1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: This is jem nation with Prince Harry's book Spare, the

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: name of it says what you get an air and

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: a spare in the royal family, that was a big deal.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: We've got our heir. The other ones just there, and

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: he obviously has struggled with the connotation of how people

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: have viewed him. The same goes for Princess Margaret, who

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: was the Queen's sister, and they weren't born to be

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: air and spare. They were going to be nieces of

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: the king, but when Edward abdicated, there they were. Suddenly

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: they were going to be the Queen and the spare.

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: And it's the same sort of thing, even though it

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: was a different era, and that she was a woman

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: in a different era. For Princess Margaret, all the privilege

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: and none of the purpose. And that's what was hard

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: for her because she fell in love with a married man.

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: He was a divorced man. I think he was part

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: of the royal household in terms of military sense or

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: looking after the horses or something, and she fell in

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: love with him. They want to be married, and it

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: was the Queen's hard job to tell her, well, I'm sorry,

21
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: but as as the head of the Church of England.

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: I cannot allow this. Wow. So he was Margaret, who

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: wasn't royal, was royal, but she she wasn't the queen,

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: and yet her life was impacted by all of that.

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: And that's what they say from the very early days,

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: and particularly if you watch The Crown you'll see all

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: this play out, is that her dissatisfaction with, oh, I

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: can't live as I want to live. I don't get

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: the purpose that my sister has, but I'm still not free.

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: And their siblings, that's so hard. And they were very

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: very cool, Charles with Andrew saying to him, you can't

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: have any more powers in here. That's right, very very

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: and Margaret hadn't had any discretions. She just fell in

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: love with the wrong with a person who had been married.

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: So she went on to marry Lord Snowden. But he

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: had a lot of affairs and it was a kind

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: of a talk to take pictures for Playboy. He was

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: at well, he was a world famous photographer, that's what

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: you mean. Yeah, But also he took all the royal

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: portraits as well, clothed he was clothed. Don't know about them.

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: But I was reading an article about her morning routine.

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: So the Queen would get up and have to look

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: through the boxes, which is all all the information. She's

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: the head of the Commonwealth. Here's Margaret's routine. She'd begin

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: her day at nine am with breakfast in bed, followed

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: by two hours in bed listening to the radio. I said,

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: I'm listening to our show. She's passed away. I would

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: have enjoyed it. So she wakes up at nine, lies

49
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: in bed, and then listens to the radio and starts smoking.

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: While she's reading the newspapers. Her staff find the newspapers

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: all over the floor, so that's how she spent she

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: was combusting. Perhaps at eleven o'clock she'd take a bath. Ooh,

53
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: she wouldn't shower. She'd take a bath, followed by having

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: her hair and makeup done at her dressing table and

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: a vodka picked me up at twelve thirty. She never

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: walk clothes more than once without having them laundered, and

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: then so she'd get changed, you know, around lunchtime. What

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: a way to spend your morning. Every morning, at one

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon, she would join the Queen mother

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: for a four course lunch that included half a bottle

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: of wine per person and then they'd have fruits and cheese.

62
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: Apparently the queen also liked the liquid lunch. I don't

63
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: know if she did that every day of a life,

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: but this was Margaret's everyday routine. So then in the

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: afternoon she sort of had Hollywood friends and blah blah blah.

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: But of course this was the morning routine before you

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: actually actually went out and had a social life in

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: the afternoon. In the evening, she also smoked sixty cigarettes

69
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: a day. In those days, everyone smoked sixty cigarettes a day. Though, Yes,

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: but when you look at the life that the queen

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: had to live, and this is what you see play

72
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: out in The Crown the earliest season is she says

73
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: to the Queen, I don't have any purpose, and the

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: queen says, look at the life you can live. I

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: can't smoke sixty cigarettes and have it off with Mickjay

76
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: I want to do all of that. I can't do

77
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: any of those things. Well, that's the rumor. That is

78
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: the rumor, so that she had it off with Mick Jacobs,

79
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: that she was entwined with all of those of course,

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: you're getting all the action, getting all the action, and

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: you've still got your crown, and there's the Queen just

82
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: sitting there, going, oh great, I'm going to sit here

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: and sign forms about austray what about my needs? Yeah,

84
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: So that's the Queen. The Princess Margaret's morning routine. How

85
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: unlike the home life of our own, dear Queen. I

86
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: don't know about having a bath in the middle of

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: the day but at any time. But a bath at night,

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: at the end of a long day can be very nice.

89
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: A bath in the morning, yack, You don't wash off

90
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: any grime you sit in it. Sometimes I'll have a

91
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: shower after a bath because I like bubbles in the bath,

92
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: not the monkey. And then and then, you know, you

93
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: don't feel like you've cleansed. You were instantly. Didn't you

94
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: go out? It's hard not to be in a bath.

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: I know that's what you're going to say. Didn't you

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: go to a fancy, high end resort. I did. He

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: ran the bath for it, not only spoke. She got

98
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: a deck of cards out of a variety of spiritual wildflowers,

99
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: and I had to inture it and pick my favorites.

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: And then she put those flowers in the bath. I

101
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: got in and wei it wasn't a communal bath. Let's

102
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: just say the Turkish bath house won't let me back

103
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: in the room. She wasn't waste of time, she wasn't there.

104
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: It's very hard not to in that warmth and Aka
