Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau in his father’s old 1959 Mercedes 300 SEL on their wedding day in Montreal on May 28, 2005.When Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau secretly married in 1971, she was just 22 years old, and the elder Trudeau was 51. They had met on the island of Tahiti; Sinclair was just 18 at the time.
Margaret Trudeau also raised eyebrows: In 1974, while the couple was in Caracas, Venezuela, Margaret proposed a toast and sang a song she had written herself for the president’s wife. “I felt unfulfilled, unhappy, caught in an old-fashioned marriage. I wanted my own life and my own career,” Margaret Trudeau told The Globe and Mail in 1982.Article content
Still, there had been happiness. During the winters at Harrington Lake, where Canadian prime ministers have a cottage, they played outdoors and baked pies. In the autumn, they harvested maple syrup and in the summer had picnics and barbecues. “It was a wonderful life, but there was all too little of it,” writes Margaret Trudeau in one of her memoirs.
She was also dogged by rumours — which she denied — that she had moved to New York because she was pregnant and wanted an abortion. At the time, Canada was still more than a decade from legalizing abortion. Even their courtship had been tumultuous, with Margaret Trudeau writing in Beyond Reason that she was seized with jealousy when Pierre Trudeau had a candlelight dinner with actress Barbra Streisand and that when he proposed marriage, he insisted that she must be faithful, stop using drugs and “stop being so flighty.”Article content
