The Queen's Sister
An in-depth biopic of Princess Margaret from the days following her father's death in 1952 until the 1970s. She was known to be a flamboyant royal but she remained a stickler for protocol. She had many controversial romances and also infamously kissed the daughter of the US ambassador. Also the film gives some focus on what others thought of Margaret, from normal people of the era to a backbench MP opposed to her 1961 wedding. Written by Reece Lloyd

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a portrait of Princess Margaret by contrasting her rebellious private life with the rigid protocol of the monarchy. It relies on historical scandals and public perception to explore the cost of personal desire within a gilded institution.
What lingers after viewing is a poignant sense of a life perpetually overshadowed, where love and defiance are stifled by duty. The tragedy feels both personal and systemic. — MovieFinder Editorial

With a pot of Earl Grey tea on a quiet afternoon, immersed in post-war aristocratic ambiance.
