Princess Margaret
Whether you can say Princess Margaret’s mental health struggles were deliberately hidden or simply not taken seriously in the era she dealt with them is up for debate. Regardless, the princess has been compared to Prince Harry – both of whom lost a parent early in life, were publicly shamed for falling in love with their person of choice, drank excessively, and struggled with depression.
According to biographer Andrew Morton, Princess Margaret’s mental health struggles were purportedly brushed past by Queen Elizabeth II on an occasion when the princess threatened to jump out of a window at a party, and the host called the queen for help. According to Morton, Queen Elizabeth reportedly replied: “Carry on with your house party. Her bedroom is on the ground floor.”
When speaking about health in the royal family, Morton wrote, “They lived in a world where illness was dealt with by going for a long walk, and mental illness was ignored altogether.”
