Princess Margaret of England is the sister of Queen Elizabeth II, and her tragic love story caused by the traditional constraints of the royal family has been circulated, but in her new documentary about her, "The Controversial Princess", it reveals her cowardice that she does not dare to fight for love.
Princess Margaret is known to have fallen in love with a bodyguard, RAF officer Peter Townsend, as a young woman, but when she told the Queen that she wanted to marry Townsend, the Queen explicitly told her "You can't marry a divorced man." ”
According to the royal tradition of the time, royals could not marry divorced people, and in previous versions there were lovers who were separated because of this tradition and married each other, but they were still concerned that each other eventually died in regret.
However, in the new royal documentary, the marriage of another member of the royal family in the late 70s, Prince Michael of Kent, and his marriage partner Marie-Christina von Rebnitz, who was also divorced, princess Margaret was furious when she learned of this, but the object of her anger was not the queen but The Michaels, after the two married, the princess refused to talk to them and almost stopped interacting.
Seeing that many of these friends may be confused and do not understand The thinking of Princess Margaret, do not rush us to continue to look down.
Like Margaret, Prince Michael's marriage application was rejected and warned by Queen Elizabeth II and royal officials, but the prince was determined, holding a civil wedding to Mary Christina a month after her divorce, and then returning to London to give up his inheritance, which allowed him and Mary to receive the blessings of the Queen and Pope John Paul II.
Didn't Princess Margaret know that it was possible to marry Peter in this way? No, she knew, not to mention that her uncle, King Edward VIII, was "not fond of the country and the beauty", and gave up the throne of the king for Mrs. Simpson, and when she proposed to marry Peter, the British officials warned her: "This will deprive you of all the privileges of being a member of the royal family." And it was with this sentence that Princess Margaret flinched.
Now it is easy to understand the princess's reaction to the marriage of Prince Michael to the divorced, her anger is not due to the so-called injustice, but because she sees the result that she does not dare to fight for, others have won the imbalance afterwards, or she refuses to admit her cowardice, and instead blames all this on the Michaels.
Noted royal expert Penny Juno noted: "I think this documentary overturns the tragic love story of Princess Margaret, and we always thought that she failed to marry Townsend because she was stopped by her sister, by the Church and the government in England, but now the answer is clear, just because she didn't love enough." ”
More ironically, more than three decades after Prince Michael relinquished inheritance and all privileges for his wife, Queen Elizabeth II amended the act to liberalize the royal family's ability to choose their partners, while also returning Prince Michael's royal privileges.
Fortunately, Princess Margaret did not live as long as her sister, otherwise the princess would have been "back" to the day the Queen amended the bill.
