This is a famous photograph of Princess Margaret taken by her husband Tony Armstrong-Jones, a professional photographer. Her love shines through her eyes. Also her boldness, bohemian nature and sense of humor. This biography combined interviews, parodies,dreams,lists,catalogs,diaries and essays. Glamorous,beautiful but never found her way in this world.Sad. Helena Bonham-Carter was excellent in “The Crown” as Margaret.#booked2022 #aboutarealroyal

21st century Trish thinks there is no place in modern societies for monarchies.
Also 21st century Trish- endlessly fascinated by stories of monarchies 🤷‍♀️ go figure.
This one always end the same though 😢
A good read, thank you Victoria 😘

JillR @trishb you summed up my feelings perfectly! Also, I‘ve always had a fascination with the Romanovs in particular, adding this to list! 2y
TrishB @JillR it‘s weird isn‘t it! This was a good read - concentrating on the sisters. 2y

LeahBergen Great review! I‘ll try to move it up the TBR. 😆 2y
Bookwomble I get your feeling, Trish. I wander around National Trust stately homes admiring the architecture and loving the artworks, while muttering about the exploitation and inequality which they were built upon. 2y
EvieBee I adored this one. Equally fascinated with monarchs. 2y
TrishB @LeahBergen 👍🏻 2y
TrishB @Bookwomble what would we do without the stately homes for a weekend visit and the very over priced shops we all love 😁 2y
TrishB @EvieBee 👍🏻 hard not to be! 2y
Cinfhen They are a fascinating bunch / so tragic 2y
Cinfhen Great review ♥️ 2y
Birdsong28 Glad you enjoyed it. 😀 2y
CarolynM I'm with you. No time for the aristocracy but fascinated by it nontheless? It's a "know thy enemy" thing. 2y
TrishB @Cinfhen very tragic 😢 2y
TrishB @Birdsong28 👍🏻😘 2y
TrishB @CarolynM that‘s a good way of putting it! 2y
Cathythoughts I like 21st century Trish , yes I can relate to these contradictions 😄 2y
TrishB @Cathythoughts it‘s just hard to let go of them! 2y
Centique I‘m just the same way! I think part of it is because there is so much more information left behind about royals and nobility from history - I wish for more information about the lives of the peasants and servants but there‘s not a lot. And I also have to read all the Romanov books… it‘s an addiction 😂😂 2y
TrishB Agree totally @Centique 2y
