We always imagined that life inside the walls of Buckingham Palace was glamorous, but we could never have guessed how decadent Princess Margaret’s morning routine used to be.
According to a chapter from the book Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret, a biography written by Craig Brown, the queen’s late sister used to have a luxurious routine that started at 9 a. m. with “breakfast in bed, followed by two hours in bed listening to the radio, reading the newspapers (which she invariably left scattered over the floor) and chain-smoking. ”
