With unprecedented access to royal archives, conversations with Margaret's closest advisors, and never-before-granted interviews with Margaret's husband, Lord Snowdon, and son, Lord Linley, this book by Tim Heald offers unique insight into the life of the princess. While the biography is written with all the respect and historical context you'd expect from Heald—who was Prince Philip's official biographer—it also doesn't shy away from the party-girl antics that made Margaret unique. A great read for anyone looking to learn about the princess, warts and all.

Written with unique wit and style, this book from author and journalist Craig Brown takes 99 moments—most real, some imagined—from the life of the late princess and uses them as opportunities to glean larger truths about who she really was. From encounters with the likes of Pablo Picasso and John Lennon to private family moments and experiences in the public eye, the events the smart, dishy read shares give an entertaining (if slightly skewed) view of Margaret from perspectives never before explored.

This book, written by Margaret's authorized biographer and with the cooperation of the princess, is notable for its deep research and attempts to correct the idea that Margaret wasn't serious about the importance of her role. In his writing, Warwick underscores Margaret's commitment to charity and her efforts to drag the British monarchy into the modern age. The biography was also updated after her death to help put her final years in context and provide a fitting sendoff to a singular figure on the world stage.

Biographer Kitty Kelley has unleashed her occasionally poisonous pen on a wide variety of boldfaced names, from Frank Sinatra to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. In this tell-all investigation into the House of Windsor, which was published in 1997, she turns her eye to Britain's royal family and dishes serious dirt on Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and, of course, Princess Margaret. The book wasn't released in England because of strict libel laws (and in the U.S., its release just after the death of Princess Diana earned it a mixed reception), but it became a bestseller and remains one of the most talked-about royal books out to date.
