According to TelegraphSecrest writes that although Princess Margaret did not have facial features that are typical of fetal alcohol syndrome, her mood swings, small stathers, learning difficulties and migraine may have been symptoms of the condition.
The Queen’s Mother was known for being a heavy social drinker, and fetal alcohol syndrome was not identified until 1973, which created assumptions that she would not have been advised to drink while she was pregnant.
Princess Margaret was born in 1930, the Queen’s other child, who was then known as the Duke of York and the future King George Vi.
The future Queen Elizabeth was 4 when her sister was born, but the Queen’s Mother is said to be suspended by alcohol during her pregnancy with Elizabeth.
“The sight of wine simply turns me out! Is it not extraordinary! It will be a tragedy if I never recover my drinking forces,” the queen mother wrote in a letter from 1925 to her husband, the Telegraph said.
The outlet reported that Secrest, a nominated Pulitzer price, does not claim that the late Queen Elizabeth experienced any state in the upcoming biography of her sister.

The Queen’s sister had lived a lively life and was nicknamed “Royal Rebel” for her glamorous lifestyle, turbulent love life and lively personality that contrasted with her sister’s no-nonsense strategy for royal duty and the crown.

Secrest, an American writer, is reportedly quoting the work of Dr. Kenneth Jones, who is credited to identify foster alcohol syndrome, in his upcoming text about Princess Margaret and compares Margaret’s life, through existing written sources, with those who have navigated the condition.
However, there is no evidence that the princess had fetal alcohol syndrome.
