Ahahahaha go and look up the anecdotes of her servants and people she generally dealt with. She became either the worst royal, or the worst after Prince Andrew.
@@ΕιρήνηΚυριαζη Are you for real?! EVERY servant and just about everyone who knew her says this. This is not some revelation I’m saying here: It’s accepted fact.
Yes, a princess, child of a monarch, but just look at her face when discussing the King.....quite simply a daughter who adored her father! Lovely! This is my all-time favourite discussion with HRH The Princess Margaret.
Nice interview. Princess Margaret seemed rather charming and down-to-earth here. I really liked that you could see her obvious love for her father, mother and sister. I also loved the little bit with the Dionne Quints listening to Princess Elizabeth's radio address and I love Elizabeth's voice. She sounded so sweet, yet mature and wise, and the Quints clapping afterward was so cute. Whatever happened to de-rail Princess Margaret's life, she had a family that loved her and that she loved deeply as well.
I love this interview. It shines a different light on the details of the war and gives us a more personal and approachable Princess Margaret than the stories floating around about her. I think she must have been quite interesting to talk to. It is remarkable how much she and the queen were so much alike.
It's been said that she was tougher and perhaps more intelligent than the Queen. Had Margaret been sovereign, I don't think she'd have let politicians shove her around so much.
That was the first time I have ever heard Princess Margaret speak. It was just wonderful. When she was young she had to be the most beautiful woman in the world. How sad to think her life became so shockingly miserable. How old was she during this interview? Still totally lovely and charming. Thank you for listing.
This was really wonderful to see. The usual descriptions of Margaret just go on and on about her being spoiled and rude. She had lots of friends and loyal companions so you know she must have been charming and fun at some point. Her children are both very lovely, decent people so she obviously did some things right.
It's interesting to see how similar Princess Margaret's smile is to the Queen's. They even have some of the same mannerisms. I suppose history and the popularity of "The Crown" have emphasized how different they were, but one can see when watching real footage of the two women that they were sisters and had shared traits as siblings will regardless of how different their personalities may be.
@@stablefairy9437 Yes I was referring to the clips she was watching. High living had caught up with her, as had the cigarette smoking which killed her as it did her father.
I can't say I've spent much time learning about Pss Margaret, but she is most charming here. I love her recollections. Nothing humanizes those in high positions more than when they talk about their childhoods. Her determination and lack of sentimentality are engaging, never more so than when she talks about the King and Queen, and of course her sister. I don't think I've ever seen her in such a positive and sympathetic light.
she is so beautiful! I would see this interview 1000 times!! she is so polite, a relaxing interview ... rest in peace Princess Margaret, now I believe you will be together with your father and together with all Your family!❤️❤️❤️🌹👸
I recently read the autobiography by Lady Anne Glenconner, Lady-In-Waiting to Princess Margaret for around 30 years. Much has been made of HRH's rather waspish and acerbic personality. Indeed, Lady Glenconner mentions this herself, but she explains that what the princess didn't take to was over familiarity from those she came into contact with. As Lady A points out HRH never allowed people, even close friends, to forget that she was a royal princess first and foremost. She hated anyone fawning over her but equally she would not let anyone take liberties. She might have called you Darling or Dearest but you had to always refer to her as Your royal highness or Ma'am, never Margaret no matter how close a friend you were. Fascinating woman.
I agree, John Paul. I've just finished Lady Glenconner's book, and it must have been remarkable tightrope walk to manage, giving just the right degree of deference without becoming either too chummy or sycophantic. In another way, HRH herself was walking a kind of tightrope. It's such a shame that this beautiful, bright, and intelligent woman feel to such a degree: would that a proper, fulfilling role (God forbid, a career was unthinkable) been found for her.
It's always wonderful to hear about historical events from those that lived it. Thank you for uploading this video! Rest in Peace, Princess Margaret ❤🙏🏽
Margaret was clearly genuinely interested in talking about her wartime experiences. I’ve watched this interview multiple times and always try to picture the young beauty of the 40s and 50s and the jet setting partier in 60s and 70s Mustique in comparison with the very grown up way she’s speaking of her memories here
Well she was known to be "rude" but she doesnt seem like it in any of her speeches or interviews....it makes you question if her image was purposely tainted with lies.
she used to also go to bible study there is so much I think was written about her that were lies purposefully set down to destroy her reputation. And she even said she had been misrepresented and misreported since she was 14. In a letter she said she never had anyone to stick up for her. She asked she be buried with her father. I believe bc she thought he was the only one who truly cared for her and protected her.
she also said it herself: "we are two sisters, a good one (the queen) and a bad one or me" I think she is a very Gentile woman and a woman who has suffered a lot after surely her father's death and not marrying Peter.
Very good interview. I think Margaret had a reputation of being entitled and snobbish, but it certainly didn't prove true here. Very warm and engaging.
She was a narcissist. She thought she was all that and a bag of chips. She was racist too. And loved toying with men. People think she was this amazing person because of how the crown portrays her. She did love her family but cared about being rich and her royal title. She was not a good person. People these days think she’s amazing because of her looks. Don’t get me wrong she was stunning on the outside but ugly in the inside. She wasn’t a good person. Very spoiled.
Because sadly the press and programmes like The Crown, although beautifully made, and other TV before it only concentrate on the negative sides of one’s character and amplify them to either sell the news or make TV.
Not at all! Princess Anne hasn't aged nearly as well, and was never as pretty as Princess Margaret in her prime! They don't resemble each other much at all. Princess Anne always looked more like her Prince Phillip than the Windsors.
It's a strange association maybe, but I always think of Anne Frank when I see princess Margaret. They looked so much alike (when she was younger of course).
PM only had seven years to live. Her addiction to tobacco, as was with her father, lessened her life by thirty years. Her last years are in such a contrast to her mother and sister.
@@abshaar13 No one is referring "dorky" in a negative way. I consider myself as one growing up compared to my siblings and nothing's wrong with that, it's just how some people are. In the Monarchy's case, "dorky"( atleast in public eyes) is an asset.
One of the major issues public personalities face, and let’s be upfront about this, is that millions of people feel that they know these people. Because of this, they have to develop strategies that will provide protection. This is also a problem of physical security. They live in a world of constant threat. I once viewed an interview with Pricilla Presley where she explained above Elvis Presley’s seemingly odd behavior. Elvis, because of his fame, could not go out in public without attracting a mob of fans, so he would rent a bowling alley for the evening and take his entourage out for an evening. We forget how famous P.M. was and in what intense, public scrutiny she was destined to live her life. Imagine every aspect of one’s life lived under a microscope. Imagine wondering every minute what friend, foe, ex-lover, or family member was going to betray you for thirty talents of silver to the voracious, British press. I could not live that way; very few of us could. It is not a life I would choose. Princess Margaret had no choice; she was born into a public life with no way of escape. Her Royal facade was her shield. Behind that shield was a vulnerable woman who did the best she could. I wish she had been interviewed many more times. I found this interview delightful. I wanted to protect her. In fact, I think I’m a little bit in love with her. Rest In Peace. You made the world a better place.
It's the best comment i have ever read about this lovely, brave woman....this interview reveals the truth for her character.... unfortunately Princess Margaret was misunderstood mainly because of the British press.
"She was a fanny" ha, sorry what.. rewinds a few times, yup she said fanny... chuckling because I'm British. googles "fanny mechanic "due to it showing Princess Elizabeth driving an army truck... not what I was looking for but good to know they have doctors for that! re-googles "fanny army" , ah.... its anacronym FANY = First Aid Nursing Yeomanry th-cam.com/video/bLrpOP-yi8o/w-d-xo.html
Aranielle B well, when referring to human anatomy, “fanny” has two different meanings-the American and the English interpretations. In America, it’s gentle slang for the backside, in Britain, it refers to a woman’s private parts
The Royals have a one problem Iff some one New came to there familly, and start New Era & became a popular moustlly them they, its start a born on Them a kind of jealousy, and a fight for popularity. But They dont realize that the times change, and everything going on to the future, that's the nature od the human being. All this RulesBook its not for maintenance of Monarhii, but for the outsiders Who gonna go in to the Royals. That what they do with "Diana" She start be a much more popular even the Queen, and her son future King, but they were stupid enough and self-centered enough that instead of helping her and bringing Monarhia into a new Era, maintaining the status of adored by their own people, they preferred to push her out of the candlestick by their irrational selfishness and narcissistic attitude and snobbery that Has allways accompanied the Windsor's from the beginning of Their Reign. Sorry British, and Majesty The Queen!. But that's the trouth
After watching this I feel like I met the most lovely auntie in the world
I bet she was cheeky and funny
Ahahahaha go and look up the anecdotes of her servants and people she generally dealt with.

It’s so lovely to listen to her. She’s so believable and frank.
I am amazed at how sophisticated and delicate she was.
"I couldn't understand why the arm force didn't want service of a girl of twelve" haha, she is adorable.
Gosh you can see her sister in all her mannerisms her laugh sense of humour etc OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW many thanks for this ;)
A joy to see & listen to Princess Margaret. She's very sadly missed.

Yes, very true, and now we have the loss of our beloved Queen. May they rest in peace.
I really love how HRH speaks so highly of her Big Sister.
Radiantly charming. The Queen must miss her terribly. She was a tough cookie deep down RIP ❤️

@@splinterbyrd if she’d been Queen the U.K. would have been a republic for some time
You can see how she loved her father The King very much.
One of the best royal interview.

Wow! I could listen to a three hour program on this subject with Her ROYAL HIGHNESS, WOW, what a title! The Princess Margaret!!! Just wonderful!!!
Wow she comes across so well on this, such a lovely insight.
Yes she does come across as a sympathetic character here. It's such a shame how she descended into debauchery thereafter.
@@stevebbuk I think she had done the "debauchery" by that time. This is 1995 - she died only a few years later in 2002.

LOVED this so much . SO sorry she could not marry her first love maybe her life would have been different.

16:54 very well INDEED
Not only a beauty but very sophisticated was never given the love she needed after her fathers death
Such a different generation.
A very interesting testimonial from Princess Margaret witnessing the end of WW2 as a teen ager
I heard so many stories about her that are negative. She seems like she could be quite human here. Lovely.
Because sadly the press and programmes like The Crown, although beautifully made, and other TV before it only concentrate on the negative sides of one’s character and amplify them to either sell the news or make TV.
they are humans.
She's like a breezy relaxed version of her sister, the Queen. who has to be formal in public.
It gives one the sense of what her sister might be like in conversation as we’ve never seen her in a candid interview.
First time ive heard her speak, seems nice.
Listen to her Desert Island Disc episode!
HRH Princess Anne looks so much like HRH princess Margret especially the older princess Anne has gotten
Not at all! Princess Anne hasn't aged nearly as well, and was never as pretty as Princess Margaret in her prime! They don't resemble each other much at all. Princess Anne always looked more like her Prince Phillip than the Windsors.
