“Everybody has an image of [princess Margaret], to a certain extent. But I felt it would have been harder if we were playing them as they are now. In a way, I don't know how much of a living memory we as a collective have of them in the '50s, when Margaret was 21 and this sort of Elizabeth Taylor. You don't think of your grandparents as being teenagers. You just can't - your brain just can't go there!” IfsThinkingKnowsWayHas BeensCertainFeltMemoriesBrainKnow HowHarderTeenagerCollectivesPrincessGrandparentThink Of YouBeing A Teenager Author:Vanessa Kirby
“That's exactly how I felt. So getting to suddenly know this young [princess] Margaret, who had this extraordinary life - it was sad and tragic and difficult and sort of astonishing and getting to know her young self was amazing because it completely defied all my expectations.” KnowsSelfYoungFeltDifficultExpectationsExtraordinaryTragicPrincessAstonishingOrdinary LifeExtraordinary Life Author:Vanessa Kirby
“I knew she was a party girl. The book I liked most on her was called [princess] Margaret: A Life of Contrasts and getting to know her, it was how conflicted her position and her internal life - or self - was. She is so fiercely royal and so fiercely "sister of the queen" or "daughter of the king" because that is her identity and it's all she's ever known. And at the same time she is struggling to push the boundaries and to break away from it, to be different or to modernize the monarchy, to turn it on its head.” KnowsBookDifferentSelfTurnsGirlPartyKnownBreakStruggleIdentityPositionKingsDaughterBoundariesQueensInternalsPrincessContrastRoyalMonarchyParty Girl Author:Vanessa Kirby
