A little history of the space…
Princess Margaret's former apartment was a private residence until 2002 and, following its restoration, was opened to the public in 2004. Former residents have included Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, son of George III, who kept his famous collection of 50,000 books here until his death in 1843; and Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, who moved into the apartment in 1875.
The most famous resident was Princess Margaret who moved to Kensington Palace in 1960 with her then husband Lord Snowdon. Princess Margaret and Snowdon set about transforming the apartment, which had lain vacant after Princess Louise’s death in 1939, into a more contemporary home for their family whilst still retaining many of the 18th century features.
