Channel 4 Secret Life's Princess Margaret 14 January 1999 

FANCY THAT Margaret of all people to be so rude to Fergie when she had pictures of her and Roddy Llewellen ??!? Sheeeeeesh!

All these people complaining yet they enabled her simply because she was the queen's sister

She was smart not to cut off her only income. Utw as safety. What if something happened to him? What are her survival skills beyond simply existing and being a princess?

Margaret is a real beauty who lived a nasty life. With that being said she has the nerve to rebuke the duchess knowing fully well she herself lived a very nasty life and embarrassed the family on many occasions

This has popped up on RU-vid I am watching on the eve of our late Queen Elizabeth's funeral. Hope you are both now with your dear father.

The “back story” of her romance with Peter Townsend is very interesting; perhaps it is true that she was only intensely infatuated, but I believe he genuinely loved her because a few years later he married a young French woman (Marie-Luce Jamagne) who looked so much like Princess Margaret that you could almost believe they were identical twins.

To bad she thought she was second best and no one helped her to feel different May she rest in peace 🙏

This film mentions Margaret not paying her friend for lobster but I understand that she also didnt pay for her HOUSE on the island. Lord Falconer the owner offered her some land on the island as a birthday present and somehow ended up building a house for her..with his own money.

A very beautiful woman....RIP

Thanks so much for this!

Epic documentary. i loved every bit of it.

She seemed desperately unhappy throughout her adult life. Sad.

Actually she was George V’s fourth grandchild because his daughter Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood had two sons before Elizabeth and Margaret were born.

The institution is tough. But, desperate or not, the goings on at Mustique were - well - all money and plums in mouths but cheap and - meh - just gross, personally, and no excuse. You can give yourself to other things. Diana made mistakes too, but she kept classy and devoted herself to charity rather than debauchery. She'd still be doing amazing things if she was here. I feel for Margaret, but ... she kinda did it to herself too. So did Fergie, but Margaret could have been much kinder, considering what she'd done. Ah well, we need to ahve compassion I guess.

Hi. Great upload! Do you have the one on Lester Piggott at all? The one that is uploaded on RU-vid is pretty unwatchable due to poor picture quality

Those 1990s car commercials are the best.

I really have a hard time feeling sorry for the so called royals. She had the chance to marry and gave it up to live a royal life style That says it all

I'm glad that Peter Townsend "dodged that bullet," and later found happiness (and children) with his second(beautiful) wife. Margaret probably would have tired of him and messed up his life...poor guy.

Why is everyone making excuses ? She was a narcissist, she would have acted this way if she was born a commoner. She would had then yelled bloody murder for not being born a royal.

There’s an important chunk missing. It skips from her wedding straight to her affair with Roddy Llewellyn.

Absolutely loved princess Margaret so beautiful classy glamorous and an icon my favourite royal of all time.

The announcer says this was first shown in Jan 1997. You have put it was 1999.

Why cant i download the video to watch later 🙄

Ok... Women, answer me... Truly, I want to know...who amongst you would willing , trustingly, give up your status, your RIGHT to be HRH for some man who divorced his wife and tool her children away in that ERA... Princess Margaret made a very very wise choice♡♡♡

Seriously, someone couldn't edit out the commercials?

She was as bad as Fergie,but at her time the press kept quiet.She drank,smoke,had affairs,plus she chose not to marry the supposed love of her life for a life of a princess.

Going through the archives , turns out she could have kept her title and married him receiving double the pay and Townsend would have been given a title. This was kept from the Queen and everyone.

So sad 😢

She wasn't a nice person she was a narcissist.

Cannot believe that those ridiculous British ads are part of the video post. Caught in a time warp 👎

What do people expect when a child is brought up in such a manner?

Itchy selfish royal, who was finally left alone after all her glorious physics had gone due to premature aging....

I have unfavorable opinions on royals. But much respect to them, all the privilege and splendor happiness seems to allude them. Living a life where the entire kingdoms opinions rule your life. Being told from birth your second best.

Good afternoon everyone

What duty??..she was the most selfish person ever!

Царство небесное Марго

They make it out that its tough being 2nd to the Queen, but I reckon you could argue that it would be a lot tougher being the Queen. QUEEN ELIZABETH II, was 100% committed to Public Service, & was heavily scrutinised. Princess Margaret, although also subjected to scrutiny & also committed to Public Service, was subject to less scrutiny & actually had a bit more choice. In relation to Marriage sure they gave her a choice but it would be a choice where she pretty much could only give 1 answer. Ie You can marry Townsend, but if you do you will completely get cut off from the Royal Family, everything will be taken away, your allowance & Bank Account will be taken away & frozen, you will have to fund the Wedding yourself, you will not be able to be married at St James Palace, no one from the Royal Family or our Friends will attend. Same question was probably given to Charles III, with the addition of you will never be King.Charles III should of actually been allowed to marry Camilla Rosemary Shand. I think though & Im sure many would agree that it was great that he didnt & that he married Diana Spencer, because they had possible* 2 great Boys that grew up to be the Men they are today. *There's some arguments against Prince Harry, even that he is not Charles biological Son. Also the type of Person he is today. I still think Prince Harry is awesome. Meghan is the problem, she has basically made anyone in her circle alienate their Family & previous Friends. She will then destroy them & then alienate them. She has done all this to Prince Harry apart from alienate him. She has also alienated everyone else in her life, such as her Family. Its also always their fault. One big problem for you Meghan, is that you are the one common denominator & its happened so many times that its absolutely mathematically impossible not to be your fault. In regards to William, we can not get a more suitable future King. William is confident, charismatic, principled, charming, personable, intelligent awesome, & and all round great guy. Prince William has also married the perfect young Lady, who is intelligent, beautiful, principled, & also awesome & great They have 3 equally as great Children that they have mostly brought up themselves. I believe nearly everyone is very excited for William & Kate to become King & Queen. Had Camilla married Charles all this would never of happened, so despite it being the right thing to do, its great the Royal Family made this Union an impossible choice for Charles to make. Instead we get the unlikely union of 20yo Diana Spencer to 32 Prince Charles. They met when she was just 16. Prince Charles was dating Diana's 22yo Sister - Sarah. Who knows when Charles & Diana first started dating & what age she was when he took her virginity. All we know is this Union was very unlikely to work. Altnough thanks to it we got William & Harry. Or for some of you - just William. That surely has got to be the best thing ever!😮

👑princess Margaret❤⚘

👍👍👍💛🙋‍♀️

Good for her 😂❤

Pot calling kettle black

Beauty is as beauty does. …….so you figure it out after watching,

Poor Margaret was never happy but could not leave her royal family 😮

What about her illegitimate son MrBrown. No mention of the child she abandoned

I'm sorry, but, first of all, what does it matter that she was 'beautiful' and secondly, who on earth thinks she's 'beautiful'?

Love Princess Margaret and love her love for whiskey and cigs!

We seem to have gone from the honeymoon to the affair, skipping over more than a decade

So what? There can't be two Queens

She was an alcoholic

I Think She was a Corker.

Amoral 🤺💐

What good has she done in this world?

The family with no morals, yet head of kirk and state. 🤺💐

Margaret = spare. Harry = Spare. They probably could have connected.

Double standard. Margàret's choice of marriage to a divorcee, Peter Townsend was turned down by the queen. Charles divorce to Princess Diana & marriage to Camilla approved by the Queen.

Pot ….. kettle…… what the heck???? She’s doing same thing as Fergie!!!!!! Geez gotta love,them Royals😳😳😳

King Edward 8 and Wallis, Princess Margaret and Peter. Not allowed to marry due to divorce. In 2024 we now have adulterous divorcees pretenders Tampons and Cowmilla on the throne. Worlds gone mad 😡 #buckinghampalace

Like Prince Charles Princess Margaret was. Not allowed to Marry who they wanted Put harry was how come I am sure the Queen had magan checked out the Queen should have put down her foot and said no G-d bless the Queen keep her save and well healthy for many years Princess Margaret rest in peace 🙏 G-d bless your children and their Families keep them safe

Mitsubishi Galant. Mmmmmmm Chicken cooked by Gary Rodes.

MARGARET MEET HARRY.every generation of royal has a wild child that doesn't fit in to the stuffy royal rules.

There is no such word as “Life’s”. It is ‘Lives’.

Fergie had nothing on Margaret!

I guess, had she be born male, back then, Margaret would've been the King instead of Elizabeth Queen.

It's ironic that Margaret is criticized for not leaving the BRF for love but Harry (another sibling of a future monarch) is criticized for doing exactly that.

The narrative slant, and not just the narrarator, seems so primitive. How dare an individual member of our species decide for themselves what to do with their life. Princess, schmincess...😄😄🐉 EDIT: She should have just banged out a polysci degree at Oxford and settled into a nice civil servant's job. 😄🤓🙃

Pot..... Kettle..... Black..... Auld Maggie was a good time girl with low morals..

A drunk.

The documentary is inaccurate in relation to Princess Margaret’s relationship with Peter Townsend. Margaret could have married Townsend. She absolutely would not have lost her income from the civil list, in fact it would have been increased on marriage. I don’t think she would have had to give up her HRH, indeed it would have taken a change in the law to take that off her because she was an HRH by birth. The only thing she would have had to give up was her place in the line of succession, which was very much reduced as soon as the Queen started having children and that was before Elizabeth was Queen. The simple fact is that Margaret was not forced to give up the man she loved, she chose to, because her position, such as it was, was too important to her. That’s fair enough, it happens in relationships sometimes, a moment when you realise you just don’t love someone enough to give things up for them, but let’s not pretend she was some kind of tragic figure because she wasn’t. Princess Margaret’s problem, at least as far as I can see, was not being second fiddle to her sister. It was also not being overlooked, both her parents adored her, her father idolised both of his girls and referred to them as his pride and joy, Elizabeth being his pride and Margaret his joy. Margaret’s problem, I believe, as someone whose parents are no longer alive, was losing her father at a young age. She was just 22 and this man she adored was gone. I don’t think Margaret ever quite recovered from losing her father and I think she mourned him all her life, but looked for solace in the wrong places.

She did too much drugs and alcohol at Mystique. A true party princess 🎉 if she had lived a clean life maybe she would have reached a high age just as her mother and sister.

If Meghan had been born a princess, she'd have been like Princess Margaret
