02/10/2002 Entry: "Death of Princess Mararet"
The death of Princess Margaret is a sombre reminder, if any were needed, that position, privilege and wealth are no guarantee of happiness. Although all the commentators that I have heard and read in the last 24 hours are doing their best to be kindly - quite right, too - it is hard to escape the conclusion that she never really found fulfillment or peace. "The princess who was born into a fairy tale and sw it turn into a soap opera" was how one journalist put it this morning. But it's too easy to be smug. Privilege and responsibility, social duty and individual freedom are always difficult to balance.
