Netflix portrayed the most partying member of the British Royal Family in an emotional chapter and recreated in ‘The Crown’ one of the most important celebrations in the life of Princess Margaret. Here we tell you about it.
After seven years, The Crown, one of Netflix’s most famous series, came to an end. The story of British royalty captivated millions of viewers and became one of the strongest contenders during awards season, thanks to the performances of Claire Foy, Olivia Colman and other performers such as Emma Corrin, Josh O’Connor and John Lithgow . Going from the youthful period of Queen Elizabeth II to her consolidation as monarch of the United Kingdom, the journey of the series was quite long.
This 2023 was the year in which Peter Morgan, creator of the Netflix original program, decided that The Crown should conclude and so last month the first part of the final season premiered, while the six new episodes arrived in the catalog of the platform on Thursday, December 14. Fans of this television production were eager to know where the end of the story would go, since the climax of the first batch of chapters had been quite heartbreaking to watch.
Now without the presence on screen of Lady Di (Elizabeth Debicki), the writers of The Crown focused once again on Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton), as well as Prince William (Ed McVey), but they also did not leave aside one of the most important characters in the series: Princess Margaret. Played by different actresses during her youth and adulthood, her character was later handed over to Lesley Manville, who was in charge of bringing her to the screen during her final years.
It is in episode 8 of season 6, titled “Ritz”, in which Netflix shows one of Princess Margaret’s most remembered parties. Interspersing her present with a flashback to the Victory Day celebration in 1945, she and her sister ‘Lilibeth’ escape from Buckingham Palace to celebrate free at the Ritz, the same hotel where she would celebrate her birthday 70 years later and he would spend some of the best moments of his life with his sister; This was remembered by the queen in an interview with Godfrey Talbot in 1985.

After suffering two strokes, the character also played by Helena Bonham Carter celebrated her birthday in 2000 at the Ritz Hotel, in a luxurious ceremony to which she arrived in a red Rolls-Royce accompanied by her son, Viscount Linley. Wearing a silver ensemble, the princess welcomed 140 of her friends and family to the London hotel’s luxurious restaurant for her banquet, which was also attended by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip (Jonathan Pryce).
Despite her weak state of health, the princess put aside the wheelchair she used to move around and climbed the six steps that led to the Ritz restaurant alone, impressing the press and her own guests. As well as her sister and brother-in-law, there were also her daughter Lady Sarah Chatto, actor Roddy Llewellyn and singer Dame Cleo Laine.
