Princess Margaret once gave her sister the Queen a dressing down in front of the Prime Minister by claiming “nobody would talk” to her if she was not the reigning monarch, according to a royal author.

Her Majesty was in a private meeting with a Prime Minister, who has not been named, and was interrupted by Margaret storming into the Queen’s drawing room in Windsor Castle.

Margaret had reportedly been frustrated over dropping in the line of succession and was therefore seeing her role in the Royal Family decrease when it seemed to boil over in an outburst.

According to Andrew Morton, author of Elizabeth and Margaret: The Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters, he believes that the Queen’s sister had “jealousy” but was also “loyal”.

However, that did not stop Margaret from telling the Queen her thoughts in front of one of the most important people in Britain.

Speaking to Vogue, Mr Morton said: “On one occasion Margaret slams into the Queen’s drawing room at Windsor Castle whilst the Prime Minister was there; she walks in and, in addressing her, says, ‘If you weren’t Queen, nobody would talk to you’.”

According to Mr Morton’s book on the sisters, a young Queen once remarked that “Margaret always wants what I’ve got.”

While Margaret felt as though she was second best in the family and admitted that she would always be even in death.

In Elizabeth and Margaret: The Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters, Margaret said she is “still playing second best after all these years, I guess I’ll be second best to my grave.”

CNN's Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter also commented in 2020 documentary Princess Margaret: Rebel Without A Crown, that the Queen and her sister use to fight.

She said: “Marion Crawford, their governess, had said they didn't hesitate to argue and fight.

"Elizabeth apparently had a good left hook whereas Margaret wasn't shy to bite her sister in return."

Although Margaret and the Queen had their rows, the Princess was always loyal to her elder sister and cared for royal duty, despite being known for wild antics that caused her to be dubbed the “rebel royal”.

Margaret was known for favouring a party lifestyle and even brushed shoulders with celebrities and musicians during a visit to Hollywood that saw her banned the next time she tried to enter the US.

She sadly passed away in 2002 after months of battling with poor health.
