Beginning Quote by Matthew Bourne
“My interest in Princess Margaret comes through Vanessa Kirby's brilliant portrayal of her in 'The Crown.' Rather than do the classic story from beginning to end, this book gives you many different glimpses. You get a much more intimate sense of the person through little incidents, stories, and gossip.”
![“Some of the biographies [of princess Margaret] were really sensationalist, News of the World sorts, but they were great because they also gave first and secondhand accounts of her at home. The butlers come forward and give little moments, some of which you discard and some which ring somehow true…” quote by Vanessa Kirby](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d80/vanessa-kirby-7869_accounts_some-of-the-biographies-of-princess-marg_1201074.jpg)
![“I knew she was a party girl. The book I liked most on her was called [princess] Margaret: A Life of Contrasts and getting to know her, it was how conflicted her position and her internal life - or self - was. She is so fiercely royal and so fiercely "sister of the queen" or "daughter of the king"…” quote by Vanessa Kirby](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9d4/vanessa-kirby-7869_book_i-knew-she-was-a-party-girl-the-book-i-l_3186926.jpg)
![“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.” quote by Vanessa Kirby](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dad/vanessa-kirby-7869_bases_i-started-to-really-enjoy-the-fact-that_2223180.jpg)
![“I would argue [princess] Margaret is the tragic figure of the century.” quote by Vanessa Kirby](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/82f/vanessa-kirby-7869_arguing_i-would-argue-princess-margaret-is-the-t_109274.jpg)
![“That's exactly how I felt. So getting to suddenly know this young [princess] Margaret, who had this extraordinary life - it was sad and tragic and difficult and sort of astonishing and getting to know her young self was amazing because it completely defied all my expectations.” quote by Vanessa Kirby](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9a4/vanessa-kirby-7869_astonishing_that-s-exactly-how-i-felt-so-getting-to_2923810.jpg)
![“[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.” quote by Vanessa Kirby](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e4f/vanessa-kirby-7869_actresses_princess-margaret-was-loud-an-extrovert_1745053.jpg)
