The Queens Sister, written by award-winning writer Craig Warner, follows the trials and loves of this complicated, glamorous and controversial member of the royal family. The story - a witty, irreverent romp - spans four decades; from her childhood in which she displayed a gift for music and performance, to a much publicised prohibited love affair in the '50s and her rebellious bohemian life in the swinging '60s through to the private isolation of a woman rejected by her world.

In a life dominated by the press and paparazzi, Margaret's story reads like a parable: A woman who's every move was instant news. Hers was the first royal wedding to be televised, and hers the first divorce of the royal household. Margaret was subject to intense press scrutiny throughout. The drama reveals a woman trying to dispense with the formalities of her privilege while instinctively crushing anyone who didn't treat her with the deference she thought she deserved.
