Princess Margaret's Daughter Walked Away From Her. Nobody In The Family Blamed Her

On February 9, 2002, Lady Sarah Chatto sat at a London hospital bedside and watched her mother, Princess Margaret, die at 71. She had been born 7th in line to the throne in 1964, the only niece Queen Elizabeth II would ever have, and raised inside a marriage that a televised 1960 wedding had sold to 300 million viewers and that biographers later described through hidden notes and cold silences. When her parents divorced in 1978, the first senior royal divorce in 77 years, she was 14. And then she did the one thing no one else in that family managed. She disappeared on purpose.
