Elizabeth & Margaret Love and Loyalty (2021) - Having watched The Crown and the media surround the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, including the Oprah interview, I had one daughter here very interested in the history of the current Royals, so she suggested watching this one.
Having been a big Princess Diana fan back in the day (who wasn't though?) I have a pretty okay working knowledge of the current Royals, but I didn't really know a ton about Princess Margaret, so I was curious to see how the stories in this documentary stood up against the stories told in The Crown. It was interesting to me, to see just how a Royal's position diminishes as time goes on and how quickly it happens, once children and grandchildren and then great grandchildren arrive on the scene. You end of being kind of stuck. You are forced to play by the etiquette rules while your Royal position drops steadily down the ranks. You can't help, but notice the parallels between Prince Margaret and Prince Harry and perhaps be able to understand why Prince Harry made the decisions he did.
We watched this on Netflix.
