Recently, the Queen's granddaughter-in-law Meghan has provoked the British people to be very unhappy, but the Queen herself seems to be very calm, the royal family in addition to a brief statement last week, there is no other action at present, after all, the British Royal Family as one of the oldest surviving royal families, the history of the unsafe members are not a two, Meghan This little trouble and the Queen's sister Princess Margaret made trouble, is a small witch to see the witch.
Princess Margaret was born in 1930 as the younger daughter of King George VI and the only sister of the current Queen Elizabeth II. Princess Margaret was intelligent and lovely from an early age, showing outstanding artistic talent, ballet, piano, vocal music, drama, coupled with her prosperous beauty, her father George VI once praised her daughter: the birds in the trees will be attracted to her and sing around her.
As the grand princess of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth has shouldered the heavy responsibility of inheriting the British royal family since the moment her father became the king of the United Kingdom at the age of 10, so she has been carefully cultivated since she was a child, with its own aura, which has attracted the attention of the world. As the youngest daughter of the king, Margaret is only the second heir to the throne, and she does not need to carry the responsibility of the family and country, but obviously will live under the aura of her sister for the rest of her life. Perhaps out of a compensatory mentality, the father gave Margaret more pampering and indulgence, and like all spoiled and spoiled children, Margaret has been plugging the British royal family since she was a teenager.
Princess Margaret fell in love with Peter Townsend, one of the king's bodyguards, in her early 20s. Peter was a handsome and manly man who was a former pilot who shot down 11 fighter jets during World War II. But the hero is not perfect as a candidate for the princess's spouse, who is 16 years older than Margaret and a divorced man. Neither the royal family nor the church could accept the marriage of a heir to the throne or to a divorced person, as evidenced by the fact that Edward VIII had to abdicate in order to marry the divorced Lady Simpson.
So even though Margaret and Peter were attracted to each other and loved each other deeply, when their affair was discovered at the coronation of the Queen of England because the princess dusted the clothes of the guards, its sensationality and pressure from all sides surrounded Margaret like a flood of beasts.
First, the British cabinet refused to support the marriage between the two men, and the then Prime Minister Churchill made it clear that "the member states of the federation were unanimously opposed" and used his power to transfer Peter to Belgium; then the media commented that it was "unimaginable"; and finally the archbishop threatened that "if the princess insisted on marrying, she would be expelled from the church". In this struggle, the British people have shown great tolerance, and the polls found that some citizens respected the personal choices of the princess.
In this way, under the pressure of the church, the royal family, the government and public opinion, the princess had to abandon Peter and issue a public statement to all walks of life: I promise not to violate the doctrine and not to forget the responsibility of the state. The vigorous love affair ended in tragedy, and it is said that the day before Margaret accepted her fiancé's proposal, Peter also told her that he planned to marry a Belgian woman. I don't know if Peter has been waiting for Margaret, but the seemingly rebellious Margaret finally gave up this love for the sake of worldly righteousness.
In the second year of abandoning Peter, 26-year-old Margaret reluctantly agreed to a marriage proposal called Billy Wallace, but the man, who was confident of royal approval, found himself a sexual encounter during a trip before marriage. After returning to England, he gave the matter and the interrogation to Margaret, and the princess swept her out of the house without saying a word.
Margaret's third relationship took place when she was 28 years old. At a private party she met photographer Anthony Armstrong Jones, who was about her age. Although Anthony was not as handsome as Peter, the artist's debauchery attracted Margaret's attention.
Because they both loved art, the two resonated in their interaction. Anthony was a royal photographer who won an Emmy Award for his documentary, and as an upper-class person, they got married smoothly. Their wedding was the first royal wedding in the world to be publicly televised. In the 1960s, when television was not so popular, as many as 3 million people around the world watched the wedding on television, which was an unprecedented event.
At this point, do you think that the princess and the horse will live happily for a lifetime? Princess Margaret told the ordinary people of the world with practical actions: That is impossible!
Margaret's marriage was beautiful in the beginning. The couple gave birth to a son and a daughter, and life seems calm and beautiful. But under this calm, Margaret's hedonistic rebellious personality and Anthony's yearning for freedom made the marriage eventually doomed.
Margaret was still keen on drinking and socializing after marriage, indulging in the pleasures of alcohol, and she once described herself as a "sexy and charming woman". And Anthony is tired of the shackles of royals and wants to be a free photographer again. The couple's quarrels became more and more frequent, and Margaret's style became more and more wild. She was photographed walking naked on the beach by the media, becoming the first member of the royal family to appear on the cover of a tabloid because of her nudity. She has also been seen wearing a bikini and making out with a young man who is 17 years younger than herself, and this extramarital relationship lasted for 8 years and was a sensation.
Eventually, the self-exiled Margaret announced her separation from her husband at the age of 46 and the two formally divorced two years later. Margaret became the first person in the British royal family in the 20th century to announce separation and divorce.
Margaret's 8-year-old derailment was a young designer named Roddy Loveline, who was 17 years younger, and the relationship between the two of them lasted until Margaret was 51 years old, but it did not bear fruit in the end. Since then, no news of Margaret's new love affair has been dug up, but the elderly Margaret is still keen on all kinds of cocktail parties and bars. She has been out of control since she fell into the habit of smoking in her 50s, and it is said that she smoked 60 cigarettes a day at the height of her addiction.
Her pursuit of a life of freeberty and hedonism made her one of the British public's least favorite members of the royal family, while unbridled alcoholism and smoking posed a fatal hazard to her health. She suffered lung cancer from excessive smoking, underwent gastric surgery, burned from excessive drinking, and suffered multiple strokes that resulted in partial paralysis and near blindness. In her later years, Margaret appeared in public view in a wheelchair and wearing sunglasses, eventually dying at the age of 72.
Margaret's life seems to be full of charm, arrogance, and self-sufficiency, which has disgraced the British royal family, but in fact, hidden under her proud and arrogant appearance, it is not a soft and loyal heart, otherwise, how could she turn her back on her love for the sake of doctrine.
