Marger-ate because she ate that. People say they struggle with this book because Margaret is an ‘unlikeable character’ but i found her unintentionally hilarious and no offence to my girl but more interesting than elizabeth. It was maybe a deliberate choice based on Margaret’s jealousy of her, but at the start of the book

Margaret mentions how much she wants to see the queen suffer and suffer losing her son, yet when she plots to have the princes in the tower killed she says nothing about revelling in Elizabeth’s misery at this, which i think she definitely would.
