Marilyn Monk

Marilyn Monk is the sister of Beverley Threadgold, the husband to Les and the mother of Leslie Monk.

Character Role
Marilyn is a blonde bombshell with an exquisite figure, and is the butt of an attack from PC Ludlow while heavily pregnant with her daughter. She and Ludlow start an argument, and when Ludlow and Inspector Holyland insult her convicted husband, she starts screaming for Les, making Violet Toby, her friend, Beverley Threadgold, her sister and Prince Charles attack Ludlow and Holyland in Marilyn's defense.

Marilyn makes only one other appearance in The Queen And I; the birth of her only child, Leslie. Violet Toby is in attendance when Marilyn starts having contractions. When the ambulance is lost in the maze of streets in the Flowers Estate, Violet runs to The Queen's house, as she has her light still on. The Queen and Vi then run back to Marilyn, who is alone in the house apart from four of Les' children from a previous liaison. One of them referred to only as the Daft Teenager, is sent to boil hot water and make cups of tea. The Queen, shocked at the state of Marilyn's house, runs back to her house and arrives back at Marilyn's with lots of her own personal things for newborn children. Marilyn is deeply grateful to both Vi and The Queen to the extent that she names the baby Leslie Kerry Violet Elizabeth Monk. The other three children come downstairs, awoken by Marilyn's screams of pain, and take turns to hold the baby. The ambulance then arrives, and takes Marilyn to hospital.

A week or so later, Violet and Bev have a row about why Vi called on the Queen for help instead of her. Vi's defense was that the Queen had a light on and anyway, Bev couldn't stand the sight of blood, and Bev's defense was that she was Marilyn's sister. Violet won the fight.

Marilyn and her family did not return for Queen Camilla.
