Upset Princess Margaret at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation #queenelizabeth #royal #royalfamily #crown

That makes complete sense it’s not jealousy it’s just her big sis had so much going on she wasn’t getting as much attention and familial support that she was used too

Margaret & Elizabeth were very very close. Had been their entire young lives. As Elizsbeths life changed & she had other things to attend to, Margaret felt she was losing her best friend. It was the beginning of her trying to find her place in the world. And the sisters had been raised in very sheltered lives.

...and I have to live with my mother.

I think this tells us the main reason she was glum.

[snopure]

Even princesses are affected by life changes. The realization that things, including relationships, would never be the same again, must have hit her suddenly like a ton of bricks.

I was the youngest of 4 kids. My 2 older sisters were only 18 months and 3 years older than me. We were so close, that we were considered triplets sometimes.
Both my sisters got married within 6 months of each other @21 and 22 years old. 2 of my best friends got married around the same time, and a 3rd friend went travelling around the world and lived overseas for 3 years as a nanny. This all happened in the space of 2 years.
My world collapsed. I was still living at home and nothing had changed and yet everything had changed for me. I see it now looking back 20+ years later.

That was a lot for anyone to deal with, especially at such a young age

[gailboyd]

Princess Margaret had feelings tha she was dealing with. Can' t smile off every
thing. RIP dear Margaret❤

"Had to live with my mother" says it all

[markc-ruqz]

She was never jealous of her sister and she never upstaged her. She had enormous reverence for the monarchy but she didn't want to be Queen. She loved being a royal with few responsibilities and flouting it's conventions.

"...and I had to live with my mother"
Ouch.

[lauraleicathell]

That would do it!
I loved my mom, but she could put me on edge.

[ArmyTiny-nzod]

she means she can't hang out and spend time with her sister since Lizy became Queen

[constancedenchy]

Margaret, of course, was grieving her Father. His death was so unexpected. I'm sure living with her mother, the absence of her father, loomed even larger...while Elizabeth was very busy with her new role. I'm sure Elizabeth was grieving, too, but she had Phillip

[edemontfort]

It was the sudden shock that Elizabeth was queen and their father was gone. The girls had been close all their lives. She was probably experiencing a combination of grief, feeling alone, and fearing that nothing would be the same after that.

[annemiekevogt]

Yes she had the right to be so sad her life was changed so much that year 😔❤️

"And I had to live with my mother!"
That was the Queen Mother, who Diana said, was not human.

[oceanfive]

And she was most likely worried for the queen, I mean she had just lost her father due to the stress of the crown and now she’s watching her sister take on that responsibility, Margaret valued family especially her sister

[nadine]

Wow, such timeless beauty, including the lady in waiting

[ilovebeinagirl]

I personally think Margaret was the most beautiful princess EVER when in her prime. But also, she was pining over Group Captain Peter Townsend too, so that was probably weighing on her mind.

I was curious about this at Charles’ coronation as well. That would have to be a very bittersweet event playing out in public.
