Yes, I'm thinking of that excruciating photo of the Queen sitting down to a cuppa in someone's shoddy Glasgow council house. Part of a publicity campaign to show she had the 'common touch' after Diana's death. But I did enjoy "Queen Camilla" by Sue Townsend.
It seems the word in question was 'ears'.

The 'inaudible' part might have been engineered to provide a bit of sensationalism on the part of journalists? Anne's quite notorious for her fruity language so they probably thought there was a story to be made in leaving the reader's imagination to fill in the gaps. Princess Margaret seems to have been one of the more interesting Royals in recent times.
