Desc: The Early Life of Princess Margaret: Directed by Finlay Bald. With Vivienne Pettitt, Christopher Warwick. Princess Margaret was well-known for her glitz and beauty, her passion for nightlife, the arts, and her regular media appearances. She battled throughout her life to strike a balance between her obligations as a member of the British Royal family and her independent spirit and artistic temperament. Despite being the subject of rumours, tabloid speculation, and scandal, the Princess' romantic relationships were crucial in modernising Royal love. Coming of age at a unique time when celebrity culture and tabloid journalism were beginning, her status as the younger sister to the Queen of the Commonwealth and her natural beauty made her one of the most famous faces in the world. People who came into contact with her could be perplexed by her swings between frivolity and formality. She was a glamorous, charming and informal individual who stood out amongst Royal stereotypes.
