For the Queen of England, the name Margaret is definitely related to her, because her only and dear sister is Princess Margaret, and her first female Prime Minister is also called Margaret.
However, the position of these two Margaret in the queen's mind must be a little different, one is remembered by her heart, and has been concerned for decades.
And the other one? That's not easy to say, at least let her feel that water and fire are incompatible is a must.
I'm afraid there is no way to change this, let's first look at Princess Margaret, who was once regarded as the most popular member of the royal family by the British people, and her personal color is full of dazzling feelings for a lifetime, without her, the British royal family will lose a lot of color.
Princess Margaret ascended the throne when her father was 6 years old, and the Queen was only 10 years old that year.
Since the beginning of this year, she has understood a truth: she can be the dearest family of her parents and sister, she can be the most favorite princess of the people, but she cannot be the future queen, which is her sister's position.
Indeed, Margaret's rebellion is true, but so is her love for her sister.
In the royal family, or in the rich, such sisterhood is so deep that they do not doubt each other, and there are not many who complete each other.
To this end, Princess Margaret was serious and free to be the "spoiled daughter of King George VI", and to be a beautiful princess who was sentenced to the Queen. Smoking, falling in love, going to parties...
Until her sister ascended the throne, Margaret's love affair with her husband did not go away, which became a solid hammer for her to pull her sister's hind legs, which made her sister encounter an unprecedented crisis when she first ascended the throne.
But the Queen never seemed to blame her sister for this, she knew that she loved her purely and seriously, and on the contrary, when the cabinet began to attack her, she chose to negotiate with everyone, wanting to give Margaret a way to live.
This is sisterhood, because they have known each other since childhood, and they know too many secrets about each other. It is said that the two sisters have a telephone line at Buckingham Palace, which is for two people to chat and talk. It can be seen that the queen knows her sister's affairs.
However, the Queen had just come to power at the time, and she was not capable enough to stand up to the entire government.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill sent Princess Margaret's lover, Colonel Townsend, abroad for two years, hoping that the princess would forget Townsend.
But to no avail, Margaret was deeply in love with Townsend.
To this end, the Queen had to write to the Cabinet herself, hoping that they would be able to accommodate and complete the sister and Townsend.
When Congress began to loosen, the church shook its head, Margaret was a believer, and Townsend was not, so they could never be united. If she insisted on going her own way, she would be expelled from the church.
Of course, the loosening of Parliament is also conditional, that is, to make Margaret give up all the treatment of the princess and leave the royal family.
In this situation, the queen retreated, she did not want her sister to lose her beloved, but also did not want herself to be isolated and discredited king.
Margaret couldn't bear to look at her sister and finally cried and read the pledge to break up with Townsend.
But in this way, she fell into a state of playing with life: drinking, smoking, staying up late, and doing too many deviant things, making herself a public opinion figure in the royal family.
Almost two years later, Townsend wrote a letter to Margaret: I'm getting married.
This left Margaret no longer in control of herself, and she quickly married flower photographer Anthony Armstrong Jones.
It was an unhappy marriage in which two people each lived a life unacceptable to the other until divorce.
By this time Margaret's physical condition had begun to deteriorate, and the queen did not know how much she had to bear for it. But there was no way, as long as there was a breath, the sister could not throw away her cigarette.
Just as Princess Margaret was getting worse, the name of Margaret Hilda Thatcher appeared in front of the Queen's eyes, her first female Prime Minister.
In the past history of England, no woman has ever ascended to this seat, and this woman is only half a year older than the queen.
This did not seem to please the queen, because this Margaret was too much of a distraction to be a peer.
Obviously said that the meeting time was good, she said that she would change it, obviously she put down her body and invited her to stay at Buckingham Palace, but she did not have any room for maneuver and directly refused.
The Queen found that Although Margaret was also called Margaret, it was so difficult compared to her sister that she even lost her grace and directly referred to her as "the woman" in front of the leaders of other countries.
At this time, the queen was still worried about her sister's body, because she had removed the place where her lungs were infected in 1985 and her health was getting worse and worse. But Margaret Thatcher was like a thorn in her throat, not spitting out unhappiness.
In fact, most politicians at this time found that the queen and Margaret Thatcher were "not easy to get along with", one was cold but humorous, and the other was iron-faced and stern.
Thatcher's incivility angered the queen, and she would say directly to the queen: "Please leave the politics to me." ”
In such a situation, the queen feels like a laggard who has dragged others behind, and her inner unhappiness can be imagined. The political differences between the two men were also very obvious, and Margaret Thatcher even said that the queen was only the nominal head of state.
According to the records of Thatcher's secretary, Carolyn Stephens, it can be seen that 9 December 1980 was the day that Margaret Thatcher met with the Queen, but she proposed: "This day is not convenient for the talks, I want to entertain a high-level French delegation." ”
One after another, even the secretary was a little frightened, and she wrote in the record:
"I don't want to mess with our relationship with the court, but this week we had a lot of the same problems as last time... I really think this will put our relationship with the court at risk. ”
Well, this Margaret is much more of a headache than the Queen's sister, who is so angry and hateful of her that she can't get along with her at all.
Finally the words came out: "She (Thatcher) has been around for too long." ”
Apparently, the two Margarets gave the Queen two very different feelings, she was worried about her sister, but she had a headache for the Prime Minister.
However, these two people were destined to leave her life before she was, and she was still very sad about this.
When her sister died, she told the outside world with great sorrow: My beloved sister, Princess Margaret, left suddenly in her sleep this morning.
Then she stood at the funeral and refused to leave for a long time.
And when Margaret Thatcher died, the Queen attended her funeral for the first time in her life, personally sending a deceased prime minister for the second time in her life. What was she thinking in her mind? No one knows, but according to her "tepid" relationship with Margaret Thatcher, presumably it is only more lamentation than sadness.
