The British Twiggy, born Lesley Lawson, became famous as a model in the swinging sixties. Here she talks about how an event changed her life forever.
Mrs LawsonYou were knighted by the Queen in 2019 for services to fashion, the arts and charity. We should actually call you Dame Lesley. Can we still say Twiggy?
Of course! It was a big surprise that I never expected. One day I found a letter in my mailbox with the stamp of the British royal family. When I read that I was being made a “Dame”, I had to sit down for a moment.
