There is no chance of my marrying Princess Margaret. — © Roddy Llewellyn
There is no chance of my marrying Princess Margaret.
I started to really enjoy the fact that [princess] Margaret was an exhibitionist. Even on a day-to-day basis, Margaret's costumes were always so much more dramatic and bold than Elizabeth's were.
[Princess Margaret] was loud, an extrovert, an exhibitionist, loved fashion, loved color, loved music, loved drama, loved the theater, wanted to be a ballerina or actress, was always the little one putting on the school plays, and [princess] Elizabeth reluctantly did it and got stage fright.
[Princess Margaret] was always trying to radicalize things.
Marking the differences between them was really important. It just became second nature. When we were choosing pajamas or something, instantly you'd be able to spot: those are [princess] Margaret, those are [princess] Elizabeth. It became this sort of language, really, of the two sisters.
I would argue [princess] Margaret is the tragic figure of the century.
Oh, my Margaret--my Margaret! no one can tell what you are to me! Dead--cold as you lie there you are the only woman I ever loved! Oh, Margaret--Margaret!
Of course I took advantage of the publicity that surrounded my friendship with Princess Margaret.
Everybody has an image of [princess Margaret], to a certain extent. But I felt it would have been harder if we were playing them as they are now. In a way, I don't know how much of a living memory we as a collective have of them in the '50s, when Margaret was 21 and this sort of Elizabeth Taylor. You don't think of your grandparents as being teenagers. You just can't - your brain just can't go there!
I really enjoyed stepping into that side of [princess Margaret] and being silly and naughty and fun.
I was such a Jewish princess. My whole life was leading up to marrying a rich man and living on 48th Street.
In Princess Margaret I found a fine friend who could steady my restless nature and offer wise counsel.
I watched tons of archive footage of princess Margaret and listened to the music she loved; that was really immersive and brilliant.
I want to be old Princess Margaret, without a doubt. Kaftan wearing, Caribbean island-dwelling... that's my inner spirit animal.
It was always said you couldn't have two sisters less alike. In a way [princess] Elizabeth was always internalizing everything and [princess] Margaret was always externalizing everything, so that became the basis. The storyline becomes about these two sisters: they're fighting for their position or trying to establish their identity in the world alongside each other and in relation to this establishment which only those two were a part of.
That external struggle mirrors the struggle of this life force of energy that [princess Margaret] was.
Most business mistakes are irreversible setbacks, but you get another chance. There are two things in life that you don't get another chance at - marrying the wrong person and what you do with your children.
