Margaret of Connaught was a true rebel—a devoted mother, a secret war hero, and a bridge between the old Victorian world and a modern era. Her life reminds us that history is often stranger (and more tragic) than fiction. <br><br>She was only 38 when she died. Do you think Margaret would have changed the face of royalty if she had lived to become Queen? <br> Tell me your thoughts below! 👇 <br><br>📚 Archives used in this research: <br>• The garden that we made, by the Crown Princess of Sweden (née the Princess Margaret of Connaught): <a href="https://bit.ly/41DYZD0">https://bit.ly/41DYZD0 </a><br>• Daisy – the flower princess: <a href="https://bit.ly/4c31bZK">https://bit.ly/4c31bZK </a><br>• The 'Daisy' exhibition in 360°: <a href="https://bit.ly/4mbGKyq">https://bit.ly/4mbGKyq</a><br> <br>💖 Support the Channel: <a href="https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/NGB6FQF22L28Y">https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/NGB6FQF22L28Y </a><br>🔔 Subscribe for more: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@framedbyhistory">https://www.youtube.com/@framedbyhistory </a><br><br>Thank you so much for watching!💖

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1RpyekigSg&t=732">12:12</a> ok this one fact instantly makes Maragret one of my new favorites Royals. I can't ice skate to save my life but my kids have played since they were toddlers because their Dad & Grandpa played. My oldest just turned 17 in March & he was played since he was a toddler so hockey is a major part of my life, whether or not I've wanted it to be 😂😂

Margaret was by no means the only British princess with a decided artistic talent. Her aunt, Princess Louise, was a professionally trained sculptor, and her aunt Vicky (Empress Frederick) was a very good painter, taught by some of the great portrait painters of her time. Louise and Vicky were sisters of Margaret's father, Arthur. <br><br>Queen Victoria herself painted in watercolours and had a great love and appreciation for the arts. <br><br>And the family talent continues to show. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh (whose mother, Princess Alice, was the daughter of a cousin of Margaret's, Princess Victoria of Battenberg), painted very well, and so does King Charles. And let's not forget Lady Sarah Chatto, a professional artist of great talent. <br><br>Crown Princess Margaret's granddaughter, Queen Margarete of Denmark, is a fabulous artist and designer as well.
