An Homage To Princess Margaret's Head, Unsung Star Of 'The Crown'

Queen Elizabeth's well-coiffed, hat-donning sister was more great hair than heir apparent.

Ever since Season 4 of “The Crown” was released on Netflix, fans have spent much of their time reliving and dissecting every moment of Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ relationship.

Meanwhile, we’ve been focused on other, less tangled things: Princess Margaret’s undeniably on-point hair and hat collection.

Margaret, portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter at this point in the beloved series, shared a love of style with her sister Queen Elizabeth, but in the show as in real life, reigned supreme when it came to larger-than-life hair and headwear.

Below, 18 incredibly coiffed Princess Margaret moments.
