All these people complaining yet they enabled her simply because she was the queen's sister
FANCY THAT Margaret of all people to be so rude to Fergie when she had pictures of her and Roddy Llewellen ??!? Sheeeeeesh!
They were very different pics.
Margaret is a real beauty who lived a nasty life. With that being said she has the nerve to rebuke the duchess knowing fully well she herself lived a very nasty life and embarrassed the family on many occasions
The “back story” of her romance with Peter Townsend is very interesting; perhaps it is true that she was only intensely infatuated, but I believe he genuinely loved her because a few years later he married a young French woman (Marie-Luce Jamagne) who looked so much like Princess Margaret that you could almost believe they were identical twins.
This has popped up on RUclips I am watching on the eve of our late Queen Elizabeth's funeral. Hope you are both now with your dear father.
@@rosez2528 Oops so sorry I was not correct. I wasn't being totally accurate as most of the views of this very old programme were a long while ago. I just thought someone might read this way into future therefore didn't need to be so accurate. Did not know someone would bother to react in such a smack your wrist way.
@@paulinemakepeace4582 Oh my...Ms Pauline, I'm so sorry it came off that way. I thought I may have missed the funeral. I work many hours and there's a huge time difference. That's why I made the statement. My apologies again if it came off as a scolding, I honestly didn't mean it that way at all. 🙏🏼
@@rosez2528 Hey! no problem. Sometimes by making a simple comment a person pop's up with aggressive or judgemental comments. These can be based on the most simplest of an opinion. I think I am becoming jaded as I have had run in's with Trolls. You sound like a very good person and thanks for reply.
@@paulinemakepeace4582 You're very welcome and Thank you for understanding.
I'll be deleting that comment. I reread it and I see how it could've easily been misinterpreted.
🙏🏼
@@rosez2528 Ok! No problem.
To bad she thought she was second best and no one helped her to feel different
May she rest in peace 🙏
She was smart not to cut off her only income. Utw as safety. What if something happened to him? What are her survival skills beyond simply existing and being a princess?
This film mentions Margaret not paying her friend for lobster but I understand that she also didnt pay for her HOUSE on the island. Lord Falconer the owner offered her some land on the island as a birthday present and somehow ended up building a house for her..with his own money.
Rubbish. Lord Glenconner owned the island of Mustique and the land and her house was his wedding gift to her. As for the silly woman and the lobster ….. she derived enormous benefit by mere association. How I loathe people whom criticise Princess Margaret never having known her or e=en meeting her. PM was a marvellous lady , warm , witty , intelligent and a most loyal friend.
@@alexandradane3672 I've been binge watching these documentaries and I just finished watching one with Lord Glenconner. Where he himself states he 'asked her (jokingly), if she wanted a cocktail shaker or a piece of the land he had just purchased in the Caribbean.'
He really didn't expect her to say Yes to the piece of land. That was in 1960 and wasn't spoken about again, that is until he received a phone call from her.
that piece became a chunk and she asked if it came with a house, Lord Glenconner says he felt he had no choice but to pay for and get the house built as well.
Here's the link..
ruclips.net/video/mZ1jOAPcI2k/видео.html
The locals complained about that as well. Saying she was very "frugal" with the money. I say it's just a fancy word for *_"Cheap"_*
@@alexandradane3672 rubbish - he gave her a plot of land - there was no house on it. She made him build one later at his own expense. SOURCE: HIM!
But her having a home there, increased the value of the island tremendously
She seemed desperately unhappy throughout her adult life.
Sad.
Why is everyone making excuses ? She was a narcissist, she would have acted this way if she was born a commoner. She would had then yelled bloody murder for not being born a royal.
Absolutely. Agree.
Amen!!
I have no pity for Princess Margaret
I really have a hard time feeling sorry for the so called royals.
She had the chance to marry and gave it up to live a royal life style
That says it all
That cant be a fair statement. Her sister ruined her life in a way. Same lady was generous to her pumpkin sons, Charles and Andrew. Compared to these donkeys, Margaret was a saint. Feel sorry for her sad life.
@@OctPSfever you have to put that they were other times in the past!! in the 50s, they could not marry divorced people!!! however the queen didn't ruin her life because she was free to choose but she Margaret was Very intelligent And did you understand if I leave everything, what happens to me? The end of my disowned uncle and and Disowned and exiled from his family!! You did the math and didn't agree anymore!! She then she had married Antony That wasn't noble but at least he wasn't married!!! And even if he was he could marry a nobleman anyway!! Andres the queen took away all the titles for the vices of him as a depraved !! Carlo is already better Respect to Andrew!
Those 1990s car commercials are the best.
Epic documentary. i loved every bit of it.
@olivelane5619 totally agree
A very beautiful woman....RIP
yes excellent docu.
Too short 4 foot ten.
@@misscoutts6193 She was 5'1", Elizabeth 5'4".
Actually she was George V’s fourth grandchild because his daughter Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood had two sons before Elizabeth and Margaret were born.
No one ever hears about them but George Harewood was the first to divorce circa I956 and was banned from Court. Could this be a reason Margaret didn't marry Townsend? He was unfairly treated and did not attend any royal occasions thereafter.
Thanks so much for this!
The institution is tough. But, desperate or not, the goings on at Mustique were - well - all money and plums in mouths but cheap and - meh - just gross, personally, and no excuse. You can give yourself to other things. Diana made mistakes too, but she kept classy and devoted herself to charity rather than debauchery. She'd still be doing amazing things if she was here. I feel for Margaret, but ... she kinda did it to herself too. So did Fergie, but Margaret could have been much kinder, considering what she'd done. Ah well, we need to ahve compassion I guess.
I'm glad that Peter Townsend "dodged that bullet," and later found happiness (and children) with his second(beautiful) wife. Margaret probably would have tired of him and messed up his life...poor guy.
I believe that love passed; and Margaret was left with nothing!!! Because I don't think she ruined Peter's life since Antony didn't ruin them!! Antony has really made a leap in quality. To marry Margaret! I believe the one who was truly in love was him He even got married to his French double…
I think Margaret, if she was with Peter she wouldn't even have been drinking!! (Apart from the smoke ok) the alcohol came from her "sad" and dissatisfied life ...
There’s an important chunk missing. It skips from her wedding straight to her affair with Roddy Llewellyn.
They make it out that its tough being 2nd to the Queen, but I reckon you could argue that it would be a lot tougher being the Queen.
QUEEN ELIZABETH II, was 100% committed to Public Service, & was heavily scrutinised.
Princess Margaret, although also subjected to scrutiny & also committed to Public Service, was subject to less scrutiny & actually had a bit more choice.
In relation to Marriage sure they gave her a choice but it would be a choice where she pretty much could only give 1 answer. Ie You can marry Townsend, but if you do you will completely get cut off from the Royal Family, everything will be taken away, your allowance & Bank Account will be taken away & frozen, you will have to fund the Wedding yourself, you will not be able to be married at St James Palace, no one from the Royal Family or our Friends will attend.
Same question was probably given to Charles III, with the addition of you will never be King.Charles III should of actually been allowed to marry Camilla Rosemary Shand.
I think though & Im sure many would agree that it was great that he didnt & that he married Diana Spencer, because they had possible* 2 great Boys that grew up to be the Men they are today.
*There's some arguments against Prince Harry, even that he is not Charles biological Son. Also the type of Person he is today. I still think Prince Harry is awesome. Meghan is the problem, she has basically made anyone in her circle alienate their Family & previous Friends. She will then destroy them & then alienate them. She has done all this to Prince Harry apart from alienate him. She has also alienated everyone else in her life, such as her Family. Its also always their fault. One big problem for you Meghan, is that you are the one common denominator & its happened so many times that its absolutely mathematically impossible not to be your fault.
In regards to William, we can not get a more suitable future King.
William is confident, charismatic, principled, charming, personable, intelligent awesome, & and all round great guy.
Prince William has also married the perfect young Lady, who is intelligent, beautiful, principled, & also awesome & great
They have 3 equally as great Children that they have mostly brought up themselves.
I believe nearly everyone is very excited for William & Kate to become King & Queen.
Had Camilla married Charles all this would never of happened, so despite it being the right thing to do, its great the Royal Family made this Union an impossible choice for Charles to make.
Instead we get the unlikely union of 20yo Diana Spencer to 32 Prince Charles. They met when she was just 16. Prince Charles was dating Diana's 22yo Sister - Sarah. Who knows when Charles & Diana first started dating & what age she was when he took her virginity. All we know is this Union was very unlikely to work. Altnough thanks to it we got William & Harry. Or for some of you - just William. That surely has got to be the best thing ever!😮
Cannot believe that those ridiculous British ads are part of the video post.
Caught in a time warp 👎
She was as bad as Fergie,but at her time the press kept quiet.She drank,smoke,had affairs,plus she chose not to marry the supposed love of her life for a life of a princess.
Amen
So what wrong she has done...
Seriously, someone couldn't edit out the commercials?
Going through the archives , turns out she could have kept her title and married him receiving double the pay and Townsend would have been given a title. This was kept from the Queen and everyone.
Hi. Great upload! Do you have the one on Lester Piggott at all? The one that is uploaded on RUclips is pretty unwatchable due to poor picture quality
The announcer says this was first shown in Jan 1997. You have put it was 1999.
Why cant i download the video to watch later 🙄
Absolutely loved princess Margaret so beautiful classy glamorous and an icon my favourite royal of all time.
What do people expect when a child is brought up in such a manner?
What duty??..she was the most selfish person ever!
She was uselessness
Sorry, you didn't know her personally
Ohh I'll assume you met her and knew her personally lmaoo
We're you her best friend , or a lady jn waiting, to know this? You don't know a thing about her so why attack her? Did she do something to you?
@@katbrown1449 she was my best friend
Ok...
Women, answer me...
Truly, I want to know...who amongst you would willing , trustingly, give up your status, your RIGHT to be HRH for some man who divorced his wife and tool her children away in that ERA...
Princess Margaret made a very very wise choice♡♡♡
Itchy selfish royal, who was finally left alone after all her glorious physics had gone due to premature aging....
I'm sorry, but, first of all, what does it matter that she was 'beautiful' and secondly, who on earth thinks she's 'beautiful'?
She was more beautiful, than queen Elizabeth the 2nd
@Capricorn K - 💯 agree with you! Maybe for that time period she was considered beautiful. IMO she wasn’t.
I think she was enchantingly beautiful when she was in her twenties.
She was beautiful when she was young, but she was very short. Anyway, IMO she didn’t age well. She had a life filled with excess.
@@Carim700 I have to agree with you about that.
What about her illegitimate son MrBrown. No mention of the child she abandoned
He's too bald. Men wind up with the hairline of their maternal grandfather.
I have unfavorable opinions on royals. But much respect to them, all the privilege and splendor happiness seems to allude them. Living a life where the entire kingdoms opinions rule your life. Being told from birth your second best.
From birth neither she nor her sister were ever assumed to succeed the throne.
So what? There can't be two Queens
31:48 the evil face drop
If she didn't dye her hair she she would look like queen mary.
Love Princess Margaret and love her love for whiskey and cigs!
And for herself!
Indolent
So, did they know Edward would abdicate? Wishing for a prince and heir sounds weird since their father hadn't been thrust into the position when Margaret was born.
👑princess Margaret❤⚘
Pot calling kettle black
We seem to have gone from the honeymoon to the affair, skipping over more than a decade
She was an alcoholic
All of the hotels had gin ready for Margaret and they set her up for drinking.
Double standard. Margàret's choice of marriage to a divorcee, Peter Townsend was turned down by the queen. Charles divorce to Princess Diana & marriage to Camilla approved by the Queen.
It wasn't quite as simple as that.
@@kccox8516 No not simple at all, but also times have changed.
Not the queen’s fault. He deserted his children. She opt’d out. She would’ve shored around on him too.
She was a lush and a begged.
Thank God Roddy dumped her and had a family
Different times!!!
The Queen had given Princess Margaret a choice. The Princess chose her title and the money over marrying Townsend.
That doesn't sound like true love to me.
Poor Margaret was never happy but could not leave her royal family 😮
So sad 😢
She was not required to talk about anybody! She was dating a man 16 yes. her junior. That was an 😢 embarrassing moment!
Царство небесное Марго
Margaret = spare. Harry = Spare. They probably could have connected.
The family with no morals, yet head of kirk and state.
🤺💐
I Think She was a Corker.
Good afternoon everyone
Beauty is as beauty does. …….so you figure it out after watching,
Many people get through life on their looks but once the looks have gone they don't know what to do.
What good has she done in this world?
She supported many charities during her life as do all the royal family. Look up
Like Prince Charles Princess
Margaret was. Not allowed to
Marry who they wanted
Put harry was how come
I am sure the Queen had magan checked out the Queen should have put down her foot and said no
G-d bless the Queen keep her save and well healthy for many years
Princess Margaret rest in peace 🙏
G-d bless your children and their
Families keep them safe
She could have married Townsend any time she wanted, she didn't bcs she didn't want to lose her income and title.
There is no such word as “Life’s”. It is ‘Lives’.
MARGARET MEET HARRY.every generation of royal has a wild child that doesn't fit in to the stuffy royal rules.
King Edward 8 and Wallis, Princess Margaret and Peter. Not allowed to marry due to divorce. In 2024 we now have adulterous divorcees pretenders Tampons and Cowmilla on the throne. Worlds gone mad 😡 #buckinghampalace
Good for her 😂❤
Pot ….. kettle…… what the heck???? She’s doing same thing as Fergie!!!!!! Geez gotta love,them Royals😳😳😳
Amoral
🤺💐
Traducir al castellano por favor.
Fergie had nothing on Margaret!
Mitsubishi Galant. Mmmmmmm Chicken cooked by Gary Rodes.
I guess, had she be born male, back then, Margaret would've been the King instead of Elizabeth Queen.
Pot..... Kettle..... Black..... Auld Maggie was a good time girl with low morals..
It's ironic that Margaret is criticized for not leaving the BRF for love but Harry (another sibling of a future monarch) is criticized for doing exactly that.
@ebonyedwards-ellis8165. He is criticized for being a fatuous idiot!
👍👍👍💛🙋♀️
She did too much drugs and alcohol at Mystique. A true party princess 🎉 if she had lived a clean life maybe she would have reached a high age just as her mother and sister.
The narrative slant, and not just the narrarator, seems so primitive. How dare an individual member of our species decide for themselves what to do with their life. Princess, schmincess...😄😄🐉
EDIT: She should have just banged out a polysci degree at Oxford and settled into a nice civil servant's job. 😄🤓🙃
The documentary is inaccurate in relation to Princess Margaret’s relationship with Peter Townsend. Margaret could have married Townsend. She absolutely would not have lost her income from the civil list, in fact it would have been increased on marriage. I don’t think she would have had to give up her HRH, indeed it would have taken a change in the law to take that off her because she was an HRH by birth. The only thing she would have had to give up was her place in the line of succession, which was very much reduced as soon as the Queen started having children and that was before Elizabeth was Queen. The simple fact is that Margaret was not forced to give up the man she loved, she chose to, because her position, such as it was, was too important to her. That’s fair enough, it happens in relationships sometimes, a moment when you realise you just don’t love someone enough to give things up for them, but let’s not pretend she was some kind of tragic figure because she wasn’t. Princess Margaret’s problem, at least as far as I can see, was not being second fiddle to her sister. It was also not being overlooked, both her parents adored her, her father idolised both of his girls and referred to them as his pride and joy, Elizabeth being his pride and Margaret his joy. Margaret’s problem, I believe, as someone whose parents are no longer alive, was losing her father at a young age. She was just 22 and this man she adored was gone. I don’t think Margaret ever quite recovered from losing her father and I think she mourned him all her life, but looked for solace in the wrong places.
A drunk.
Might have been a different story if the Tennants had given her a toaster instead of plot of land.
If Meghan had been born a princess, she'd have been like Princess Margaret
Può darsi!
Awwww The Duchess lives rent-free in your little life and head.
For all her faults, Margaret was unfailingly loyal to her family and to the monarchy and was never guilty of betrayal. The American has no such respect or morals. She worships at the shrine of celebrity. She is not fit to have buffed Margaret's shoes.
