Marjorie Windsor, an upper-class, self-superior snob, was the mother of socially ameliorated George Windsor. She was, to most, a good-for-nothing representation of most "posh" people, as depicted by Waterloo Road's students, such as Shaznay Montrose ("I'm sorry, I'm not fluent in council estate slang"). She had an exasperated dislike for George's wives or romances as they weren't of high-class superiority, such as Princess Windsor and Carol Barry.

Towards the end of Series 9 Episode 14, after Marjorie made comments about George's new love interest Carol, and George snapped that she was a vile woman and that he had grown up to become the acid-tongued, arrogant equivalent of her. Due to George's anger, he threw Marjorie's inhaler across the hallway, smashing it, not believing that she was really asthmatic. She then left in a taxi. Later that day, police officers arrived to inform George that Marjorie had died from an asthma attack in the taxi, the driver having thought she was asleep. It left George distraught and racked with guilt due to her death being to an extent his fault, due to him smashing the inhaler.

Personality[]

Marjorie was a callous, cynical, snobbish, arrogant woman. Due to her privileged birth, as George put it, she had extreme spite and contempt towards those she considered beneath her. She was a hypocrite: she appeared kind and caring, supportive of her son's position and of the children's behaviour, but once she found out about Carol Barry courting George, she immediately showed her poisonous true colours as a bitter, cruel and cynical snob.
