Craig Brown's 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret-Glib Gossip

Craig Brown (b UK 58) is a critic, satirist and journalist.  Brown's " Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret" does not constitute a biography.  The book is laden with tidbits of gossip gathered from numerous "insiders" to the Royal Family.  To call these rambling, remote anecdotes titillating is a droll understatement.  For Anglophiles or the parasocial public obsessed with celebs & the Royal Family, they will likely lap up every ludicrous and seemingly lascivious morsel of immoral or inappropriate behaviors of the Royals.  Perhaps the common folk feed of what the no so simple folk do.  Princess Margaret being #2 as like her nephew Prince Harry @ #2 behind his older brother (and #3 behind Charles whose never gonna get his spot on the throne) they have similar reasons for being naughty and not nice.  But did anyone not already know about her affair with the much older married equerry, Capt. Townsend and then chucked him when it came down to being cut off at the purse strings.  I didn't know of the supposed lust of Picasso after the Princess.  But, who knows since they never met.  At least 5'4" Picasso would have towered over the 5' petite, Princess with a purported 18' waist and bodacious bod.  E-god, why share Picasso "could picture the color of their {Queen Elizabeth & Princess Margaret} pubic hair." The mini-series "The Crown" may have rekindled or captured a new generation of fans who desire a voyeuristic foray into aristocracy and the Royal family.  Anglophiles will lap this mishmash of incoherent references.  Brown's 99 glimpses are self-indulgent insider name droppings.  I critique this critic's work as a rag tag frivolous mixed bag.  "Ninety-Nine Glimpses..." will garner Royal groupies and readers of the NY POST who love its cover (as do I) and page 6.  I command you to 86, 99.
