Queen Elizabeth II & Princess Margaret: The True Story Of The Royal Sisterhood | Absolute History
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 май 2020
- It has been said that no two sisters were ever less alike. One reserved and proper. The other lively and controversial. One the anchor of a commonwealth of nations. The other searching for purpose in life. Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret are among the most photographed women in history. But what of the real women beyond the royal splendour, and cheering crowds - beyond the Crown itself?

Her whole family passed away & she's still living...it's just like my family, my dad, my mom & my younger sister. I couldn't or I don't even want to imagine not having them in my life. Must've been terrible losing her younger sister & her mom in the same year. Also her dad, he was such a precious gem in her life. Ugh, death is so sad. You don't see them again.
You only see them if you believe in the Lord. Otherwise, it's all futility.
I'm pretty sure that death is not the end of our lives. I bealive that when we die we get to live with our family and friends forever because we become immortals. This gives me hope and peace❤
@@ruthaichaudohfiaise8832 no
I imagine it being so hard living in the shadow of your older sister in public. But it is evident that both sisters could have led a much different life if not for the crown.
Certainly, washing dishes and vacuuming every day
@@iTube22100 yes. A more normal life
In this documentary I got to see just how beautiful Elizabeth and Margaret were. I love their smiles the most.
She was not allowed to marry a divorce man, poor princess, it doesn't make sense when you think that the church of England came about because Henry the 8th wanted a divorce so he could marry Anne and the catholic church was against it . She went on to divorce Anthony Armstrong Jones.
She could of married him if she left her royal title
@@Sabrina-vc9yt No, she would have kept those; haven't you been paying attention? The only thing she'd have lost was the place in the royal succession, which was already a honorific by that point, even if you don't buy that it was not wanted in the first place. And let's not ignore, dude was 16 years older than her. That bugs me a lot more than him being divorced; definite breach of the half plus seven rule, he was.
@@StrikaAmaru he wasnt divorced when he met Margaret.After he and Margaret ended things he later married a 20 year old. He was 45. He sure liked younger women. I would wonder if Margaret at the end really didnt want to marry him. She was something like 21 years old. He was 15 years older with 2 children. She would lose her succession to the thrown and no longer be the young single princess.
@@StrikaAmaru The Parliament didn't want to approve giving her an allowance. Townsend himself said they could've married if she agreed to give up her royal privileges. She just couldn't give up her cushy lifestyle to live on what an ordinary man could provide for her.
She WAS allowed to marry him, but she would have lost some royal privileges. So much for "love"!
I love how England and many other countries still had king/queens/prince/princess. When I was a child, I always thought that they were all gone or they were a thing of the past or extinct. Lol.
+Khiera Moleman How old are you?
Ah yes, list of extinct things,:
-Dinosaurs
-Megafauna
-Monarchs
etc, etc.
They are not really important anymore...they gave up most of their power to government...it's just tradition now mostly....

@@victoriamaiava6379 Thank you so much!
Flexible and stable are NOT TERMS I WOULD ASCRIBE TO ELIZABETH. She totally controls the lives of the family and still holds a grudge against Edward and members of the family that dare to think for themselves.
LOL! I agree with you Rockin' Granny.
I'm an American but I am so intrigued with the elegance and traditions of the royals! So sad for Margaret
The tragic story of Princess Margaret. It makes me wonder, is this the reason why Prince Harry tried to 'Megxit' from the royal family so that he could become his own man rather than William's younger brother and avoid Margaret's fate? It's something to think about...
Also look at Andrew.
@@merricat3025 True but there has been countless of royal spare George III had a younger brother,so George IV, Edward VII and the current Queen dad George VI was a younger brother so was her grandfather George V clearly it cant be that bad being a spare.
@AK Boatmann Has it ever been proven that Andrew is the son of Elizabeth's late friend? Andrew looks a lot like Charles.
AK Boatmann He looks nothing like Porchester.
Libby Berman Lol
They are right. Losing a sibling you expected to have until old age. I have a tiny family and I always counted on my brother, who I was very close to died at 29 in 2012. It was devastating. Since I’m not married I was scary. When my mom and dad pass it’s just me. It’s my worst fear. I was married briefly but there is something about having a person you grew up with is comforting.
they have always been in your life.
The more I observe the Queen, the more I admire, respect and appreciate her dedication, discipline, strenght of character and commitment. Im a 1986 boy and wish my generation was given discipline and taught to appreciate and respect. The generation I knew had no respect for anyone or anything. A selfish, wicked society that has no real virtue has been created.
People were just as wicked back then. Just hidden in propriety.
This was so enjoyable and well made! Loved it thoroughly! ❤
Elizabeth is pride BUT Margaret was joy ❤️
I always felt Margaret was spoiled and self absorbed. I thinknif she could have, she'd have taken the crown. I feel like she constantly struggled with jealousy. She wanted the world stage. When Netflix's The Crown, started the Margaret storyline, I stopped watching. Couldn't stand even hearing about her, nevermind watching.
*AND. It was never a but, it was always and.
This was very well made and interesting to watch.
Both sisters are gorgeous!
Hi
@@edisonbrown3636 hi
Margret was so beautiful 💕
So was Elizabeth.
@@travelseatsyellowlab you mean " So is Elisabeth "
She is still alive.
@@kaydeereed5748 This clearly references a period when the Windsor girls were younger, and thus both alive.
@@travelseatsyellowlab Prince Margaret was more Beautiful than Queen
@@vivianebeget To me, they looked mostly identical, could've easily been twins.
Who else just watched this to compare it to The Crown???
🙋
All these Royal Documentaries are soooo dramatic and cheesy. The music and the way they frame things is just hilarious.
WATCHING this gives me more knowledge to understand the crown, love that show
Me to
@@maudreygarraway2642 x
Twice divorced, unheard of ??? Hello, Henry VIII lol
@@teohchoonim4927 q
Oh ur one of the "Drink the kool Aid" type. Sad, so sad lol
Margot is an example of a little girl who grew up with no boundaries & little expectation.
Very sickening that one family can decide they're superior to the rest of the world. Disgusting
But they didn't??
36:18 I remember coming home from kindergarten to find that our basement had flooded...went in to tell my mom and she was watching Margaret's wedding. Storm sewers had backed up all along our street. A day to remember.
She looks totally ecstatic beside Phillip. Her face just glows with joy.
So funny how many people wish they would skip over Charles and go to William the more sensible one, just like Elizabeth's dad and uncle. Charles is considered a joke and a flop after his treatment of Diana. It's also ironic how Margret and Harry were the second child and both cheeky and fun, although Harry has lost it.
That's what will happen
Yes, I think that too. I think things need to calm down to a nice purr. H & M need to be droped like a hot potato & have things restored in the world market.
The only people who have a problem with Meghan are the British.
@@emilypresleysee not true
@@trishbaum6364 okay. Whatever you say.
Not "allowing" Margaret & Peter to marry was most disturbing and unforgivable imo
But she could marry him. She didn't want to lose her royal status
@@ariannasnsd6282
I was referring to the original negative reaction and subsequent stalling campaigns to sway her from the idea. In the end they knew her weakness for wealth & prestige
too many ads! it’s beyond aggravating
I understand having to make money but 11 ads in a 45 minute video?
Skip to the end and press replay.
The amount of ads in this video is atrocious. I get you want to make money but going a bit overboard. Great video tho.
start using Foxfire as your browser. They have an "commercial free" option that will take them away for good!
The Archbishop of Canterbury seemed to call the shots for the better part of 3 decades.
Margaret’s story is so excruciatingly sad. I’m glad it’s getting more attention thanks to The Crown. People so often think that being a royal means you have nothing to worry about, but being under public scrutiny and having everything you say or do be subject to criticism by literally anyone, along with the influence your words or actions can and will have on the image of your monarchy and country, definitely isn’t a cakewalk.
i love these videos thank you!!
The Queen in one word is grace . She took to her responsibility and lives as Queen !
I question why the English monarchy still adheres to a ridiculously snobbish & antiquated law made over three hundred years ago. They're adults for christ's sake. Let them marry who they damned well please. Can't say that I blame Harry & Megan for getting out.
I could be in the minority but I find Elizabeth was always the more (physically) attractive of the two. Margaret May have dressed better but I find Elizabeth’s smile and facial features less sharp and much more pleasant.
I agree with you, and Queen Elizabeth aged much better than her sister. I am sure that is in great part to the Princess smoked heavily and drank to excess.
Robyn Guest very much so. Elizabeth never took up the habit because she saw how her fathers’ health had deteriorated during his reign. I’d take corgis over booze and smokes any day.
Wonderful
I love how everyone was acting like Margaret die so young. Are you kinding me 76 is a long to extremely long life span. Longer then most people. The qeen liveing to 94 is a flock
@Joe J. 72 isnt young though
@Blake 500 The average worldwide life expectancy is 71 years; 70 for men, 72 for women. Margaret died at an old age. 75 and up is quite old. Even with people living into their 80s and 90s, most people will not reach that age and among those who do, they won't do so without chronic, progressing, debilitating conditions.
@@merricat3025 Most people live into their mid-late 80's these days because they take care of their health, diet and exercise. 72 is still young in comparison how long people live these days; some well into their 90's !
@@travelseatsyellowlab Where are you from? Some third-world-country or what? In North America, Canada/USA people live way into their late 80's/early 90's because they take care of their health, eat right, exercise etc. Look up the facts. I certainly would not want to live where you LIVE. It must be the UK or some European country.
@@merricat3025 How old are you MERRI CAT? I hope you live long enough to see your 69th birthday!
princesa margaret was beautiful . kisses from América
i been seeing documentals all day and it isnt a litle ironic that the church of ingland dosnt recognice divorce? (28:30)
I think its because they are supposed to be almost godly, flawless, people to look up to and divorce shows weakness and conflict in the eyes of the church.
Actually he an annulment
The Catholic church also expects women to disown their previous children if they wish to he remarried in a Catholic church. My sister in law is married to a Catholic guy and refuses to do that even though he really wants to get recognized as married by the Catholic church. Fact of the matter is religion and state are separate. They're legally married regardless of the bs religious stuff.
RockyPotato15 ...thats horrible
Really it is lol
Princess margaret was beautiful
Makeup will do that.
@@gayled3059 not true
Agreed
Shameless amount of commercial interruptions.
I am so sorry for your great loss ✨💖✨
The picture at 1:14 says it all.
LOL
What a great love it had to be, that made a monarch give up his throne for that. I literally admire Wallis and Edward's love for each other.
Check out the video on Edward and Wallis made by this channel. Even I admired their love until I saw that video.
People starving while walk around with money and gold all money comes from more people what world we live in.
Great documentary. Just too bad we had to watch a Hershey's chocolate bar commercial between bits of George VI's death 😒
No importa en que seno Nazca uno, es la actitud , carácter y la disposición.
This "theirstory" has made me to love and admire the Queen more, and feel sorry for Princess Magaret.
In the 1990s, Princess Margaret spent a lot of summers in one of my cousin’s yacht at the Turkish Aegean coast.
That Wallis Simpson must have been something very special for King David to abdicate his throne.
It was simply “love”
Obsession more like it
I believe it’s not as simple as that. He never wanted to be king, he wanted to marry Wallis and then his support of Nazism all came together to lead to his abdication.
Now there’s going to be a documentary about how prince harry and Meghan Markle left in 20 or so years
I didn’t know she was the head of the royal ballet. My ballet teacher danced as a soloist throughout the 60s and 70s I wonder if they ever met 🤔
Wait the old lady knows how to shoot. That's crazy i can't imagine her hurting a fly.
@Mad Machanicest Oh yeah, you need to keep your head down, when Lizzy has a gun and shooting for 'ducks' !!
If you try to invade Britain, she'll be armed and on the front lines!
In the first twenty seconds, you described the wrong sisters.
I was today years old when i found out Prince Phillip is 100.
Well...
@@marionarda2790 ik he died
Bien merecida su posición como reina,se lo ha ganado,buena mujer respetuosa que supo honrar a sus padres y mantenerse firme . Sí se puede,hoy ha llegado hasta hoy cumpliendo con la misión encomendada.
Elizabeth is my pride and Margaret is my joy
They are both beautiful.
Cool i did not know the great old lady had a sister. Wonder what she thinks of here sister now after so many yaers.
She misses her sister terribly, now. She said that losing her mother and her sister was her worst nightmare, after her father passed away. So her worst nightmare had come true. I obviously can not speak for Her Majesty, the Queen, but I believe she misses her sister very much now.
Note that when elder one got out frm the car she held her sister and also didn't walk ahead the parents !
0:31 what is this man wearing 😂
Wow, how I hadn't realized, I love it
He be dressed like a filthy rich heroin addict.
He looks like Fred Armisen doing an SNL bit 🤣
He's a dandy.
Dorian Gray 😂
I think it would be hard being the spare because you have a duty to the crown but you will never be the monarch. And as the monarch has children and they have children you gets pushed down the line of succession.
William and Harry.....
I enjoyed the Story but there were soooooo many ads!
Get an ad blocker.
When the video starts, drag the red time marker to the end and let the suggested videos pop into the screen. One it's done, tap the restart button on the video screen. Voila, no more ads!!

Poor Margaret
No wonder she likes wizer castle so much.
Windsor Castle, love.
Margret's wedding was not the first royal marriage televised. Her sister's was.
No. Elizabeth’s coronation was televised
Not her wedding.
20:00 princess margaret’s waist 😱
hidden corset! didnt we go over the dangers of corsets!
Post-war Europe.
Rations.
Not much food.
Most people were thin!
Most people had active lifestyles that weren't filled with processed food so their diet was potentially healthier. Plus they had an image to maintain. Only guys can get away with being fat royalty
kind of late but i’m certain she’s wearing a corset
@@Firepaw20011 What about Elizabeth’s mother?
I have the world's sympathy for Margaret. She must've felt so hurt and betrayed
Colin Firth looks nothing like King George VI.
Too many ads!
🥺❤️
It's easy for people on one hand to shake their heads at the fact that the royal family had and has more money than they know what to do with and live a very lavish lifestyle. But then there's the other side where Queen Elizabeth's entire life was mapped out for her, and so she really had no choice. But I feel badly for Margaret whom forever had to live in Queen Elizabeth's shadow. Looking at this, I am glad that I have a normal life. It's not glamorous, but it's mine. I have an ordinary job in a nursing home which I really like, and I live a simple life which I'm content with. I would hate to have to endure being told what to do, how to talk, walk, dress, interact with the public and family, etc. I don't have to live by those types of rules. However I have always had an interest in the royal family.

I used to think that Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret are twins, they have the same face.. :)
And she was never happy after.
Tena Nicholls was Ralph Nicholls child
13:38 What about those pictures of Elizabeth and her mother giving the nazi salute?
She should ran away like harry but the money holds them.
I admire The Queen, tremendously. She doesn’t have the ability to be less than perfect. Margot could be a very selfish young woman, requiring men who had to work in the morning, escort her to clubs till dawn, none had the nerve to say no. She was raised to be a very spoiled person & I think she suffered greatly as a result when she married a man who wouldn’t put up with her nor consider her feelings much. All in all the Queen Witt duties & discipline has been much happier than her catered to sister.
They are the female version of Princes William and Harry. The Queen early on, very conscientious and responsible. Princess Margaret, gay and frivolous. Very much like William and Harry...
I always find the British hypocrisy amusing. Here was a church stripped from its traditional loyalty to Rome because the King couldn't get the Pope (a hostage to the Habsburgs) to grant him an annulment from a woman, related to the Habsburg. So, this King (defensor fidei granted by the Pope) creates a new church that grants him a divorce. Then that church based on divorce, does not recognize divorce? Demonstrates that Henry really just wanted to steal church land as a prime aim and the divorce issue was just a sideline. Both all the fuss with Edward and Margaret about marrying divorced people should make one smile about churches and their attempt to establish political control.
@Erich Stocker EdwardVIII wanted to marry Wallis Simpson. She just wanted to be his mistress, as she was married to Simpson & loved him. Her previous husband was also still alive (ie two living husbands) which for CoE was too many. EdwardVIII threatened suicide if she didn't marry him. She divorced Simpson, who in turn married her best friend; so Wallis finally married EdwardVIII, they married & moved to France where they lived 'til both died. He adored her to his last breath. But some feel that he made a bad decision - should have been crowned, then as king & head of the church married Wallis & made her his queen. I don't know how the succession would have worked as they never had any children. Neither of them could. He loved her to his last breath. So possibly ElizabethII would have come to the throne in 1972 (?) on the death of EdwardVIII ?
How history would have changed! That's 48/49? years back! Prince Charles would have turned 24 that year (1972).
So much about George the *Sickth,* who died on February *Sickth* because, well, he was *Sickth.*
BBC-RP, Pirate English: _one, two, three, four, five, _*_sick_*
정말 여자가 참전한다는건 대단한거임
타이어도 갈고..보닛도 수리하고 대박..
Im not scared but its really cool tho
Luckily Elizabeth was the eldest
I wonder why they weren't educated similarly. Just in case history repeated itself and Elizabeth say- fell in love with Mickey Rooney or something? 😅 Poor spares...
Mickey Rooney! 😂
Hahaha. I agree. I never understood the lack of education for the spare. George the 5th was a spare (his brother Eddy died) he should have known better than to trust fate. Same with his son!
What if Elizabeth had died suddenly? Margaret would have made a terrible queen, only because she would have been woefully unprepared.
Until the heir has heirs of their own, the spare should be educated. Yet, they made the same mistake with the princes. Now look at them!
Hi
I don't actually think that Margaret as a girl was that attractive. She as just a normal girl. In fact, I feel as children, they were very much alike. Their main difference was that their facial shapes are a bit different. Elizabeth's smile is more genuine. Margaret always looks more plastic.
Hi
7:18 Did he just say "loose"? who the fuck is he to say that to a woman? Even though Wallis Simpson was a divorcee she's still a human being with the same rights as everyone. Ugh seriously ANNOYING
I believe he is saying that’s the way she was viewed at the time.
The intro to this sounds just like princes William and Harry!
Such Drama- what would Margarets future hold? Same as before
Lively is not the opposite of reserved -_- .
21 was not early to get married back then, it was a normal age
The would be queen had graced responsibility while the younger one enjoyed the grace of royalty but without responsibility . When the king left the throne Marg knew frm the start that she can get away with anything nn,,respbosibility
It seems like Prince Harry and Princess Margaret have somethings in common. Harry had the courage to leave and marry the woman he loves.❤🇺🇸
Hi
(42:05) ...BOO! ...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss margaret very much
Hi
Three years they were still writing 21 back then you were old woman
Charles is a Weasley winey jerk. He still is. I couldn't care less what he has to say. I would, on the other hand, like to hear from Queen Elizabeth. I hope she has an autobiography of sorts that she's been working on.
sorry my mistake
