Marguerite Alibert, a woman who the British royal family did not dare to offend. There were not many women who could personally shoot their husbands, and she did.
Margaret's personality is split, she has a gentle side, an indifferent side, and more of a scheming side. From the top card of the brothel all the way to be favored, to be promoted, to be the mistress of the royal family, all the way to the princess.
After three gunshots from her husband, she became a proper murderer.
However, her charm lies in the fact that she is not afraid. She knew she couldn't run, so she didn't plan to run. She knew that behind her there was a British prince who could protect her.
01
Margaret was born in Paris in 1890 to a poor family. Both my father and mother were handymen.
Such a family did not give her a stable living environment, but gave her the fighting spirit to get ahead. She was not content to be a poor person, so she would run to the city herself and do what she wanted.
She went to apply for school on her own, and she would take the initiative to go into the horse farm, library, theater to do some work for people, and by the way, she also played by herself, and came into contact with many high-class people.
Her parents also expected her to study and develop well, become a good girl, and of course eventually marry a rich man who was responsible for her. In this way, with the support and affirmation of her parents, she is willing to work hard herself and is all the way up.
However, it was in this rhythm that something suddenly went wrong. She had a 4-year-old brother who was suddenly killed by a car while playing.
The depressed parents blamed Margaret for neglecting to lead the way and letting her brother have an accident. Thus she was sent to the monastery.
What is this place? A place of repentance and practice. People who make mistakes and those who are wrong practice here. The environment is chaotic, and the older people beat people into sex.
For a child who grew up in an open environment and learned culture, Margaret couldn't stand this at all, and she fled.
She then met a man who, before she was 16 years old, gave birth to a baby girl. However, since the birth of the child, I have never seen this man again.
Originally, he went to practice with sin, but instead of escaping, he also gave birth to a wild seed. Margaret's parents couldn't accept her at all.
At that time in the 19th century, women in Britain did not get a job in society at random. Margaret was confused.

After all, having temperament and knowledge is useful. Even in the bottom society, even in the wind and moon place. One of Margaret's performances allowed a female demon at a brothel to discover her.
The head of the brothel, named Mrs. Nath, thought Margaret had the potential to enter high society to do things for her, and after a short period of training and packaging, Margaret became a high-class prostitute.
Go and participate in some of the rich aristocrats' parties, dinners, etc.
Beautiful in appearance, noble in temperament, good in speech and demeanor, Margaret's popularity is not unexpected, and even attracts people including the royal family.
Not long after, Margaret was summoned by Prince Edward of England to play the role of a teacher, that is, to teach Prince Edward, who was about to enter marriage, how to do things between men and women, and to impart some experience.
Man is a stone, emotional animals are alive, and Margaret has a heart and will never miss such a good opportunity. Fell in love with Prince Edward.
If there is only the kiss of the skin, who knows that the temperament is charming, the prince is fascinated, and he can't stop.
It was this relationship that left a pretext for Margaret in the future. Because Prince Edward was happy to tell Margaret many of the royal secrets.
And these secrets can only be kept and cannot be made public.
These letters are not Margaret's amorous secrets and nostalgia, but the best proof of her use of the Prince's card. She knew she would use it.

Bidding farewell to the relationship and Prince Edward, Margaret continued to be active in the social circles of the nobility. Her heart was filled with drunken fans. Spending men's money and doing what should be done. Of course, she also occasionally feels tired and tired.
At the age of 32, Margaret came to Egypt at a leisurely pace, where she attended a fun party. Soon a handsome man was conquered by her.
Margaret is more interested in the man's identity than the man's courtship signal. It turned out that the man, Ali Kamel Fahmy Bey, was an Egyptian prince.
Marriage proposals are also fast, and promises are also fast. It didn't take long for Margaret to come to Egypt with the prince.
Unexpectedly, however, Fahmi took Margaret to a pitch-black world, as dark as the monastery of the year.
She was required to sign a prenuptial agreement not to divide property, to convert her to Islam, to dress as an Islamic woman to cover her hair and face, and to marry several wives in accordance with national customs.
And, the most damning thing is that she has no right to choose divorce.
That's enough, and how can Margaret, who has always admired freedom, stand it? She has no nostalgia for this marriage, just waiting for a chance to get out.
Then there's the scene that happens at the beginning, where the gun goes down. However, this was 300 days later, when her husband was persuaded by her to go to the hotel in London to watch a play. And, of course, her long-planned murder.
Remember the letters that Prince Edward just mentioned to her? After the gunshots, Margaret did not run, but sat in a box full of letters and waited for the police to arrive.
In 1923, during a public trial of the murder, the judge ruled that Margaret was in legitimate self-defense and was released in court.

After returning to Paris, Margaret continued her glamorous life for a period of time, until the end of her life at the age of 80.
