Dubbed by many British tabloids as the brokenhearted Princess, Margaret of Windsor, Queen Elizabeth's sister, recently passed on (the night of February 8, 2002).  She is the first daughter of a Windsor king who has undeniably had at least four lovers, probably quite a few more.

The pictures of Margaret's naked breasts with her boy toy sitting next to her in a Caribbean love nest were plastered on the pages of a British tabloid.  The pictures ultimately proved to be the catalyst for the end of her unhappy marriage.
