It was the possession of status that replaced what she had thought she loved. It was a decision. When you choose wrongly for your life out of wrong intentions you can’t hide from that. We can lie to ourselves, but it always shows up somewhere. Behaviour, illnesses, the choices we make and the beliefs we hold are all shaped by the after effects of human interactions. I feel badly for Margaret, that she had a textbook downward spiral.

Also, there is this: Usually we expect that someone who WASN'T LOVED would descend into the life and decline that she did. But she WAS loved; by her father, The King, her mother, her sister, The Queen, by the country. She was loved. So lack of love was not the problem. Margaret was the problem. She was hell-bent on self-destruction, and who knows why? All we know is that SHE DID self-destruct. A life of privilege, of opportunity, of great love and potential, was wasted. That's it. It's not complicated. She was selfish, SPOILED, narcissistic. How else could her life end?

We can clearly see in this case the terrible damage of not setting limits since childhood, even more when you see the girl had a troublesome personality. She was a spoiled little monster who was allowed to mistreat everyone she believed to be “below” herself. She was already a tyrant when she was only a teenager. Neither her parents nor her sister, nor anybody else put limits to her nasty and whimsical behaviour, so then she couldn’t put any limits on herself whatsoever. Being second, third, fourth or whatever born is not a disgrace. It happens in almost any family. We must all find our purpose in life and devote it to something meaningful, but she was quite superficial and shallow, so she couldn’t find other purpose than parties and a life full of excess.

Total nonsense Mona. The British royal family [CROWN] own one-sixth of the landmass of the entire world. The Royal family is estimated to be worth well over 30 trillion pounds and perhaps as high as 50 trillion. The people fund absolutely nothing. Taxes are paid for two principal reasons. Rent to the CROWN for the land they reside on, as th people do not actually own the land, unless the land is Fee Simple. Secondly, the people are held as surety for the debt of the Government. The Government has placed the people into bondage, commercial liens have been placed against the people and their labor has been contacted to the International Banking Cartel as surety for the debt. It is on this basis the Government can borrow capital funds aka commonly known as 'money' Which it is not anything other than 'Debt Instruments' It is a type of IOU. In return, the International bankers permit some of the collected ' income Taxes' to be used for Public services, such as health, Roads, Transport .. etc.. When the service has the word PUBLIC in front of it, then it is paid for entirely out of Tax Payers forced contribution. Unfortunately, the greater majority of people have never be told how the system operates, thus allowing for government double-dipping and making the people pay for something that has already been prepaid from their taxes. The people essentially being bonded slaves do not need to know what does not concern them. Should the masses of people discover the truth, there will be a revolution within a day.

Revelation 17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be amazed when they see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. Revelation 17:9 "This calls for a mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the WoMan is seated; also, they are seven kings, Revelation 17:10 of whom five have fallen, one is living, and the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain only a little while. Revelation 17:11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. Revelation 17:13 These are united in yielding their power and authority to the beast; Revelation 17:14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful." And it so on..... Read the BOOK of Revelations, even Muslims agree with it Prophecies in Islam are identical, thus verifying what is TRUE. Revelation 13:11 [SPEAKS OF THE DAJJAL - in arabic] [ANTICHRIST in English] Then I saw another beast that rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

After that she didn't even bother trying because my guess is she thinks is too late. Did this person ever take care of anything else other than her desire? Didn't she have kids?

He sadly didn’t enjoy his title for long succumbing to pancreatic cancer later that same year.

[@MsVanorak]

i just went and looked at reviews/synopsis on this documentary and it seems this is an edited version. It was developed from an autobiographical book which included a strong suggestion that after Townsend she had a 'relationship' with an American woman, Sharman Douglas who was a talent scout/recruiter for models/film industry - so she had the contacts therefore to populate the 'popsie parties'. Prince Andrew/Epstein nothing new to them therefore - just a way of life! Lord Glemcommer had the famous 'Peacock Party' on Mustique in 1986 which included the screening of porn films. Sharman Douglas was linked to Mountbatten's son for a while and old man Mountbatten was well known for his porn collection! Somehow, through marriage, Douglas was connected to Raine, Princess Diana's stepmother - so that explains a lot to me about Diana's later emotional difficulties. John Binden - famous for his large 'doodah' was a Richardson (south of the River) as was the set up hero in the fake kidnapping of Princess Ann. That sold some newspapers! They have been friends for a long time to have control of what gets into the public domain and what doesn't. I don't think Maxwell's backstory about being the only survivor of his family from the Holocaust is true - how very convenient that no one could confirm or deny - I think he was American/English - the origins of WW2. He was connected to M.I. services. Thugs in tiaras! Socialize with them - run a mile - well done Alan Bates!

The famous 'sacrifice' sold a lot of papers also "mindful of the church's teaching". ..... Didn't Snowden have a twenty five year affair with a journalist. 👠.

She could do as she pleased without losing her status, losing her homes, losing her kids . . . etc. They called her "grand" and "very royal". = Entitled.

[@melissadunn4996]

I'm curious with all the lovers and her travels, how much time was she spending with her children? Seems as though she put her own selfish needs before her children.

[@lesliegmn3927]

@Melissa Dunn It’s not uncommon for royal children to be largely raised by nannies, but Margaret REALLY left her two kids to the hired help. Even with all her responsibilities, Queen Liz breastfed her four children, and spent more time with them than her sister did with her two.

[@lesliegmn3927]

@Anne MacLeod True that. However, my nana (of blessed memory) was a tremendous Anglophile who seemed to have radar about which royal appeared to be spending more time sipping daiquiris on Mustique than remembering their offsprings’ names. I can only imagine what she’d make of Prince Andrew’s former friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Nana worried because Andrew was so obviously the Queen’s favorite, and she frowned over his relationship with actress Koo Stark. “There’ll be tears,” she predicted ominously.

Sadly, your mental health doesn’t care about all the nice things you have, how spoiled you are, how “fun” your life appears to others. That’s usually when you’re at your worst, when most would think you’re at your best or close to it.

The only reason why she changed was because she was probably hurting inside feeling betrayed by her husband's cheating. And Margaret seeked the wrong way to get attention, it must've been hard being second best to her sister the queen.

Exactly what i was thinking when they said that. I served her once during an interval at the Haymarket Theatre Royal and she drunk 3 whiskies in 20 minutes. Did not even look at me once each time I served her or even said a word. Just handed me her empty glass and other people ordered for her. This was in 1997. As it is a royal theatre there were photos of the queen here and there. And she was served in the Royal Room.

They will suddenly realize who the true royalty is!
