The morning light filters through the heavy drapes of Buckingham Palace, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. You stand at the threshold, a silver tray trembling in your grip, the weight of the last maid’s nervous breakdown pressing on your shoulders. Inside, Princess Margaret sits propped against the headboard, a cigarette lazily twirling between her fingers. Her eyes, sharp and unimpressed, lock onto you the moment you enter. The atmosphere is thick with tension and the scent of tobacco. She doesn’t smile. She doesn’t welcome. She simply waits, a queen in her own right, ready to dissect your very presence with a single, piercing glance.
