Was the real Princess Margaret as attractive as this actress?
None of the Royals pre-Diana has been physically attractive. Was Princess Margaret the exception?

I disagree. The Queen was a beautiful woman and she and Phillip made a very handsome couple. And by all accounts (countless photos etc), show that PM was a very beautiful woman. The only huge difference was that unlike the actress who plays her, Margaret was tiny at just 152.4 cm (5 ft).
shareTake a look on Google and make up your own mind. I agree that Margaret is the better looking sister in the show, though.
shareI think Elizabeth was attractive, but Margaret was lovely:

She was gorgeous, wasn't she

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I fully disagree with you about real Margaret and real Elizabeth - Margaret was prettier. I think both actresses are well cast bc neither is more or less beautiful than the woman she portrays, and Foy does bring to mind a younger Elizabeth, but her characteristics, including her unsmiling general demeanor, vague coldness, and nondescript speaking during lectures - very spot on.
shareOne person in the family that threw me off was Princess Anne. She was very beautiful in her younger years.

But around the time she was 30, whoa, she went downhill pretty fast. Most of the family members lose their looks around the age of 30. Margaret, as an older women had a very hard and weathered look to her, but that can be chalked up to her partying and drinking and smoking. The current generation is very unfortunate looking, especially Prince Andrews daughters.
wow - thanks for the picture links! very barbara streisand on the Vogue cover.
prince william was such a stunner but is losing his hair early (not always a bad thing - israeli men just shave it all off and boom, they're hot as heck! but in william's case, oo no, baby) and quickly coming to resemble his father charles more and more. harry is still very sexy, but then i love gingers - please G-d, let prince harry age like diana and not like charles!
Can't really gauge hotness of the princes as I am a guy. However, William and his wife are the oldest looking 34 year olds I have ever seen. Harry looks his age and seems to have more spirit, a person you would be able to hang with, I don't get that feeling with the Cambridge's. Even his girlfriends, who is beautiful seems cool. I wonder how accepting the Royals would be with black in-law,lol.
Charles actually isn't bad as he is almost 70. He certainly has more hair than his eldest son.The baldness actual comes from the Spencer side.
meh, charles was never near as handsome as either of his sons. but i feel you on william and kate looking old for their age, in spite of their perfect appearances as a family, which is rather lovely and inspiring. i think they must have enormous pressure on them at all times, and this show gives us some sense of that - just being ON ALL THE TIME. and with all that pressure, william and kate - and harry - are elegant, kind and graceful and generous with others. i LOVE it that harry chooses meghan, and i'm sure her being biracial is of no consequence to him, other than possibly him being a person who can admire her whole background. when in kenya, harry says that he feels the MOST at home there. wow. over england? yeah. he's so down to earth and cool. i guarantee you she will receive a warm reception, once harry and meghan are more serious. harry is beloved by all of those people, and i've heard elizabeth's favorite.
not to say the family has no racism, but half of her background being african american - these are people who claim dominion over parts of africa, and claim to love it as their own. they can do no less than love meghan as their own, if their relationship progresses.
Think of Oprah pics before she became "Oprah" With money not so good with money...well you know
shareThey were both very good looking, despite having plain parents. They seem to have dodged the Hanover curse too - bulbous eyes, stockiness etc like Victoria and Edward VII and Beatrice today.
sharei think they were both lovely back in their day. better looking than most of the Royals! lol
shareShe was cute but not as cute as the actress.
I think Elizabeth was perfectly OK looking. She wasn't really a knockout but she had none of the bad traits of her immediate family. She had a little of the buck tooth thing. But she was always smart to not smile and keep her mouth closed. And it wasn't nearly as prominent as in Charles. She looked like a normal pretty English girl.
I think young Elizabeth was just as attractive as a young Dianna.
Most people thought I was a hero for killing Lydia's parrot.
You can't judge attractiveness today vs in the 1950s. The standard of what is beautiful changes over time. I think Margaret was good looking, judging by old photos. But definitely not in the same league as the actress who portrays her. But for 1950, maybe she was. It's hard to tell.
