Summary

Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon was a bright rose, who bloomed even in the shadow of her older sister, Queen Elizabeth II. She was a fashion icon and the life of many parties. She had a scandalous romance her sovereign sibling could never sanction, and a disastrous marriage which paved the way for future royal divorces. And through it all, she was a dedicated support and friend to the Queen. Let’s peek behind the tabloid headlines and the outrageous scenes in the Crown, and get to know the real Princess Margaret.
