I never knew about Barbara and Wendy. They seemed to be different personalities though. From what I have heard, Wendy was more soft and kind with the younger cast, whereas Barbara was very strict (even though it wasn't her place to say anything), she took an actor to one side and said to them "when you come to set, you make sure you know your lines".
I never knew that difference - that’s interesting. Pauline became an utter misery towards the end so it was very difficult to like her.
There is a clip from 2001 of both of them greeting the queen on set and then Barbara leads with the queen, Wendy with the king. There’s been a lot of talk about Wendy not being happy with that, but Wendy generally being unhappy when Barbara came in as it was felt by Wendy that she had lost being the main matriarch.
