It's interesting to see how similar Princess Margaret's smile is to the Queen's. They even have some of the same mannerisms. I suppose history and the popularity of "The Crown" have emphasized how different they were, but one can see when watching real footage of the two women that they were sisters and had shared traits as siblings will regardless of how different their personalities may be.

I love this interview. It shines a different light on the details of the war and gives us a more personal and approachable Princess Margaret than the stories floating around about her. I think she must have been quite interesting to talk to. It is remarkable how much she and the queen were so much alike.

Nice interview. Princess Margaret seemed rather charming and down-to-earth here. I really liked that you could see her obvious love for her father, mother and sister. I also loved the little bit with the Dionne Quints listening to Princess Elizabeth's radio address and I love Elizabeth's voice. She sounded so sweet, yet mature and wise, and the Quints clapping afterward was so cute. Whatever happened to de-rail Princess Margaret's life, she had a family that loved her and that she loved deeply as well.

I recently read the autobiography by Lady Anne Glenconner, Lady-In-Waiting to Princess Margaret for around 30 years. Much has been made of HRH's rather waspish and acerbic personality. Indeed, Lady Glenconner mentions this herself, but she explains that what the princess didn't take to was over familiarity from those she came into contact with. As Lady A points out HRH never allowed people, even close friends, to forget that she was a royal princess first and foremost. She hated anyone fawning over her but equally she would not let anyone take liberties. She might have called you Darling or Dearest but you had to always refer to her as Your royal highness or Ma'am, never Margaret no matter how close a friend you were. Fascinating woman.
@willyboy35813 жыл бұрын
I agree, John Paul. I've just finished Lady Glenconner's book, and it must have been remarkable tightrope walk to manage, giving just the right degree of deference without becoming either too chummy or sycophantic. In another way, HRH herself was walking a kind of tightrope. It's such a shame that this beautiful, bright, and intelligent woman feel to such a degree: would that a proper, fulfilling role (God forbid, a career was unthinkable) been found for her.

I can't say I've spent much time learning about Pss Margaret, but she is most charming here. I love her recollections. Nothing humanizes those in high positions more than when they talk about their childhoods. Her determination and lack of sentimentality are engaging, never more so than when she talks about the King and Queen, and of course her sister. I don't think I've ever seen her in such a positive and sympathetic light.

Margaret was clearly genuinely interested in talking about her wartime experiences.

she used to also go to bible study there is so much I think was written about her that were lies purposefully set down to destroy her reputation. And she even said she had been misrepresented and misreported since she was 14. In a letter she said she never had anyone to stick up for her. She asked she be buried with her father. I believe bc she thought he was the only one who truly cared for her and protected her.

She was a narcissist. She thought she was all that and a bag of chips. She was racist too. And loved toying with men. People think she was this amazing person because of how the crown portrays her. She did love her family but cared about being rich and her royal title. She was not a good person. People these days think she’s amazing because of her looks. Don’t get me wrong she was stunning on the outside but ugly in the inside. She wasn’t a good person. Very spoiled.

One of the major issues public personalities face, and let’s be upfront about this, is that millions of people feel that they know these people. Because of this, they have to develop strategies that will provide protection. This is also a problem of physical security. They live in a world of constant threat. I once viewed an interview with Pricilla Presley where she explained above Elvis Presley’s seemingly odd behavior. Elvis, because of his fame, could not go out in public without attracting a mob of fans, so he would rent a bowling alley for the evening and take his entourage out for an evening. We forget how famous P.M. was and in what intense, public scrutiny she was destined to live her life. Imagine every aspect of one’s life lived under a microscope. Imagine wondering every minute what friend, foe, ex-lover, or family member was going to betray you for thirty talents of silver to the voracious, British press. I could not live that way; very few of us could. It is not a life I would choose. Princess Margaret had no choice; she was born into a public life with no way of escape. Her Royal facade was her shield. Behind that shield was a vulnerable woman who did the best she could. I wish she had been interviewed many more times. I found this interview delightful. I wanted to protect her. In fact, I think I’m a little bit in love with her. Rest In Peace. You made the world a better place.

But They dont realize that the times change, and everything going on to the future, that's the nature od the human being. All this RulesBook its not for maintenance of Monarhii, but for the outsiders Who gonna go in to the Royals. That what they do with "Diana" She start be a much more popular even the Queen, and her son future King, but they were stupid enough and self-centered enough that instead of helping her and bringing Monarhia into a new Era, maintaining the status of adored by their own people, they preferred to push her out of the candlestick by their irrational selfishness and narcissistic attitude and snobbery that Has allways accompanied the Windsor's from the beginning of Their Reign. Sorry British, and Majesty The Queen!. But that's the trouth
