Queen Elizabeth II SECRETLY Hated Her Own Sister — Here's Why

Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret: did the Queen really hate her own sister? This documentary uncovers the true story behind Margaret's doomed romance with RAF Group Captain Peter Townsend and the rumor that has haunted royal history ever since. From their close childhood bond and the 1936 abdication crisis that made Elizabeth heir and Margaret what many call "the spare," to the Church of England's ban on remarrying divorced people, the 1772 Royal Marriages Act, and the 2004 National Archives papers that complicate the famous legend, this video traces how duty, not hatred, shaped their relationship. You'll hear Margaret's own 1955 renunciation statement in full, and learn how the sisters spoke almost daily on a private phone line between Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace for the rest of their lives. This is the documented history behind one of royal history's most repeated rumors, not the version you've seen on television. Subscribe for more true stories.
