Reviews
"Deliciously detailed, sometimes gossipy, often moving, this in-depth examination of royal siblings is sure to be in demand."-- Booklist, "[Morton] has gleaned snippets about these two remarkable subjects from private records and insightful insiders. The dual portrait that emerges is of powerful women who cared for one another as best they could in the roles that fate assigned."-- BookReporter, "Biographer Morton ( Diana: Her True Story ) examines in this vibrant history the 'push-and-pull between... deep love and primal jealousy' that bonded Queen Elizabeth II and her younger sister, Princess Margaret... Royal watchers will be enthralled."-- Publishers Weekly, "Thoroughly researched and well written, the most comprehensive account of the complex relationship between the Queen and Princess Margaret to date. Fascinating and enjoyable." -- Sarah Bradford, New York Times bestselling author of Elizabeth

Synopsis
Perfect for fans of The Crown , this captivating biography from a New York Times bestselling author follows Queen Elizabeth II and her sister Margaret as they navigate life in the royal spotlight. They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward Vlll decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more Margaret would have to curtsey to the sister she called 'Lillibet.' And bow to her wishes. Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister's antics with a kind of stoical amusement, but Margaret's struggle to find a place and position inside the royal system--and her fraught relationship with its expectations--was often a source of tension. Famously, the Queen had to inform Margaret that the Church and government would not countenance her marrying a divorcee, Group Captain Peter Townsend, forcing Margaret to choose between keeping her title and royal allowances or her divorcee lover. From the idyll of their cloistered early life, through their hidden war-time lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father's death and Elizabeth's ascension to the throne, this book explores their relationship over the years. Andrew Morton's latest biography offers unique insight into these two drastically different sisters--one resigned to duty and responsibility, the other resistant to it--and the lasting impact they have had on the Crown, the royal family, and the ways it adapted to the changing mores of the 20th century.

    Purchased several items from this seller. What arrived was not what was advertised. Instead, I received a drop shipped box from Amazon that did not have the boxes advertised within. Tried to contact the seller multiple times. The seller will NOT respond to anyone’s messages. Had to go through eBay to initiate a return and a return label. Seller did not originally provide one, but told eBay they did. eBay had to create a forced return label. The whole experience was horribly stressful :((
