Let's talk about morning routines, shall we? For some of us, it's all about grabbing a quick shower and rushing out the door with barely enough time for a cup of coffee. For others, it's about waking up early, savoring a peaceful breakfast, and diving into a good book. But let me tell you, when it comes to luxury and indulgence in the morning, the late Princess Margaret had it all figured out.
According to a new royal biography by Craig Brown, Princess Margaret’s mornings were nothing short of extraordinary. Every day, she began her routine at 9 a.m. by enjoying breakfast in bed, accompanied by the day's newspapers and a couple of hours of radio listening. By 11 a.m., she indulged in a luxurious hour-long bath, ensuring she was completely relaxed and refreshed. Afterward, her personal maid would assist her in dressing, making sure she wore something fresh and elegant, never repeating an outfit.
Princess Margaret's Signature Day
By noon, Princess Margaret's morning was just getting started. At 12:30 p.m., she would have her first drink of the day—a revitalizing vodka, no less. This wasn’t just a casual drink; it was her pick-me-up before lunch. And lunch? Oh, it was an event in itself. She would join her mother, the beloved Queen Mum, for a lavish four-course meal served on silver dishes. The meal was a harmonious blend of elegance and informality, with both ladies savoring half a bottle of wine each.

A Life of Glamour and Drama
Princess Margaret, the second daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, passed away in 2002, shortly before her mother. As depicted in Netflix’s hit series "The Crown," she was known as the "party princess," embodying a vibrant and colorful lifestyle. She mingled with the crème de la crème of society, rubbing shoulders with legends like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Her fashion sense was impeccable, often championing the designs of Christian Dior, making her a style icon of her era.
Her personal life, however, was not without its share of drama. Married to photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, who later became Lord Snowdon, the couple had two children: Lady Sarah Chatto and David Armstrong-Jones. Despite their union, the marriage wasn't a happy one, leading to their eventual divorce in 1978. Additionally, she caused quite a stir in the late 1950s when she became engaged to her father's former equerry, Peter Townsend. Unfortunately, due to the complications surrounding divorce at that time, they were unable to marry.
