Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

Julia (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She seemed to have so much spirit about her."

Charles (USA) on Princess Margaret
"It's hard to categorize Princess Margot as a political diva as her influence was more social and artistic. And I love ALL the divas in this category!  They are all so appropriate. But Margaret was a modern-day Marie Antoinette, somehow out of her time and very very misunderstood. She was also the creation of her own will and character as divas usually are. Those who knew her only as an old, stern-faced woman standing beside her sister need to look up her old photos. She was stunning! Stunning, self-absorbed, brilliant and mis-represented by the press - what a perfect diva!"

Tom (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She had class, style, elegance, talent and dignity."

Margaret (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Princess Margaret is my favorite diva because she has led a very interesting life and is still a very inspirational woman. She has experienced many different roads in life and was a very strong willed woman."

Jodie (UK) on Princess Margaret
"She was the coolest member of the Royal Family and has always stood by the Queen. She has had to deal with quite a lot in her life and has always risen above it and been strong. She deserves some support and recognition. Plus she could be quite feisty at times."

Stephen (Canada) on Princess Margaret
"She was the most beautiful person in the world."

Mark (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Princess Meg was so beautiful and  glamorous, funny, bitchy, silly, devoutly religious yet irreverent and bohemian... just a bunch of contrasts. She just fascinates me. People have told me she was just so glamorous in the 50's and 60's, no one could compare, and I believe it!  She is one of the few interesting Royals."

Roman (Slovenia) on Princess Margaret
"She was beautiful in her youth (1946 to 1960). She always wore magnificent gowns, especially for balls, opera performances and formal dinners."

Karyn (Canada) on Princess Margaret
"She lived her life on her own terms. Plus, she's just fantastic!"

T.C (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Her looks and her attitude!"

Scott (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Aside from that whole Peter Townsend matter in the repressed '50s, old Mags pretty much didn't give a rat's a** what people thought.  I miss the pluckish old broad already."

Colleen (New Zealand) on Princess Margaret
"In some ways a sad person, who gave up her personal happiness for the throne, but still managed to persevere and live life to the full,
regardless of much criticism aimed at her during her life. The last real princess."

Jeanne (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She was the last real princess both by birth and personality,  Impulsive, generous, willful, haughty, intelligent, talented, witty and very very complicated."

Scott (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She was beautiful, a martyr, and lived her life the way she wanted, with no regrets.  Also could be a total royal diva."

Eugenia (Guatemala) on Princess Margaret
"Porque a pesar de ser una princesa rebelde, renunció a su gran amor; más por lealtad hacia su familia y hacia su pueblo, que por cualquier otro motivo."

Rowlands (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She knew her place and used it as best she could. She's a diva because I loved her and tried to emulate her  - my mother said to do so. I've never been sorry."

Sandi (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She was so diva. She did what she wanted, with the exception of giving up title, money for the man she loved. By giving up the man for the above (money and title) I believe this makes her the ultimate diva."

Melinda (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She just is.  She was so beautiful and arrogant, that she gave up her first love so she could keep her title!  She seemed so full of her self in a gentle way.  But she wouldn't buckle down.  She wouldn't give in to authority for anything; no matter how they treated her, she turn her royal nose up at the best of them, even her sister, the Queen of England."

Rose (UK) on Princess Margaret
"She was great, attractive, kind, pretty, sexy. She enjoyed normal things like smoking, drink, partying, sex! She was a normal fun woman that was called a princess. She never forgot that she was a king's daughter and a queen's sister. Margaret is fantastic. She deserves all the happiness in the world. We all love you, Margaret!"

Lowietta (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Her life was one of the most interesting and human ones that I have ever read about. She was always true to herself."

Haven (USA) on Princess Margaret
"When I was a little girl she was young and beautiful. I wanted to be her when I grew up!  And... my middle name is Margaret!"

Betty (Barbados) on Princess Margaret
"Growing up in Barbados, I've always admired this Great Lady. So many of us wanted to be like her. The Barbadians will always remember her as our Princess."

George (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She knew how to do the Can-Can well and how to smoke with flair in public, at the same time pitching it for the arts and culture."

Joyce Ann (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Princess Margaret was an icon for my generation (the Depression era).  As a teenager, I admired her.  She might even be called an early feminist because she balked at the rules of the Establishment.  But she did her duty for her country."

Jodie (UK) on Princess Margaret
"She was a wonderful, beautiful, strong, brave, intelligent, interesting woman who added a very special sparkle to the Royal Family. She was and always will be a true princess."

Barbara Ann (Canada) on Princess Margaret
"The lady had spunk!"

Brenda (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Made the best of a very bad situation."

James (Australia) on Princess Margaret
"HRH Princess Margaret was a true lady. A lady of honour and style. The Princess did not have an easy life but with true style she carried on with that British of all qualities... Grace! A true beauty in all meanings. May eternal light shine on her. God rest her Soul. A true diva."

Judi (USA) on Princess Margaret
"A Lady who did not get the right choices given to her."

Lisa (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Just her quote gets her top vote alone, "I cannot imagine anything more wonderful than being who I am." You go girlfriend! May you rest in peace Princess Margaret Rose."

Heather (USA) on Princess Margaret
"Fun loving and flamboyant, but also a lady of grace."

Dan (USA) on Princess Margaret
"'She was one of the few royals who could be both royal but also knew how to have a really good time."

Tricia (Canada) on Princess Margaret
"... because she has not and will not live the life of a fairly tail princess, but of a real person. She makes mistakes, and has virtues just as anyone else does."

Jill (New Zealand) on Princess Margaret
"... because Princess Margaret is my favourite royal."

Wenche (Norway) on Princess Margaret
"... because she was and still is the 1st. England's Rose!"

Claudette (USA) on Princess Margaret
"... because she never stepped out of character."

Duncan (UK)) on Princess Margaret
"Greatest influence in British history of any female figure."

Denise (Canada) on Princess Margaret
"My favorite High School was named after her."

Karen (USA) on Princess Margaret
"She was the best mother anyone could have!"
