The revelation comes from the US crooner's daughter and eldest of his four children - Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher - who said her father had a 'beautiful' romance with Princess Margaret.She didn't reveal when the liaison took place but it has been suggested it may have occurred in 1952, when Fisher was 24 - and enjoying his first UK number one with Outside of Heaven - and the princess was 22, eight years before she married the Earl of Snowdon. Fisher - whose five wives included Elizabeth Taylor and Debbie Reynolds - was said to be Margaret's favourite singer and the pair were pictured together in the 50s. Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV, to be broadcast tomorrow, Miss Fisher, 59, said: 'I met Princess Margaret once. I did. I really did. Well, they did the Empire Strikes Back and they did it over here. So we all went [to the premiere] with Alec Guinness, Harrison [Ford] and with Mark [Hamill] and as she was coming down the line I mentioned to my co-stars that my father had had sex with Princess Margaret. In a beautiful way they made love. Anyway I did mention this. I am going to get in a lot of trouble for this.' She added: 'After the movie we went over to the Savoy where the party was and Harrison had arrived at the party prior to my arrival and also before Princess Margaret had arrived as well. He came up to me and said "Well clearly your father will sleep with anybody." He was joking. It was funny.'
Were Brussels jihadis trying to make a RADIOACTIVE BOMB? Expert says ISIS may have been plotting to steal nuclear material - as 11 power plant workers have their access revoked amid fears of 'insider help'
The Brussels terrorists may have been plotting to make a radioactive bomb after it emerged 11 nuclear power plant workers have had their site access revoked amid fears of 'insider help'. Footage shows the ISIS cell were spying on the Belgian's nuclear power chief, possibly as part of a kidnap plan to force him to let them into an atomic facility. Hours of film of the home of the Research and Development Director of the Belgian Nuclear Programme were discovered in an apartment raided by anti-terrorist police following the attack in Paris - and is believed to have been created by the Brussels bombers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui (pictured top alongside master bombmaker Najim Laachraoui, top right). It emerged last night that 11 workers at the Tihange nuclear power plant, 40 miles south-east of Brussels, have had their access badges withdrawn - leading to speculation the bombers may have been seeking insider help.

Was Laurence Fox baring his soul on his emotional debut album? Lyrics in a number of songs hinted at marriage problems before split from Billie Piper
He had been behaving erratically for weeks. Bellowing profanities at hecklers in the theatre, releasing a heartbreak record and confessing to marital rows on live television. And yesterday all became clear as Laurence Fox announced his separation from Billie Piper. The couple, aged 37 and 33 respectively, broke the news on Laurence's Facebook page. 'Laurence Fox and Billie Piper have separated,' read the statement. 'No third parties are involved.'
Why IS William still fascinated with his old flame Jecca? Questions over Prince's last-minute decision to attend the Kenyan wedding of his 'first love'
Before Kate Middleton came into the William's life, Jecca Craig, pictured left and right, was frequently described as his 'first love', and now the prince is set to attend her wedding in Africa without his wife and children. Some might say this is simply William, pictured centre with his wife Kate Middleton, celebrating the nuptial bliss of an old friend. And yet, at a time when he has faced criticism over his apparent lack of commitment both to royal duties and his part-time job as an air ambulance helicopter pilot, the visit is bound to lead to questions about the wisdom of making the trip in the first place. It is, after all, only a couple of weeks since he enjoyed a five-day ski holiday with Kate and their children in the French Alps.
Revealed: Adam Johnson was arrested for possession of animal porn but will not face action after he was jailed for SIX YEARS for grooming and abusing 15-year-old girl
- Adam Johnson's teenage victim was so traumatised after giving evidence for two days during the trial she took an overdose
- Adam Johnson not stripped of his 12 England caps insist the FA, despite barrister's claims prior to six-year prison sentence for sexual activity with a minor
Johnson's phone and laptop were seized after his arrest at home in County Durham in March last year. The 28-year-old was then re-arrested on suspicion of possessing extreme pornography but was not charged with the offence as the police investigation focused on his meetings with the girl. He has since been told he will not face action over the bestiality images. After his case concluded today, it can also be reported that medication for sexually transmitted infections was found at the star's home by police. The former Sunderland winger (pictured, left, entering court, right, in a court sketch and, inset, being driven away in a prison van following his hearing) showed no emotion as he was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court by Judge Jonathan Rose today. He was this afternoon taken away in a prison van (inset).
TERROR IN BRUSSELS
Did bomber brothers work as cleaners at Brussels Airport? Prosecutors probe claims jihadis took jobs that gave them intimate knowledge of the terminal they destroyed
The uncle of two bomber brothers claimed they worked at the Brussels airport they targeted. Ibrahim (bottom right) and Khalid (top right) el-Bakraoui would have gained intimate knowledge of the terminal destroyed in Tuesday's carnage - and should have undergone security checks. The uncle's claims add to the list of bungled chances to prevent the attacks, in which the brothers and accomplices killed 31 and wounded 270 with bombs at the airport and on a Metro train. It also emerged last night that the brothers had been on US terror watchlists.

RAF-serving father Andy Barnard (left), from Thetford, Norfolk, had pledged to give his only daughter the big day of her dreams but when doctors said Poppy-Mai was terminally ill, he arranged an agonising 'ceremony' for her. The little girl wore white and was walked down the aisle by her mother Sammi Barnard, 29, and big brothers Rylee, six, and Jenson-Jay, four (right). He said: 'Our hearts our broken forever but I wanted to keep my promise to my princess.'

The lawyer for ex-deputy chairman Suzanne Evans (left, with Farage) threatened to expose 'bits about Nigel beating his wife' in a witness statement in High Court battle to seek an injunction against Miss Evans's suspension from the party. It was made in a bid to persuade the party to delay Miss Evans's disciplinary hearing - which led to her suspension - so she could remain on her party's list to stand in the London Assembly elections. Mr Farage insisted the allegations of domestic violence against his wife Kirsten (right) are 'entirely ludicrous'.

So why is Dave on holiday island alone while Sam and the kids are at home? Cameron jets off to Lanzarote for Easter a day earlier than family because he needs 'time to think'
The Prime Minister was pictured on the island of Lanzarote after jetting off on holiday after a 'tough week'. But Cameron has been criticised for starting his holiday despite the fact MPs are still working. Cameron flew out to the Canary Island on the last day of parliament before the Easter recess, but urged MPs 'not to lose sight of what we can do'. He was also accused of hypocrisy after he urged families to spend their holidays in the flood-hit north of England to help boost the economy of local communities. His authority as Prime Minister was significantly undermined last Friday after Iain Duncan Smith dramatically quit the Cabinet in protest at plans to slash a further £4.4billion from the disability benefits budget at the same time as George Osborne gave a tax break to middle class earners.

Hero of Irish pier tragedy holds the baby he saved as heartbroken mother lays to rest the five members of her family who died when car plunged into sea
Cradling the baby he saved from certain death, a hero former footballer was today saluted for his bravery by thousands of mourners at the funeral for five members of the little girl's family. Davitt Walsh (right) was reunited with 14-month-old Rionaghac-Ann last night, four days after she was handed to him by her father just seconds before the family's vehicle sank to the bottom of the sea. It had plunged off a pier in Ireland and Mr Walsh made a desperate attempt to save the family. It came as it emerged that Rionaghac-Ann's eight-year-old brother Evan McGrotty made a final heart-rending phone call to his mother Louise James (left, carrying his coffin) - telling her he wanted to give her 'the biggest, tightest hug' - minutes before he drowned with his father, 12-year-old brother, grandmother and her 14-year-old daughter.
