The dear Queen just 7 weeks later buried her mother. 😢

Now they are all gone. The Monarchy was strong then. Three strong women held it together. Not letting the public know too much about their personal lives, like it is now. Which I don’t think was a bad thing. Oh well one must move on. Don’t complain, don’t explain. Just think we had another 20 years of our beloved Queen who held it all together. RIP all together now at Windsor Castle. ❤

The queen lost her beloved sister, her best confidant, a great supporter. She was devastated...

[@barryjacobs8524]

She was cremated because there wasn’t room for her for when the Queen Mother, and the Queen died. She is next to her Dad.😢I have never seen this footage before. Very sad.❤

What a shame that Princess Margaret didn’t marry Group Captain Townsend. She was so in love with him and he loved her. Her love life was briefly happy at the beginning of her marriage to Anthony Armstrong Jones-The Earl of Snowden. After the divorce, it seemed like the Princess just wanted to be in the company of people who accepted her as she was. Poor dear-may she rest in peace.😢😢

Historical footage at its finest. RIP 🕊️

Margaret was so beautiful. I know her sister hated to lose her & she was so young. Wish she’d never got mixed up with the photographer. How different her life would have been if she’d been allowed to marry the man she loved. Snowden was a bisexual who slept w everyone he could. He was a real mess! Mustique ruined her life. Drinking, drugs & and hedonistic lifestyle helped her “escape” but eventually killed her. No wonder her son got rid of her house once she gave it to him.

Just lovely how The Queen supported her nephew and niece ❤

The Maroon Rolls-Royce Lady Sarah and Lord Linley got into after Her Majesty The Queen had left, had been their Late Mother's H.R.H. Princess Margaret's Personal Automobile given to her by H.M.. The Queen at some point. Apparently Margaret even drove it herself sometimes when she was younger. I believe it was the Silver Shadow Model.😢🙏🙏🙏🙏

God blessed the Queen Elizabeth 👀👑🌟

Thank you for posting this, it's so very interesting. One thing I can't get over is the noise from the jet planes overhead. It's no wonder the King said he doesn't want to live at Windsor. It's so sad to think that the Queen lost her sister and her mother within weeks of each other.

Margaret wasnt allowed to have her boy toys anymore. She drank and smoked herself to death. The injury to her foot when she burned herself in hot water was an injury she didnt recover from. Her mother drank a lot too but wasn't as bitter. Living alone for decades and not having any real purpose wasnt healthy.

Looking at P Philip & Q Elizabeth arrive….tho I know it’s been over a year since she passed….it’s still difficult to truly believe she is really gone….never coming back…. she just …belongs…..

[@tammyembery5763]

Over twenty years ago. Still sad.

[@KingMossesII]

The Fact she lost her younger sister and The Queen Mother lost her younger daughter then six weeks later The Queen Mother died The Queen lost her mother now it was just her lost the family she grew up with
