- Was the first royal to divorce since Henry VIII.
- The love of her life was Group Captain Peter Townsend, whom she was not allowed to marry because he was a divorced man. She had to choose between him and her royal privileges and chose the latter. It left its mark on her for the rest of her life.
- She decided to marry Anthony Armstrong-Jones in October 1959 on the same day that she received a letter from Peter Townsend announcing his engagement.
- It took her parents, who were anticipating a boy, over 2 weeks to come up with a name for their baby.
- Died three days after the 50th anniversary of her father's death.
- The Queen is the only person who can put on a tiara with one hand, while walking down stairs.
- I have always had a dread of becoming a passenger in life.
- My children are not royal; they just happen to have the Queen for their aunt.
- When my sister and I were growing up, she was made out to be the goody-goody one.
- I have as much privacy as a goldfish in a bowl.
