The Royal family is meant to be a role model to the nation, the epitome of duty and sacrifice, but then along came Princess Margaret, the 60s bombshell who became one of the most photographed women of her day.  The Queen's little sister was determined to live her life exactly as she wanted, even if that sometimes meant bringing the monarchy into disrepute. Even as a child Margaret was a mischievous and rebellious princess who loved being the centre of attention; her shy sister Elizabeth was more 'strait-laced'. As the future heir, Elizabeth's life was clearly mapped out but Margaret 'the spare' did not have that same security. When her Father George VI died Margaret was devastated and sought solace with the King's former equerry -  Group Captain Peter Townsend, a divorcee. It was the first in a series of scandalous romances for the rebel princess. Scandal continued to plague Margaret when she was papped in the 70s on the island of Mustique with her lover Roddy Llwellyn, 17 years her junior. During a time that the country was experiencing economic hardship, it looked as though Margaret was swanning around with her toy boy. She was frequently criticized for not pulling her royal weight. Margaret suffered from ill health in her later years, before dying of a stroke in 2002. Her funeral reflected her love of life, many of the mourners at her funeral were the artistic and bohemian friends she had made during her turbulent life. A royal rebel to the last, she broke with royal tradition and was cremated.
