Her story was as sad as Diana’s in my opinion. She was mistreated and misunderstood. They made her choose between her love and title, a decision that she regretted for the rest of her life. Not to mention that she was butchered by the press as well. And then she died at a hospital at 71, crippled and half-blind as a result of strokes. Her life was truly a tragedy. 🥀

[@keivanfarzanehkari8045]

@@katewilliams4013That was an unnecessarily long response, which basically shows that you are perhaps a person with no purpose in her life, and a lot of time on her hands apparently, which makes you write five paragraphs in response to a simple piece of opinion which wasn’t even directed at you. That’s sad! You talk about the freedom of press and speech, yet here you are, lecturing me about how I should think or speak. Not to mention that you don’t even know me. For your information, I just don’t watch TV series. I have read books about these people. They all had flaws and were imperfect (Diana and Margaret included), yet being a royal doesn’t make you immune to misery and sadness. Plus, as a person who claims has read books about these people, you should have known that Diana never married Dodi Fayed, the guy whom you referred to by his race/ethnicity rather than his name. I have sympathized with many people throughout my life and I continue to do so no matter what their background is. So next time, think twice before passing any judgements about other people, especially those whom you don’t know.

@d 2020 . You have misspoken. Princess Margaret most certainly was allowed to marry Peter Townsend . She had to make a choice though, marry and give up the royal life or not marry and remain royal with all of the perks. She made her choice.

[@susanmetz9892]

@d 2020 . The royal family most certainly did not kill Margaret's spirit or body. Margaret, herself made the decision to give up love . She had a choice and her decision was to stay royal and enjoy all of the money and perks. Additionally, nobody forced Margaret to destroy her body. She chose to smoke and drink heavily. She was an adult. You really can't blame others for her behavior.

I love the corgi at the beginning like “I’m just happy to be here and be involved”

[@dearbhailcassidy9271]

Helenas portrayal really grew on me in season 4. It really reminded me of Vanessa Kirbys Margaret

[@royalnewscircle]

This sister duo is so entertaining.

[@l9898_]

I could watch her and Olivia all day long! They are amazing

[@kellymccarthy5656]

She was encapsulating in this role! Not in Decades,has anyone else been perfectly suited for a character.

[@athenstar10]

Margaret presses the button. Elizabeth: What are you doing that's my button! ....... Elizabeth: Perhaps we're not very friendly. Margaret: What are you talking about, I- I was incredibly friendly.... 😂😂😂 so cute.

[@declanwalton2783]

3:26 😂😂😂😂😂😂 legit me at every family gathering

[@nocchi.9589]

1:42 this part scared me so much lol i had flashbacks to the first season

[@bboo1688]

I love Helena Bonham Carter. Love the show really got to showcase her acting chops. But please ppl. Dont act like Princess Margret and Peter Townsend were two star crossed lovers. He was 16 years older than she was. When he proposed she was only 22 (making him 36). And he worked for her dad when she was 13. I dont know where you are from but where im at its called grooming (Allgedly, allegedly they hooked up when she was just 17). He ended up at 45 marrying a 20 yo. Hes not her greatest love; he is a predator. Can we please make that super clear?

[@Zanderthegrape]

Ultimate gay icon. She is a Queen in our eyes that’s for sure!

[@HuyPham-mv1ou]

You forgot that time when Margaret used the Queen's bell button.

[@taptaptaps]

What episode was it?

[@marcosfernandes7324]

It's at 6:57

[@Pyro4Lyfe]

Haha I loved that part!

[@kurtworth4881]

I loved the Olivia’s response “you’ve made it this far” I still die when watching it

[@musicmancody21]

They should do a spin off series with her!!!! Just about this era of Margaret's life

[@tomasprochazka2739]

its a criminal offense she has no emmy or golden globe for this

[@Avidcomp]

Best moment - when The Queen tells Wilson "You've made it this far".

[@hera7884]

“I don’t want more time.... Don’t you see?..... Time, It scares me, it fills me with dread... I want something, to fit in with.”

[@CamGlamorous]

“Friend of Dorothy” 😂

[@jamesthewineguy]

07:09 love when Princess Margaret is dancing to Bowie's Red Shoes---absolutely fabulous!

[@tmobiletemp9832]

The queen mother and the queen are 2 incompassionate I have ever heard of. If only Margaret had Married Townsend she would have lived a happy life

[@elijahcaldona7690]

I kinda missed Tony Armstrong Jones in Season 4

[@lachlankeddie7]

"He's... You know... A friend of Dorothy" "Wha... DAZZLE?!" Margaret, his nickname is Dazzle, like, come on how is it not obvious! 😅

[@richardgodber8369]

She visited the small mining town I grew up in , in Australia in 1973. She was pissed the whole time she was there ... drank the bar dry in her hotel suite , woke my Father up at 2am so he could open the local liquor store open ... needless to say , she was late that morning and wore sunglasses all day lol

[@richardgodber8369]

@d 2020 oh I wasn’t criticising her . She was a real character unlike the others

[@richardgodber8369]

@d 2020 never been a fan of the modern Windsors... I love history tho and find the real people like Queen Victoria ,Princess Diana etc far easier to identify with ...

[@taun96]

For me, the episode with those mentally challenged cousins was really something else. Very well written and absolutely horrifying

[@moramento22]

I love how they established her as a kind of auntie figure in the family. Auntie Margaret, you know that kind of funny, likes to drink and smoke, everybody has someone like that in their family. Helena Bonham Carter fitted that role immensely.

[@confuzedpenguin9974]

....just realised I'm that one in the family 😆

[@penmerch2804]

5:15 "You were holding yours as if it were a bomb" LOL!

[@ayeyiasamoah-manu6207]

2:38 is a cinematic masterpiece

[@Chartail1]

People don't realise that being a royal is not freedom, its not all fub and living in wealth. It can be lonely , controlling, depressing and unfulling. And this is for all royals or at least most of them around the world. Loved Helenas portrayal.

[@zacharyjones8400]

People forget it’s a job and not just a regular job you leave from its 24/7. Everything you say, do, wear, eat etc. is being watched.
