In this paper we describe how we can exploit the current status of magnetar observations to draw a non‐trivial conclusion regarding their structure. Specifically, we take two observational results, viz that magnetars do not seem to precess, and do not have magnetic axes either parallel or orthogonal to their spin axes, to argue that either their crusts are maximally strained, or that the stars contain pinned superfluids. We speculate on some possible further consequences of the ideas developed in constructing this argument.
