Sisters and Best Friends

Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret were born four years apart but that did not stop them from forming a very close relationship with each other. Apparently, Princess Margaret called her by a special nickname, “Lilibeth”. They were glued to the hip and they made sure to remain in touch even after they got married and lived in separate homes. Apparently, the Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace shared a direct phone line which must have made communication much easier for the sisters! Princess Margaret was a rather controversial member of the royal family thanks to her divorce, heavy smoking, and numerous relationships with different men.

Princess Anne The Award-Winning Equestrian

Isn’t it impressive to learn that Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II have been married for over seventy years already? Together, they have welcomed four lovely children into the world. However, the couple only had one daughter, Princess Anne. Like her mother, the princess also has a special fondness for horses. In fact, she even enjoyed a successful career as an equestrian. She managed to snag the gold medal for the European Eventing Championships in 1971. She holds the title for the first Royal to have competed in the Olympics as well.
