In the premiere episode of FATAL FORTUNES, we delve into the compelling life of one of our favorite British royals, Princess Margaret (1930-2002). When Margaret’s father King George VI suddenly dies in February 1952, her older sister Elizabeth takes the throne, becoming Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 25. This changes everything… As Princess Margaret grapples with grief from losing her father, she grows deeper in love with King George VI’s–and now Queen Elizabeth II’s–equerry Group Captain Peter Townsend (16 years Margaret’s senior). The only issue is that Peter is divorced, a forbidden element in royal marriages.

As Margaret and Peter’s whirlwind romance intensifies, the Church of England, Parliament, and Queen Elizabeth II block the possibility of marriage. If they do get married, Margaret will be blacklisted from her royal life as she knows it. Princess Margaret must make a crucial decision… Love. Or the Crown.
