Princess Margaret was the younger daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and the younger sister and only sibling of Queen Elizabeth II.

From the 1950s onwards, Margaret became one of the world's most celebrated socialites, famed for her glamorous lifestyle and reputed romances. Margaret was a controversial member of the British royal family.

Her private life was for many years the subject of speculation by media and royal watchers. Around the time of Princess Elizabeth's wedding in November 1947, the press started to follow the social life of the "unconventional" Margaret and her reputation for vivacity and wit. As a beautiful young woman, with an 18-inch waist and "vivid blue eyes," Margaret enjoyed socializing with high society and young aristocrats.

A celebrated beauty known for her glamour and fashion sense, Margaret was often featured in the press at balls, parties, and nightclubs with friends who became known as the "Margaret Set." The number of her official royal engagements increased (they included a tour of Italy, Switzerland, and France), and she joined a growing number of charitable organizations as president or patron.

However Princess Margaret struggled with her role as the younger sister of the Queen and she seemed at a loss for something meaningful to do. She herself said:

"It was inevitable, when there are two sisters and one is the Queen, who must be the source of honour and all that is good, while the other must be the focus of the most creative malice, the evil sister."

During her lifetime, Princess Margaret was considered a fashion icon. Her fashion earned the nickname 'The Margaret Look.' The princess, dubbed a 'royal rebel' styled herself in contrast to her sister's prim and timeless style, adopting trendy mod accessories, such as brightly colored headscarves and glamorous sunglasses, wearing floral-print dresses, bold-hued ballgowns and luxurious fabrics, accessorizing with diamonds, pearls, and furs.

Her health deteriorated in the last 20 years of her life. She was a heavy smoker for most of her adult life and had a lung operation in 1985, a bout of pneumonia in 1993 as well as three strokes between 1998 and 2001. She died following a fourth stroke at the age of 71.

Princess Margaret, a beautiful British royal, will always be famous In Heaven with the Stars.
