    She lived her life on her own terms. She knew full well the risks of continuing her lifestyle but she did what she wanted. So it was a life well-lived.

    my granny (R.I.P) had a stroke, a bad one which left her wheel chair bound for the last four years of her life, but at least she is at peace now. I personally think that these stroke scenes are incredibly well acted and heart breaking, A stroke is not something I would wish on anyone

      People, today, have a hard time wrapping their head around how prevalent - and commonplace - smoking was a relatively short time ago; it was basically encouraged. Movie theatres, Grocery stores, even Doctor's office's had ashtrays at disposal; every vehicle had ashtrays in the front AND back seats. Princess Margaret like her father, and grandfather, smoked up to 120 cigarettes a day - that's SIX packs!

    It appears that one contributing factor to the severity of Princess Margaret's diminished health was that, after the initial scalding in her shower, she resisted all pleas to notify the Queen and Queen Mother of what had happened for X amount of time. Why do I believe that she did that despite her health being so compromised? I think it's likely (at least in part) due to Princess Margaret knowing that as soon as she returned to London, she'd not only never return to her REAL home of Mustique (the one place she believed she could be as independent as possible) but that she'd be living under the same roof as the Queen Mother and under the Queen Mother's very roof at Clarence House and that would be the complete end of her autonomy. Alas,it seems her fears were realized (and the Queen Mother didn't so much as have air conditioning installed to help her stricken daughter be more comfortable- even during what would be Great Britain's worst heat wave at the point).

      @@priscillajimenez27what they mean is lots of sauces, very elaborate party food, lots of desserts, cakes, hors d'oeuvres, all that kind of nonsense they eat at banquets. Having said that, I think the Queen's diet was fairly healthy. Don't forget they eat the best wild caught salmon and kilpers from Scotland and have all that grass-fed game, all the best meats and chickens... the best eggs and so on.... have all organic vegetables and the best of everything. All hand picked for them. I think with Margaret it was more the drinking and smoking and prescription drugs that killed her. The queen mother too, was a total alcoholic. King Charles is known for his love of organic produce and eats extrenely healthiky but I do suspect that he likes a drink or three and so does Camilla. They all seem to drink a lot because it's just so available to them. And they are all such lushes. It's quite sad really.

    My grandfather lived pretty hard as well, and suffered a stroke that paralyzed the whole left side of his body when I was just five.

      Margot treated HERSELF badly. Stop blaming the others. The queen loved her and treated her well. She just wasn't allowed to let her marry whom she wanted because it wasn't permitted by parliament at the time. It wasn't the Queen's fault. Margaret had every privilege known to humankind thrust at her feet since she was a child and yet even with all that, she was never happy, always wanting more. Having affairs, being a snob, being difficult, a nightmare for all who dealt with her. Similar to her ginger-haired great nephew, Harry. She had a loving father and mother, and a close knit family unit. For the day, she had it good. And still.... she an alcoholic, never happy, picking the wrong men, dating men half her age, or marrying bisexuals, and so on and on and on. So many people had really tragic hard lives and were still grateful and made the best of it. Yet Margaret despite the wealth and privilege complained constantly. She was a really shallow person.

      @@lapislazuli7876 "Margaret had every privilege known to humankind thrust at her feet since she was a child and yet even with all that, she was never happy, always wanting more" Material and privilege do not necessarily make one happy. It is well understood that personal relationships are one of the key defining points of people who feel fulfilled. The behavior you describe more than likely results as a coping mechanism. "Filling the void" some would say. This is a very common occurrence we can see repeated to those born into abundance, but forced to live very regimented, formal lives.

      That has always been a problem for royalty. In the past, youngest children who had no chance of inheriting any power were trained & sent off to a life of priesthood (or into a nunnery in case of girls who couldn't obtain suitable husbands), but the Protestant Reformation & Enlightenment stripped that option too. So spares would often end up living a hedonistic life full of debauchery.

Smoking definitely ruined her beuty and l did read somewere she often smoked 2-3 packs a Day . But it was princess Margarets BAD case of alcholism and extravagent life style with little to jo excercise that out the nails in her coffin in truth its amazing she lived to be 70! Princess margret would start drinking and smoking the first moment she opened her eyes in the morning. She would have a MOSTLY liqid breakfast with freash fruit would smoke roughly a pack of cigarettes read the morning papers then by 11:00 am would get up and get eashed and dressed for the day were she would have numberouse engaments and luncons and dinners were she would he srinking abd smoking then get back home to uer apartments in Kensington palace at about 3-4 am .z
