Princess Diana shocked the Royal Family and the world when she took part in her candid Panorama interview. But according to reports, Princess Margaret saw Diana's interview as a "betrayal," and she urged other Royal Family members to cut off the former Princess of Wales.
In the 2021 book Elizabeth & Margaret: Inside the Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters, Andrew Morton wrote (via the Daily Mail), "Margaret experienced a deep sense of hurt and betrayal as she watched Diana's historic interview." As a result, she reportedly cut ties with Diana altogether. "Not only did she cut off all contact with the princess, she also made it clear to her children that she did not want them fraternizing with the enemy," Morton explained.
