Princess Margaret: The Trouble with Townsend (2020) Royal Family Divorce, British Scandal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2023
- Princess Margaret is known for her glamour. She may have been the center of gossip but will be remembered for standing out amongst Royal stereotypes.
Princess Margaret, little sister of Queen Elizabeth II, struggled throughout her life to balance an independent spirit and artistic temperament with her duties as a member of Britain’s Royal family. From her dramatic almost-marriage to her very public divorce, Margaret’s turbulent love life dominated the Royal Family spotlight for years.
The Princess’s romantic entanglements were the stuff of rumor, tabloid speculation and scandal, yet they played a critical role in modernizing Royal love along the way. Hand in hand with her marriage was her shocking divorce, which almost became her unwritten legacy, and normalized Royal divorce for the future generations, despite the backlash she faced at the time.

She destroyed herself- couldn’t cope with being second.
She had no purpose. What do you do after the party ends and you live in a pretty fish bowl?
I met her. She looked continuously around to see if there was somebody more important she could talk to.
Arrogant,grand, big ‘spare’ complex.
Duty my foot- she didn’t want to give up her privileges and perks.
Sounds Familiar!!!
EXACTLY!
WOW!!!
@@gmadude1394 sounds like Andrew
She could have married Townsend. But she would have had to give up all the perks and privileges of being a Royal. She chose the royal lifestyle over Townsend. So if she was miserable she only had herself to blame.😮
The world has changed since then, especially for women. Perhaps she was afraid to be alone in the world, if the marriage did not work out.
Would you give up everything you know everything you grew up with to marry a guy? Would you be OK with losing everything for love? Trust me love would be over very quickly. She made a right decision
Even at the age of 30, the Queen Mother looked frumpy.
That’s because she was ! 😂🤣
They all did. I’m sorry, but I don’t see the glamour. Just cause you put on a Tiara and expensive Jewels doesn’t make you glamorous.
None of the royals are beautiful ( save a few).
@@molliwilson5639 William is striking.
@@geraldjampol3120 I agree with you
I wonder how George the 6th would have felt about Townsend messing around with his "joy"? I don't think he would have been very happy!
Before his death, George VI was aware of his daughter Margaret's affection for and growing attachment to Peter Townsend. He thought time and distance would ease her feelings for Townsend. Of course, once her father died, Margaret became even more closely attached to and enamored of Townsend.
@@LindyMia-ft9md .👍
According to Townsend's biography, George VI was aware of his "joy" and wanted Townsend to give him "joy."
Funny how the Queen ripped up all the rules about divorce when it came to Charles and camila
@@DPost-bx6jvThe queen forced Charles to end his relationship with Camilla because she was married.
@@oliveoil7642
That did not stop them.
@@oliveoil7642
She was not married then.
It was a slow process
She already did for Princess Anne, she was the first to marry again the family after a divorce
We dont have to feel sorry for her. She led a very priviliged life
VERY privileged
@@justsayin8893👍👍👍👍👍
She did but the Royal family live a relatively restricted life and some decisions are dictated by others.
@@willswheels283 I agree, I'm not sure i would want to be in that position, perks and all. I like my freedom, albeit i'm at the bottom of the food chain comparatively speaking, i do not think lack of choice, loss of freedom and living by the dictates of others appealing IMHO. Cheers!
I know I wouldn't cope with that amount of restrictions on my life. Even with all the privilege, they still don't have the freedom. Nobody has the perfect life... apart from me 🤭😂🤩
I doubt the relationship with Townsend and Princess Margaret would have lasted in the long run.
We think so too.
She had a new lover 3 months later
She was too spoiled to maintain a successful marriage
Especially to a “serial adulterer.”
Does anyone else think that Emily Blunt could play her in a movie or something and be believable?
Yes!🙂
Absolutely.
she didnt marry townsend because she would lose her title and money...She didnt do it for duty. If she were queen the monarchy would be ended...
She would have married him in a shot if he d had money. We all know her knickers saw the floor more times than a kitchen mop. I dont doubt her devotion to her sister ,but that is NOT devotion to duty. Famous only for her lifestyle and who she was ,she didnt do ONE thing that ever proved her worth ,not on the platform she was blessed with.
certain things should of been stripped of hers she didn't do much all because she had to do to clean her image.
I felt so bad for her for the way her husband, Anthony Armstrong-Jones, treated her during their marriage.
Another one not allowed to marry who she really loved
I don t think she wa pretty (beauty standards can change) nor very nice , a life full of privileges she could not appreciate
Aaaargh! Another video in which the "background" music completely detracts from the narrative. Beyond annoying.
Margaret was too self centered and undisciplined to be a good queen.
Princess Margaret reminds me SOOO much of my grandmother. I've thought that for as long as I can remember. Soul sisters I think. They looked and acted so very and eerily similar.
She had everything going for her. Fame, fortune, beauty, but chose to ruin her life. Being unable to be with the person you want to be is not the end of the world.
Yes and when she was told she wouldnt be the Queen she became callous and resentment towards Elizabeth and it goes on
I mean, how would any of us know what it was like to be faced with giving up everything you'd ever known? 🙄 So quick to judge two people who are long dead and thus can't speak from the grave to set the record straight. 🤨😒
It is for some of us
Yes it is
I disagree. Once a man or woman is smitten, it's impossible to shake off the attraction.
I would have loved to be born “the Spare.”
Same here. All of the royal privileges without pretty much all of the hardships. Do whatever the hell I want, use the pretty outfits and tiaras, and just keep it to myself. I've never been a party animal whatsoever, so avoiding scandals would have been a piece of cake.
My only problem would be seeing my face in magazines. I absolutely hate my face.
@@usagi18 the grass is always greener on the other side!
@@SHARON.I I really doubt Princess Eugene would switch faces and bank accounts with me
@@usagi18 all I said was the grass is always greener whether they want it or not. You are probably correct
@@SHARON.I then it's not ALWAYS greener
Come on, Mr. so-called biographer! Margaret was likely counseled to write that letter, most likely to ensure she would be allowed to see Townsend upon his return to England. If there was any doubt, it was not coming from the hearts of either Margaret or Townsend. Surely they had devised a way of staying in touch, despite being separated. Clearly, the letter was filed away to suddenly be discovered years after Townsend & Margaret were dead and could no longer speak their truth. 😢 The government is solely interested in being absolved of their role in the tragedy of Princess Margaret's sad life. There has been such spin in recent years surrounding Margaret & Townsend, which is clearly an attempt to 'rewrite' their love story. Mr. biographer is twisting himself into a pretzel to try and get recent generations to believe this distorted rewrite. To get new generations of royal observers to both pity and to blame Margaret and Townsend for falling in love, and for being denied fulfillment of their love. Sure, sure, it's all their fault. 🙄 The British government was solidly against Margaret and Townsend marrying, and that never changed. Margaret was most assuredly told, in no uncertain terms, that she would lose everything if she married Townsend. The deal that her sister, the Queen, tried to broker for Margaret to retain her HRH and royal status and still marry Townsend, fell through. Thus, faced with the loss of everything she'd known, including her personal identity, Margaret gave up Townsend. The look on Margaret's face in that car, after her statement was released, is a look of utter heartbreak and devastation.
Io sapevo che fu Elisabetta a negare il matrimonio tra margaret e peter ..perché lui era sposato ..lei non poteva unirsi con un divorziato ..
Townsend wrote the famous letter for her.
Should’ve been allowed to marry Townsend without the drama. The Queen had the heir and the spare (Anne) already. Margaret would’ve not been queen.
It wouldn't have lasted
Loved this lil documentary
❤
Thanks for watching!
She was really lovely. If she had been famous for some other reason than royalty, she would be more appreciated for her grace and charm and beauty.
We totally agree.
It's a shame that times were so rigid and she wasn't free to marry who she wanted back then. I hope she still had a happy life. She must have been a lot of fun. My wife always liked and respected her. ❤ 🙏
The music is aggravating
👏👏👏👏👏👏A goooooorgeous video ! And jolly nice English without an accent !😉
You don't even call a telephone a phone ! 😀😀
When I was young I looked after my uncle's ponies at Cowdray Park Polo Club, and everybody there spoke just you ! 😀😀
Sandy Harper was my uncle's best friend.

Margaret might have had a better longer life had she been allowed to marry Townsend.
I doubt it. He married a 19-year-old 5 minutes after he and Margaret broke up.
She would have divorced him too. She was spoiled and immature.
Saw “Townsend” and thought you meant the UA-cam channel 😂 I was ready to throw hands.
😂😂😂😂
Close!
Princess Margaret was the ultimate high maintenance chick. I don’t think she was someone who could have ever found true happiness in a relationship because she a text book narcissist. No man wants to feel and was most probably told that he is beneath her. I’m sure that happened a lot. Tony Armstrong was a rebound relationship that should have stayed that way.
She should have married the war hero she loved. She learned too late
The parents wouldnt allow it just like the queen wouldnt allow Charles to marry who he wanted
She was so beautiful. Much more beautiful than her mother and sister. She was raised to do nothing but be a princess. She would have been miserable with Townsend after a few years. He couldn't live up to the perfect man in her eyes, her father. I don't know if she ever loved Anthony. I admire her for choosing duty over her feelings for Townsend.
You can have sensitivity and understanding for someone without feeling sorry for them...she was a human being with challenges beyond mere "privilege" 🙏
I love how sassy she was
Princess Margaret was a real character.
Townsend was the Innocent in the divorce, his wife Was the Guilty party
Quite tragic character. On the one hand, young, beautiful royal family member, on the other, she couldn't marry man she truly loved. I think her life could be different if she really listened to her heart, let be stripped of titles and money and wouldn't regret it in the name of love. So hard decision.
May be she would drink and smoke less and would be more fulfilled in her life.
Disclaimer: I don't really know, but I suppose she could suffered for the rest of her life.
Wow princess Anne really looks like Margaret
She does!
They destroyed her.
et qui ça? car oui j'aimerais savoir ...please.
Nope, she destroyed herself. She drank too much, smoked too much, and engaged in scandalous affairs. Not fitting for a princess.

At 8:23 it shows Baldwin's name misspelled in the newspaper headline from 1936. Funny 😊
Whoops!
waste of space
Is that Fergie in the first 5 minutes?
I also that, but its not...they showed her name somewhere in the video ....they do have very similar features though...possibly related
Nothing flattering about the fashion of those days women looked menopausal in their thirties😅
such nonsense Peter pursued a child and Margaret could have never given up her title or perks
At 39:28 it mentions 'both of the Snowdon's' ...is that a mistake? His last name is Armstrong-Jones...
His name changed to Snowdon. Upon gaining a title.
Typical Spare
In many ways I see Harry and Margaret as this kind of similar rebel.
Famiglia meravigliosa..bellissimi. molto uniti..
trouble with margo she was just a slup
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Very sad. Glad I'm not a Royal. I understand why Harry fled.
Yet he still uses his title to get the perks.
Yes, she lived a privileged life BUT,it all turned to hell for her when he sister betrayed her - betrayed the promise they both gave to their father & broke margaret’s heart. After that, margaret was ruthless, full of hate, resentment, depression, alcoholism, suicidal. She had no will to live. Then married anthony, who cheated on her left right & center & not only with women.
After watching the netflix show (which the royals hated becauae all they showed was the TRUTH) i realized how ruthless the ex queen of england was - not only towards her sister, but to her children, especially charles. She once said “for me it’s my horses, then my dogs, then my husband and finally children.” Sickening statement & i hated her ever since. And yes, it’s because of her that Princess Diana died. It was no accident. It was planned. That woman ruined so many lives - her sister’s, her children’s (just look at them) and ending Princess Diana’s life & God only knows how many more and let’s not forget Saville was a regular visitor at the palace & NO ONE can convince me that she didnt know what he was doing to young children!
It is YOUR hatred that you're projecting here.
Vitriol
Give it a rest.
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Pour woman
I can honestly say, I never kicked and certainly not bitten my siblings!! What a horrid spiteful thing to do!!! Disgusted, quite frankly!!!
Really, stop it. Kids actually do that stuff! You obviously aren’t her parent and really just ignorant
@julesjay424 I was a child! With siblings!!!!! Not one of us bit!!!!!! It NEVER, crossed our minds!!!! What sort of god awful parent are you?? If you think biting is normal and acceptable??
@@user-gc3lm2nh7b well apparently you are still a child, huge difference in being one and raising one.
@julesjay424 I have four children for your information, you obnoxious, vile person and not one of them has EVER, bitten anyone! It is a nasty, spiteful way to behave!!!
