Synopsis

This is a biography of Princess Margaret. Her life has been a balancing act; she has spent the greater part of her life torn between meeting the exacting standards of the monarchy and flouting its long-established conventions. She has spent her life surrounded by wealth and all its trappings, but, it appears, despite it all, she has led an unhappy life. She has been described as tragic, a royal maverick, a woman of conflict, and a princess without cause.

Review

"Theo Aronson's latest royal book is a model of what a royal biography should be... The problems of being a princess in today's monarchy are vividly implicit in every page... I found the book eminently readable in an easy style that lends itself to wit and irony..." Elizabeth Longford, The Tablet; "Aronson's strength is his style: he is an elegant writer who can handle the broad picture and the telling detail." The Daily Telegraph"
