1955 "The Public image of Margaret as a gaily mischievous foil to her serious sister is already beginning to change," Newsweek wrote of British royal Princess Margaret, then 24, who was perceived as a "spoiled darling of chance" who "enjoys all the pleasures of royalty but bears none of its responsibilities." While Margaret adopted some official duties during her royal tenure, she nevertheless maintained a reputation of unapologetic autonomy within her world of propriety and tradition. Some royals, like fellow second-born Prince Harry today, simply prefer to take the less conventional route.
