Agreed, however her behaviour was another matter.

She wouldn't have a 3 string pearl necklace it had to be 5.

I wouldn’t say pin up model beauty, but she was attractive.

I met an old soldier on my last trip to England, and he said she had the most amazing eyes. I thought he was talking about Diana, but he corrected me. Apparently Princess Margaret’s eye color rivaled that of Elizabeth Taylor’s.

​@@YaYa-ke1zryes my dad saw her in the 1950s and said she was the most beautiful woman he'd seen. I saw Queen Elizabeth in the 1990s and she had fabulous skin and eyes.

Not all dead. Some who were children or teenagers at the time will be in their late 80s or 90s. The Queen herself famously went out in that crowd and she only died recently!

I was just thinking the same thing. Everyone was so happy then.

They’re not all dead. I still have family who lived through the war. They’re getting on a bit but they’re still very much here!

I’m sure there are some still alive. Not many, but some.

She sounds a lot like the Queen.

Yes. I'm glad you pointed it out. It sounds so superior!!

The best comment i have ever read for this wonderful lady.....

100%

Relatable 😭

I was thinking the very same. I don't think I had ever heard Princess Margaret speak before. And, you're so right, this shows her in a completely different light from what the rubbish that the gossip mags printed. She really comes across as being very caring and concerned.

@@sashineb.2114 Didn’t you hear her on “Desert Island Discs” radio programme in 1980s?

Princess Margaret was unfairly treated by the tabloid press.

I so agree with you

@@margaretlavender9647 yes she was very good on the programme

She does look so much like her father. 😍

Absolutely. I had never seen how close the resemblance was before. I would be interested to know when this was filmed.

Thanks for sharing!

I love her laugh too

She was not too young at 71. She took after her father while the Queen took after her mother in longevity.

she was never going to live a long life so she lived her life to the fullest and on her terms

She was 71. That's a decent length.

I think princess Anne is very similar to princess margaret

I Guess she knew she didn't have that burden on her shoulders so she could be more chilled

Her close friends all said she was quite grand and rather short tempered and haughty. But she could be quite a lot of fun, too. She played the piano and sang popular songs of the day. But she drank and smokes endlessly.

To me she looks a lot like Princess Anne here. Funny how children can resemble their aunts and uncles almost more than their own parents at times - just different traits expressing themselves.

They both resemble their Grandmother, Queen Mary of Teck

I think Princess Anne is a lot like her late Aunt Princess Margaret. I say this not meaning she’s not like her mother the Queen only that she has the rebellious side of the late Princess.

@@Bubble170 I agree, how fascinating

It was such a shame that H.R.H Princess Margaret went in the end in 2002 the same year as her Mother at the age of 71 and the Queen Mother was a 101 and now the Queen is Reunighted with H.R.H Prince Philip and the rest of her family

Long live The Queen

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

RIP Queen Elizabeth ll 😢

rip the queen

Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II

I hate how in The Crown, Princess Margaret is portrayed as resentful of the Queen, and as if they were barely friends as adults, when in real life it was the absolute opposite.

I heard she had all the Fun

Their voice is their mother’s she sounded like both their daughters

Well theyre all together now, in God's hands. Rest to all of them

Unfortunately it was lung cancer that got her.

How was she named after Princess Margaret when they were born in the same year?

@@gemmacade9963 likely born after the Princess

@@softshallow7435 No, she died of multiple strokes.

Now they've both gone.

They are together now….

@@ellie-tk4jy Yes, gone forever. So sad.

Amazing!

Thanks for this info.

She was exceptionally intelligent. Her friends have said that she always resented the lack of education she got as a child, in comparison to her sister who was taught extensively.

Yes, I liked that phrase.

That’s just how that generation spoke, and that applies to every language. People used to have a much larger vocabulary than the current generations. Whenever I’m with my grandmother I’m reminded of words that have fallen into disuse, like the word “disuse” lol I’m Portuguese and we have the same word, spelled “desuso”. Having said that though, vicarious is not exactly the fanciest word; there’s that expression “to live vicariously through someone”. Anyone that is not a simpleton knows that saying and can determine the meaning of the word “vicarious” through the adverb and its context in that saying. I’m not even a native English speaker and I know it, so it’s hardly upper English.

@@heucatia Hi, native English speaker here (also with degrees in English). I grew up in the UK and have mingled across different social groups all my life due to how I was raised. 'Vicarious' isn't a word that is normally used by everyday working class lay people - unfortunately there are a lot more 'simpletons' in the anglophone world than you think! Especially these days when more people prefer to pick up a phone than to read a book.

For someone who report ably smoked 60 Cigis a day and was a heavy daily drinker for decades making it to your early 70’s is really not that young. Comparably so to her sister and mother a bit younger but understandably so having lived a much harder life.

It's fascinating to me that so many people think Margaret Rose and Elizabeth spoke identically. To my ear they sound completely dissimilar from one another.

@@jasonhurd4379 it’s just the intonation and Margaret is a bit heavier and deeply settled, the queen was more crispy and sharper
