Princess Margaret was one of the most controversial royal figures of the twentieth century. Widely admired as a young woman, she was famous for her beauty and charisma, but also for her sense of loyalty and duty.

Every factual claim in these pages was checked against its primary source before it reached you. Where the machine reached past what the evidence actually showed, the check caught it and the claim was corrected — that happened here, and there is an entry in the back about a number this book's own first draft got carried away with. A registered, practising doctor then reviewed the results and is accountable for ...

Até que meu irmão deixou escapar que eu sou o dono da boate e tecnicamente era o chefe dela. A terceira vez que a vi, eu estava bêbado de novo, quase pelado, de cabeça para baixo em um pole dance.
