“The two of them, the group captain and the princess had called it a day.four years before when she was 25 years old. But when you are royal, nothing is allowed to be forgotten. That is the price to pay for being part of history.”
Craig Brown, Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret

Hilary Mantel
“What can you do but, as Cicero says, live hopefully, die bravely?”
Hilary Mantel, The Mirror & the Light

Erik Larson
“I never gave them courage,” he said. “I was able to focus theirs.”
Erik Larson, The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz

Craig Brown
“It is Cinderella in reverse. It is hope dashed, happiness mislaid, life mishandled. Nothing is as thrilling as they said it would be: no one is amusing, as clever, as attractive or as interesting. The sun never shines as bright as it used to, and even the fiercest thunderstorm lacks any real sense of drama or pizzaz. As the curtain falls, Group Captain Charming has left her for someone more suitable and has gone to live in France, and Buttons, in his zip-up jumpsuit, has taken up with a wearying succession of younger lovers. When Cinderella dies, her little glass slipper is put up for auction, a memento of days of hope and innocence. The catalogue entry reads: 'Only worn once.”
Craig Brown, Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret

Craig Brown
“Princess Margaret felt most at home in the company of the camp: the cultured and the waspish. It was to be her misfortune that such a high proportion of them kept diaries and moreover, diaries written with a view to publication. To a man they were mesmerised less by her image than by the cracks to be found in it.”
Craig Brown, Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret
