Princess Margaret has died. How sad, and what terrible timing for the Queen. She’s just commemorated the fiftieth anniversary of her dad’s death, and now her sister’s gone. I’d never heard the tragic love story of Margaret’s affair with Captain Peter Townsend. What a terrible choice to have to make.

  1. What a ridiculous thing to be made to choose. Viva La Republica!
    …or something…

  2. Well, especially since she ended up being the first royal since Henry VIII to get a divorce. I mean, marrying a divorced guy has to be less mortifying than that. (Not to mention the fact that Henry got divorced lots…)
