HOW very sad that so little has been written - or said - about the tragic death of dear Princess Margaret.

She was the very caring, devoted sister of our Queen, and deserves a great deal more attention by the media.

She gave up so much of her personal life to serve her Queen and country, and if Elizabeth had remained childless would have become the next Queen.

Apart from a few hours recognition by BBC TV on the morning after her death, her passing hardly merited a mention. Following Princess Diana's death - a very mixed up girl - the media spent hours and days mourning her loss.

Goodbye dear Princess, and thank you. We all loved you very much.
