Margaret Thatcher - The DIY Queen of Politics
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from December 1975, we catch a glimpse of Margaret Thatcher's lesser-known domestic side. Spending the weekend in the picturesque countryside with her husband Dennis at Scotney Castle, near Tunbridge Wells, Kent, the Iron Lady took on an unexpected role as a decorator extraordinaire. Dressed impeccably for the occasion in a stylish matching green jumper and skirt ensemble, complete with a printed overall to protect her outfit, Thatcher wielded a paintbrush with confidence and skill. Her determination to tackle the task herself stemmed from her astute financial sense - she revealed that hiring decorators would have cost £75.00 per room! A true testament to her frugality and hands-on approach. As captured by photographer Tom King, this snapshot showcases not only Thatcher's practicality but also highlights her ability to effortlessly balance politics and personal life. While she transformed their new country Belfry Flat into a cozy haven amidst stunning surroundings, it is worth noting that even great leaders like Churchill had once taken up manual labor – reminding us all of their relatability beyond their public personas. This unique image offers an intriguing insight into one of Britain's most influential figures during the 1970s while celebrating both her exceptional political career and unexpected flair for DIY projects.
