3.0

 I ordered this book after binge watching The Crown on Netflix, because I was eager to learn more about Princess Margaret. I had never really learned anything about her, though I have several books on Queen Elizabeth II. I think Margaret had a really difficult time. She seemed far less diplomatic than her sister, but she seemed exuberant, and like she could really command the room. I was very interested in her relationships, because of the show, and I felt terrible for her after reading about her struggles there. I also felt terrible for her living in the shadow of her sister. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a royal, and also be the sibling of a monarch. I was very pleased with this book.
