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction at a dinner at Windsor Castle.
The former Strictly star was at the castle as she was in a relationship with Princess Margaret’s son David at the time, and had borrowed an elegant dress from her mum for the occasion. However, after some sort of mishap with her glitzy outfit she was left “flashing to the room”.
Opening up on the Dirty Mother Pukka podcast, the star, 62, said she had been tucking into her soup at the time and had no idea that her dress had come open and exposed her chest.

“I was sat between Prince Edward and Prince Philip,” she explained. “I had on this really beautiful Valentino dress that I had borrowed off my mum and it was sort of strappy, something I could never wear now.”

Susannah, who is best known for the TV show What Not To Wear, went on: “I was just sort of, you know, eating my soup and everything, and suddenly Prince Philip put his hand on my back. And I thought, ‘Oi oi! What’s going on here?’”
“And then he went round to my front, and I thought he was going for one of my boobs,” she joked. “And he lifted my dress up to recover my modesty. Because my boobs were open to the public! I was flashing to the whole room!”

Susannah said that the royal, who died in 2021 at the age of 99, then asked a footman if he could grab a couple of safety pins in order to fix her outfit. “And then Princess Margaret came around and saved the day,” she shared.
The TV star – who was a contestant on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 – dated Princess Margaret’s son David Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley in the 80s. They were together for around eight years but split up and went their separate ways in 1989.
