Following the release of Prince Harry‘s revealing memoir Spare, there’s been a lot of talk around that term and other royal “spares.”
In his book, Prince Harry wrote about Queen Elizabeth’s sister, Princess Margaret, and how much he thought he had in common with his great-aunt. But now a close friend of the late Countess of Snowdon is reacting to Harry’s comparison and insisting that Margaret would have never written anything like what he did about her sibling.

When your job is to smile, be glamorous, and uphold the royal reputation, it's understandable that there would be some pent-up rebellion. Princess Margaret, sister to Queen Elizabeth II, certainly drove against the norm, and didn't earn her Rebel Princess nickname playing by the rules. You may have watched her story unfold in Netflix's The Crown, but this is the true story on how Princess Margaret went the rebellious route.
"No wonder she began pushing at the barriers, smoking in public, enlivening society events by showing off her film star cleavage," said the narrator in the documentary Princess Margaret: Her Real Life Story, noting her "only role was to be glamorously aloof."
The Teenage Relationship
During her teenage years, Princess Margaret began a relationship with Captain Peter Townsend, who was a married man 16 years her senior. Their affair was kept secret early on, but was eventually revealed and considered to be inappropriate.
