Who Was Princess Margaret?
Princess Margaret was born in Glamis Castle, Scotland in August of 1930 to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother). She had an independent spirit from a young age, and often clashed with her mother over the expectations for how she should behave as a princess. Despite these conflicts, she was always devoted to her family and dedicated herself to carrying out her royal duties.
Margaret passed away in London in 2002 at the age of 71. She remains a widely-respected figure in British history for her courage, determination, and strength of character. Born into royalty at a time when Britain still had an empire, she grew up in the spotlight and became known for her glamour, beauty, and unconventional personal life.
Princess Margaret is remembered fondly by the general public for her dedication to charitable work and her role in supporting the arts.
