Whilst holidaying in Mustique, Princess Margaret suffers a stroke and is suddenly forced to
reassess her lifestyle. Margaret is keen to recover in anticipation of her seventieth birthday, but the Queen remains concerned that her party-loving sister will not be able to kick the habits of a lifetime in order to heal. As Margaret’s health continues to decline, she finds herself slipping back into her memories, back to her secret night out with her sister during the biggest party in history: VE Day 1945. The memories from that evening, and what it taught her about her older sister, comfort her in her final days.
Edith Bowman speaks with co-writer Meriel Sheibani-Clare and director Alex Gabassi about exploring Princess Margaret’s final years. Producer Martin Harrison talks recreating 1945 and actor Lesley Manville says goodbye to Princess Margaret.
