irincess Margaret was like the little
girl who wanted to have her
cake and eat it, too. She tried
to be both a princess and an ordinary
human being. The result: indigestion.
She loved the trappings of royalty,
the applause of the crowds, the robes
and diamonds, the respectful "ma'am"
she rates even from her circle of
intimates. But she also liked American
jazz, show people, pink champagne,
and her own way. This conflict made
her more interesting than her one
dimensional sister, who is the perfect
picture of a Queen of England. But
it has caused her many troubles.
Elsa Maxwell, who is one of
the American entertainers Princess
Margaret finds amusing, tells a re
vealing story about Margaret. Elsa
was once invited to sit in the royal
box at a London concert. The music,
according to Elsa, was awful. After
ward the Queen and her husband
smiled and applauded as usual, bow
ing graciously to artists and audience.
So did Princess Margaret, except that
while she was beaming and bobbing,
she was muttering, not quite under
her breath: "Booooo Booooo."
