Princess Margaret: A Life Unravelled

The young Margaret Rose was the apple of her father's eye, enchanting, talented, witty and artistic. But on Elizabeth II's ascension, the King's beloved daughter became the Queen's sister - a royal nobody, overshadowed by her family. The last of a unique reed, this beautifully and sexually alluring woman, whose reputation for naughtiness added to her glamor, became a celebrity in her own right - a flirty, hard-living party girl, who achieved worldwide fame as one of the most intriguing figures in post-war Britain. With unparalleled access to papers in the Royal Archives, and those closest to her, Tim Heald's vivid and elegant account does justice to the Princess's complex, enigmatic and compelling character.
