Thanks Duc_et_Pair.
I always find your posts - on many different threads - very interesting.
If you check post #10 on the previous page Kronprinz, there are photos of The Queen visiting Princess Margaret on Mustique, with the Duke of Edinburgh.
They did not spend the night, but slept aboard Royal Yacht Britannia.
I'm not sure if I posted it or not, but there is a first-hand report from someone, (a lady-in-waiting perhaps), about the Queen being able to swim on one of her visits there.
How she was able to have a very small taste of her sister's more free lifestyle - and how she was able to avoid being photographed in a swimsuit by being on Mustique.
I think The Queen visited Princess Margaret there three times.
There are lots of articles and videos about the Mustique lifestyle with information about William, Catherine, the Queen etc, on the internet, but I have not posted them all, as some details are not savoury.
For example, Colin Tennant's Karma Sutra illustrated tent that Princess Margaret was filmed in for a lunch after Les Jolies Eaux had been sold by her son - she had to stay with friends on that occassion.
The documentary makers caught her realising what she was looking at, and she made a hasty departure. That tent is also on the internet, up for sale.
Prince Andrew took Koo Stark to Les Jolies Eaux and there are a couple of photos of them in the pool.
A lot of information, youtubes and photos are on the internet nowdays. There are quite a few first-hand reports of the nude frolics, open-air sexual adventures, some shady characters etc. A lot I chose not to post.
Even first hand accounts of the food that Margaret and her house-guests ate - even down to the brands.
Although a beautiful place, food was not the high standard of a lot of tropical resorts these days - the logistics were harder then. Home-owners would fly out from the UK with large hams in their luggage to give themselves something to eat.
Roads were dirt tracks, mosquitoes were a big issue - Colin Tennant said to have gone broke trying to eradicate them.
But still, the idea of being free in a warm and sunny climate to go down to your private beach to swim and shall we say, experience other activities. All with close friends and company - such a different life for the Princess, where even behind Palace doors, a level of formality and ritual must have been stifling.
