Unfortunate, because those two deserved each other.

Margaret, was also reportedly 'furious' that a foreign-born divorcee had been allowed to marry into the royal family, particularly after she had been prevented from marrying divorced RAF officer Peter Townsend in 1953.

Ironically, Margaret herself flirted with Catholicism later in life having struck up a close friendship with a Catholic priest named Derek 'Dazzle' Jennings in 1981 - although she never publicly converted.

Princess Michael of Kent is one of my favorites. Yes, she's a bit haughty, but she's also very well-spoken, intelligent, witty and a student of history. She knows her stuff, and the books she has written are fascinating. She is a loyal defender of the crown and has represented the monarchy with dignity and class whenever called upon.

Anybody care to speculate how long the marriage to Townsend would have lasted if she'd been allow to marry him? I'm very interested to hear what one's thoughts are.

Margaret was much haughtier and pompous than Marie-Christine, who for all her headiness is a down-to-earth ol' gal when she wants to be. Watch a couple of her interviews on YouTube. Princess Michael is very forthcoming, fascinating and normal.

This sounds like more of a blessing than a punishment.

The British royal family refer to her among themselves as "Our Val," because she was once so tall and is so Germanic she reminded them of a valkyrie.

Princess Michael looked like a super model next to short plain Margaret. This was the real issue.

But not because she’s a racist.

That’s revealing.

However, Princess Margaret ALWAYS approved of my jewelry selections.

R7 Five years tops. Margaret was never going to be happy living with the help.

Margaret really was an unattractive little dumpy creature. Even in her prime she was fug.
