This is my absolute favourite scene! Vanessa Kirby's face expression when she hears "But..." I think that she was even better than the real Margaret. She is my favourite Crown actress. :-)

[LukeKetchum]

Has Vanessa Kirby won any awards for this performance? Because she deserves an Emmy. I would never stand between two people who truly love each other. 💝💖

[mattdavis]

Such a brilliant but terribly sad scene...both sisters are heartbroken here imo....

[lordalessan]

Elizabeth and her then Prime Minister Anthony Eden actually devised a plan where Margaret could keep Peter and the privileges, the only catch is that their kids are not part of the line of succession. However, Margaret decided not to marry Peter. It was never known if she knew about the plan or not.

[Graceearl]

Princess Margaret was never the same again when she was denied her forever love and soul mate. She never loved another like Peter for the rest of her life. I felt very sorry for her.

[lazaromurad]

Vanessa's voice is SO powerful! beautiful!

[machinshin]

it's so amazing to me ahow a single family has so much power, money, and strictures of *LAW* on what they're allowed to do w/ their lives.. it's such total madness

[rhettjanes]

I feel so sorry for princess Margaret they showed more sympathy to Charles than they did Margaret

[elijahbee]

I would have just gave up the title and kept the person I loved and wanted to marry..her popularity being associated as a Royal, QE II sister would have made her some income and noterity in America, especially since she was the party, limelight sister.

[TheRealDeal]

I’m sorry but if I was Margaret in this scene, told by my own sister, a person who is my sister before she was ever Queen that I could marry him but never be a part of the family again, I would have gladly walked away. I would have told her exactly this, “I would rather have him than this system we are born, forced into doing every day, pushing away any feeling. You got to have Phillip with no cost to you but he sacrificed everything to be with you. Now I am going to do the same for Peter. I am going to sacrifice everything to be with him. I wish you well in your reign, Queen Elizabeth. Goodbye.” I would have stood up then bowed, leaving without saying another word to her. Peter was Margaret’s true love to the end of her days. Yes, she found Tony and there was some love between them but eventually that love turned into bitterness, rage and sorrow. It never would have turned that way with Peter. Love this scene. Thanks for uploading.

Philip actually gave everything that was part of his life; his titles; his name; and eventually his naval career! So yes imho, it does not compare!

[concessa_]

I can hear the clock so clearly, my goodness

[jamiete-whau]

Then years later she allows her daughter to retain all the privileges and titles and marry her divorcee

[LifeOfTheParty]

Years later, her son, the adulterer becomes King and head of the church she tried so hard to protect.

[nylotus]

Yet she bent the rules for Camilla the tramp. Such hypocrisy.

[ericmartin]

When Margaret knew she was going to end up a housewife, she changed her mind...

[mrwolfuk]

She could have left the family but chose money and status over love. Why must I feel sorry for Margaret again?

[patrickkyteler]

Excellent scene and a shame Margaret was denied her true love. This denial was one of the biggest mistakes of Queen Elizabeth's reign. It set in motion a series of bad marriage decisions that affect the royal family to this day. After this, the queen never denied marriage, even when she should have. As for Margaret, it would have been a good match. Peter's experience and by all accounts calm demeanor would have tempered Margaret's excitable nature. BUT it was more than just about the line of succession. Margaret would have had to give up her HRH and as a nonworking member of the royal family get cut off from the money. Why do you think Harry did that documentary and book? The security costs alone are ruinous. Margaret tried to find love again, and maybe she did, but neither her marriage or other romances could be sustained. One has to ask oneself, was giving up happiness in love worth the palace lifestyle? I think not.

[Mali-D]

Karma - her children but one all divorced and her heir married a divorcee.

Love how the title of this video is as posh and upper class as you could possibly go.
