Royals
Her close friendship with Mick Jagger needs screen time.
Queen Elizabeth is (unsurprisingly) mortified to hear about her sisters antics when relayed to her.
However, this behavior seemed on par for Margaret both on screen and in real life.
Her reputation doesnt stop there.
As a royal, Margaret lived a life of luxury and privilege.
They never did, perhaps for the better.
Due to royal protocol, however, the band couldnt eat until Margaret left.
George Harrisongrew so famished he outright asked the princess to leave so they could eat.
Your highness, we really are hungry and we cant eat until you two go.
She obliged, saying, In that case, wed better run.
Hollywood Royalty Vs.
The film stars were reportedly furious that they wouldnt be seated with Margaret and Armstrong-Jones.
So they up and left… And they didnt come back.
The Hollywood couples alleged distaste didnt stop there.
In a 1969 diary entry, Burton writes of an engagement that he and Taylor had with the princess.
He didnt think the royal was all that exciting.
In the same year, however,Burton flirted heavily with Margaretin front of Taylor.
So, how infinitely boringly uncomfortable could she have been?
The actor donned her massive 33.19-karat Krupp Diamond ring.
When noticing it, the princess reportedly said, Is that the famous diamond?
She backtracked moments later, asking Taylor if she could try it on.
As Hollywood lore has it, Taylor responded, Not so vulgar now, is it?
At one point, Armstrong-Jones snarled, Wheres my f***ing dinner?
which left Margaret in tears.
He and the band were seated for the entire incident.
You know, how bizarre can life in the Elton John Band get?the singerwrote.
We end up watching Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon screaming at each other.
Mackin On Mick Jagger
Margaret and the Rolling Stones frontman reportedly met sometime in the 60s.
They got along well and even regularly telephoned each other.
She found him sexy and exciting,a courtiertold Jaggers biographer Christopher Andersen.
Whether or not they were ever more than friends remains the stuff of British folklore.
One thing is certain, though: thequeen never liked Jagger.
(This would have been a great plotline forThe Crownsince it did involve the sovereign.)
Manville declined Bowies invite and ultimately left the island early because she wasnt feeling well.
Now, just imagine the Rolling Stones needle drop that would perfectly punctuate this scene.
