Nancy Reagan Remembers Margaret Thatcher: 'We Had A Very Special Relationship' (VIDEO)

Nancy Reagan Reminisces About Her Relationship With Margaret Thatcher

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan called into MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" to share memories of her relationship with former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

"We had a very special relationship," Reagan said.

"I think people thought she and I didn't have a relationship," Reagan told Mitchell. "Nothing could be farther from the truth."

The former First Lady also commented on Thatcher and former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Thatcher and Reagan had a close relationship during Reagan's two terms as president and held very similar political views.

"And of course I loved it that she and Ronnie were as close as they were," Reagan said.

Thatcher died early Monday morning after suffering a stroke. Thatcher served as Prime Minister for 11 years until she stepped down in 1990. She was 87.
