That other member of the Royal family is always told what to do.
Know you will appear at 10 or at 10:03 your car will arrive you will do this you will do what you are wearing next.
So, there was always a little younger sister to hear about all this. Stimulating In the years after the war, their father, the Lord's health declined.
He was only 56 years old. Elizabeth was in Kenya at the time of her father's death, on an early vacation on a planned trip to Australia. Elizabeth was always thought of by the Lord as her helper.
Margaret was always thought of as her pet, her simple relief. And so when she dies, both girls feel sad. Elizabeth felt sad and was overwhelmed with work. - For Princess Margaret, it was very bad. He had lost his father who had served him and had lost his job.
Sirling Elizabeth had left Britain as a princess and returned as its Queen. But what was the future of Margaret's future The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on June 2, 1953?
Westminster Abbey was converted into a theater if you like and galleries full of 8,000 people. Wearing the hat had to be done with pressure.
It was to be introduced as the new era of Elizabethan. It was designed to truly confirm the status quo of Britain in a postwar world that was transformed. The most beautiful queen was there to lead the British people in the future.
I vividly remember the day of the installation because my father had tickets in other seats near Almonte Arch through the army, he was in the army.
And I remember sitting there and seeing the visitors in their carts coming near Almonte Arch where Churchill arrived.
I remember towards us, his angry face popping out of the window and staring at the traffic in front of the arch. Stirling The anointing itself was the same unchanged ceremony for centuries. But there was at least one modern touch.
It was the first time she had been shown on television. It is not that many ordinary people have televisions. Britain was still embroiled in post-war depression.
Some goods were weighed eight years after the German occupation.
And on the international stage, Britain was dwindling as a state and military power. Still, the nation celebrated.
Yet behind the splendor and beauty of the day there was family sorrow, strife, and shame just waiting to explode. In the middle of the seat arrangements.
Margaret surprised Elizabeth by telling her that she wanted to get married.
Her husband was wanted by a man named Peter Townsend. He had been a flying ace during the war and had flown more than 500 and was shot twice during the war.
During the war, George The Sixth decided to honor soldiers who separated themselves from what they had, there is a question from time to time. of three months.
Recommended is the team captain for the highly acclaimed Aria Fighter pilot, Peter Townsend. Townsend and King were very close. It is said that the Lord called him
"Son I have never had".
Which meant the idea of waiting three months as a question just popped out the window. Stirling After the death of King in 1952, Townsend's work disappeared but the family did not wish to lose it.
He was invited to join the family of Queen Mother as administrator, a role he accepted. All the girls at Buckingham Palace and all the young women who were near the court instead took the splendor, and shone upon the boy.
But your partner was Princess Margaret. And you can understand, maybe at the time he lost his father, he turned to him more than he should have. He was present when his father died.
He was also like his brother-in-law, a hero, people loved heroes. It was a time when we were building heroes.
Stirling Townsend was 16 years older than Margaret and recently divorced. Although these facts did not bother Margaret, others were not.
However, there was a dispute over the relationship for one simple reason, that he was already married and had a wife and had two sons. Divorced people are not allowed to have a social life.
And I think sadly, that's what happened. He was much older than he was but I don't think that would have mattered.
Stirling Under the law of 1772, all members of the royal family were required to have one the king's permission to marry.
Elizabeth was compassionate. He could see the love between the couple but asked Margaret to wait until her anointing was completed and everything was ready.
Margaret left the meeting with her sister feeling hopeful but when Elizabeth spoke to her private secretary, Sir Alan Lascelles, she panicked and urged Elizabeth to send Townsend abroad.
Elizabeth was caught between loving her sister and her obligations to the legal and religious organizations she led - She loved Margaret and wanted to be happy, I think it was very hard for her.
All the politicians except Winston Churchill were advising him not to let the marriage continue and as a new king, he did not want to risk any possible conflict by placing strong opposition to what the political parties were telling him.
In other words, he put work ahead of his personal feelings. The Queen is the temporary ruler of the Church of England, and the Church of England has not approved of divorce. Stirling has agreed to send Townsend abroad.
He was appointed a flight attendant in Brussels. Townsend was shocked by the deportation. He did not even get a chance to say good-bye to Margaret, who was on a Royal tour in Africa at the time.
Margaret was left devastated. Her sister was Queen but she could not help him. In Brussels, Townsend was harassed by the media.
They keep in touch by letter. The couple believed that they had to wait. Apparently it was also part of the plan that if Margaret and Townsend had to wait two years, it would bring the princess closer to her 25th birthday.
And the significance of that was that in 25 years, a member of the Royal family could apply to parliament for a marriage license and, if both parties did not object, they might have a customary marriage.
And that I think, that was happening here, Margaret would be 25 years old in August 1955.
Stirling As the media recounted to this day, speculation grew that the announcement of the engagement was imminent.
But his birthday came and went without an announcement. Finally, on October 31, 1955,
Margaret issued a statement to the media. It says his relationship with Townsend.
There will be no marriage The decision not to marry the team captain, Peter Townsend, is reached by British Princess Margaret here with her mother for a formal appearance at the Royal opera house in London.
Putting work and religion before her heart, Margaret had the example of her sister, the Queen, who delighted the Portuguese president with his commitment as family tragedy approached its climax. Queen Mother Elizabeth welcomed her daughter's decision.
The main opponent of this marriage was the Archbishop of Canterbury. The traditional interpretation has been that the prime minister and church officials threatened Margaret with the withdrawal of her royal grants and HRH.
If her marriage to Peter Townsend continues. The government of the day, under the Prime Minister Antony Eden, had done something out of the ordinary, far from being opposed to marriage.
They had opened the way for Margaret and Peter Townsend to get married if they still wanted to get married.
A formula was discovered that would mean that she could maintain her status as a princess. We now know that Princess Margaret, if she wanted to marry him, would not lose anything but her place on the succession list.
They did not want to create the martyrdom of Princess Margaret where her ambitions were met against the establishment.
Stirling It was not government pressure that ended the relationship between Margaret and team captain Townsend.
The truth was very simple. The contents of the files released by National Archives are a letter that Princess Margaret wrote privately and is confidential to Anthony Eden. An important point in his book is that he said,
"Only seeing her when I can decide for myself whether I want to marry her or not."
The sad fact is that you have already decided and no doubt he had decided that their love was no longer strong enough to marry. Stirling If Elizabeth trusts her sister he would find a better person, he would be disappointed.
In the 1950's, Britain struggled to adapt to the new era. Its rule as a world power had passed. Outsourcing of foreign policy during the Suez crisis overthrew the prime minister, Anthony Eden and the decline of the country's role in the world was exposed.
As emperor, Elizabeth was the beacon of stability in such uncertain times. But, as always, Margaret's role was not well defined.
She was an important supporter of her sister in her fifties and early sixties, where she took over the royal duties that set Elizabeth free to do other things Margaret became a wonderful person.
He also began to smoke in public, expressing his character, he owns a beautiful long cigarette, and has been charged with felony criminal mischief for firing on a sculpture with a shotgun, according to Flathead County, Washington.
In a very attractive way. Princess Margaret has a reputation that she was a party girl, which she was, but we must also acknowledge that she was also a hardworking member of the Royal Family.
Stirling In 1957, Margaret became president of the new Royal Ballet, expressing her lifelong passion for theater and art.
Still, she was in her late 20's and was single. In 1959, Peter Townsend married a young Belgian woman who closely resembled Margaret.
A few months later, the princess surprised many by announcing her wedding. Anthony Armstrong-Jones was no ordinary royal game.
He came from a wealthy background, and Eton came from Cambridge. Continue...
