"Members of the royal family have no right to make a mistake. They must always choose the latter between sentiment and duty, and must not hesitate to sacrifice their own interests for the good of the monarchy. But, as history shows, in every generation of Windsors there are rebels who go against the existing rules and cause a lot of trouble to their relatives. These antagonists become the "spare" princes and princesses, who appoint themselves to the role of the main "villains", because the roles of positive "heroes" are already occupied. But did Margaret really have no choice but to become an anti-hero? "In his new book, royal biographer Andrew Morton attempts to answer this question while maintaining an objective narrative. Turning to documentary evidence and the recollections of those close to the royal family, he carefully reconstructs the dynamics of Elizabeth and Margaret's relationship - through the eyes of one and then the other sister. Thus, the pendulum of reader sympathy constantly changes its direction, making one sympathize alternately with Elizabeth and Margaret. Until the very last page, the author manages to maintain this balance and captivate the audience with an abundance of intriguing plot twists. This is an incredible work in its depth and writing". - Maria Tyumerina, editor of marieclaire.ru
