Celebrate the rapier-like wit of the royal rebel, the late, great
Princess Margaret - or 'Ducky' as she was known behind closed
doors. Even as a child, Princess Margaret - younger sister of
Elizabeth - was noted for her theatrical and witty demeanour. Her
nanny, 'Crawfie' described her as a 'born comic' and her sister,
now Queen Elizabeth II, remarked that parties were always better
with Margaret in attendance as she made everyone laugh. She made
John Lennon blush and Pablo Picasso was infatuated with her - and
she made no secret of her intolerance for the dim-witted, the
disobedient or the boring - and her one-liners are legendary: On
considering that Elizabeth would one day be Queen, Margaret's
response was one of sincere commiseration, 'Poor you', she told
her. Attending a high-society party in New York, the hostess asked
politely how was the Queen? 'Which one?' Margaret replied coolly,
'My sister, my mother, or my husband?'
