There are many princes and princesses in the British royal family, and there are also many legendary models. I have talked about Princess Anne who is not afraid of the world to participate in the Olympic Games, and today I would like to continue to introduce you to one of the most maverick and free princesses in the royal family.
Have you all seen Roman Holiday?
In the film, audrey Hepburn plays a princess of a European country who is born beautiful and advocates freedom, visits Rome and sneaks to the folk to enjoy the night view, and thus falls in love with ordinary people.
In fact, the prototype of the princess in the play is Princess Margaret of England, she is the only sister of the Queen of England, she has been pampered since childhood, and the public evaluates her as "the most independent, freest, modern and rebellious woman in the British royal family".
01
Margaret was born in 1930, only 4 years younger than her sister Elizabeth.
When she was 6 years old, Uncle Edward VIII "loved beauty and did not love the country" and gave up the throne, so her father George became King George VI of England, and she herself became Princess Margaret.
When they first entered Buckingham Palace, they began a harsh royal life, and the sisters were somewhat unaccustomed, but fortunately they were accompanied by each other.
George VI deeply understood that the eldest daughter would one day become queen, and the younger daughter could only be a princess, always living under the aura of the eldest daughter. So as a father, he also pampered his little daughter and gave her everything she wanted as much as possible.
The eldest daughter must learn all aspects of political affairs and public affairs, while the younger daughter's course is half that of the youngest daughter.
To put it more bluntly: the eldest daughter is raised to the standards of the queen, while the younger daughter is endlessly pampered as a princess.
Compared with her sister's restraint and forbearance, Margaret is more agile and lively, romantic and sensitive.
George VI often said: Lilibet is my pride, but Margret is my joy.

As she grew older, Princess Margaret's beauty was gradually revealed.
Bright eyes, dazzling smile, noble temperament without losing femininity. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the face of the entire royal family.
In addition to beauty, she also paid great attention to fashion, and was the number one fashion icon of the British royal family at that time.
Stiletto heels are her trademark, and from the age of 18, she wears a pair of eye-catching heels at all events.
Father George VI once showed off his young daughter "with the appearance of an angel, a delicate figure and the temperament of a star" to everyone, and this sentence is true.
Looking at the old photos of Princess Margaret, it is indeed beautiful and eye-catching, looking like a movie star.
When she stands with the real movie star, Monroe, she is not left behind at all.
Noble, elegant, intelligent, confident, as if all the good adjectives of the world could be applied to her.

In fact, Margaret is also a spoiled princess, free and willful, and has swallowed the clouds and become an "old smoking gun", which also laid the groundwork for her old health problems.
In the early 1950s, just a year after the Queen ascended the throne, the love affair of her sister, Princess Margaret, was exposed.
But what she fell in love with was not a prince or a nobleman, but one of her father's bodyguards, 16 years older than herself, and divorced.
At that time, she was very determined, expressed her heart to her sister, and then wrote a handwritten letter to the new prime minister, Eden.
From the church to the cabinet, from the media to the people, everyone at that time felt that the princess was too outrageous, calling her "the most rebellious person in the royal family".
However, this high-profile love affair finally came to an abrupt end.
At the age of 30, the princess received news that they were about to get married, and the next day, she agreed to the proposal of photographer Anthony Jones.
Perhaps out of gambling or having saved enough disappointment, in short, her marriage can be described by the word "legendary".
The wedding 61 years ago was said to be the world's first royal wedding to be broadcast on television, and 3 million viewers watched the TV broadcast on that day.
After marriage, she remained free and uninhibited, trapped in tobacco and alcohol all day, and held endless drinking parties.
In 1978, Margaret and Anthony formally divorced, and she was the only member of the core royal family at the time to divorce.
In 2002, Princess Margaret suffered a stroke and died peacefully in the company of her children.
At this point, the story of a generation of legendary princesses finally came to an end, and it is inevitable that people feel sorry.
