Royal Rivalry at Heathrow - Princess Margaret and Princess Anne Clash in Arrival Drama
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Victor Crawshaw, we are transported back to the 7th of June 1971 at Heathrow Airport. The image depicts a fascinating moment when two royal sisters, Princess Margaret and Princess Anne, found themselves embroiled in a playful yet competitive encounter. As the story goes, both princesses were returning from their respective journeys – Princess Margaret arriving from Exeter while Princess Anne had just landed from Oslo. However, fate had an amusing twist in store for them. To everyone's surprise, Princess Margaret touched down five minutes earlier than her younger sister. The photograph freezes the exact moment when the Kittyhawk plane carrying Princess Anne pulls up beside her elder sibling's aircraft. With mischievous delight evident on her face, Princess Margaret playfully covers her ears with her fingers as if trying to block out any potential complaints or protests from her sister. Princess Anne can be seen descending the steps of her plane with a mock expression of disbelief on her face. She jokingly remarks to Princess Margaret about how she was supposed to arrive first – perhaps hinting at their friendly rivalry within the royal family. This snapshot not only captures a lighthearted sibling banter but also offers us a glimpse into the glamorous world of royalty during that era. It serves as a delightful reminder that even members of high society can engage in playful competition and revel in moments of jest and camar
