But he had no good title or places, he was a photographer. Margaret was enjoying the fruits of some of the great social changes that were beginning to appear in this period.
He then started to keep a non-elite company. A very Bohemian company. Lady Elizabeth-Cavendish
hosted a dinner party in February 1958 when Tony Armstrong Jones was one of the guests and Princess Margaret had never met him before.
I think Anthony Armstrong-Jones' influence was to introduce him to the situation.
He was smuggled into the back of a motorcycle, hidden in a scarf and black sunglasses, and taken to Armstrong Jones, a rented apartment on Rotherhive street.
The Princess said it was a very romantic place and this is the hole in their boat. It had a harbor window overlooking the Thames.
He looked to the right and then to the left and to the left there was a bend in the river and saw Tower Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral across from it. And when the tides were high, he said the ducks would look in.
Stirling Their relationship was kept secret, so the country was shocked in February 1960 when Princess Margaret's engagement to the photographer was announced.
Their wedding was in Westminster Abbey on May 6, 1960. It was the first royal wedding to be broadcast on television Millions sang around the world. I think that as a sister, Elizabeth was so happy that Margaret was able to find a man she loved.
I think that as a queen, though Armstrong-Jones was unworthy, she was not a public figure at all, it was giving Margaret the status of a true heretic for the best they could hope for.
Princess Margaret at the time was very popular! Everything he did make news, everything he wore became news.
So when he married, this was a special occasion. Everyone was terribly happy with that splendor
of marriage.
And Princess Margaret looked beautiful and was a vague photographer and everything seemed modern and how it should be.
Everything was a great experience. I mean, I remember when I was a schoolboy, I fell in love watching this on TV.
Happy Despite the excitement of the day and the birth of two children in the years that followed, the marriage soon became a nightmare.
Infidelity, drugs, and alcohol damaged relationships and ended. I think the two worlds are very much in conflict.
Armstrong-Jones' Bohemian free life and Margaret's unwillingness to give it up with, we might say, all accouterments wealth and fame and basically, majesty.
It was a very close relationship. And even though she was a princess and not royalty, I think she had a high hand.
Margaret had always been the kind to approach him in royal disgrace.
He had more loyal friends than he did because he always seemed to come out of it, in terms of society, rather than where he never spoke] Respect for kingship was a thing of the past.
Newspapers published exciting reports about Margaret's breakdown. It was far from a change in Britain during the reign of Elizabeth.
During his Silver Jubilee in 1977, the division of the old classes and social unrest was over. The British Empire had become a Commonwealth of independent nations.
The crown, Elizabeth, was the rope that bound them. While leading the monarchy and the nation through hardship and conquest, his sister Margaret was left helpless.
He may have been an icon in the 1950s and 60s, but as the decades passed, his star declined.
Like her father, Margaret was a heavy smoker for much of her life. Like him, he would face consequences.
From the late 1980s, her health began to decline. After many severe strokes, he died on the 9th of February, 2002. He was 71 years old.
In the relationship between Elizabeth and Margaret, there was this bond of love between them that existed from the time Margaret was born until the day Margaret died.
At her funeral, the Queen probably expressed the most public feelings we had ever seen in public when I thought her eyes expressed the sadness she was feeling.
Dealing with the death of your younger sister whom you would expect to live with until old age is very difficult. - When the princess dies, that was painful for the Queen, followed by seven weeks on the death of his mother.
He reportedly said his biggest dream was to lose his mother and sister. And that is what happened in 2002. Stirling Princess Margaret's life, though fortunate, was sad in many ways.
Margaret was a flawed woman and often worried. He did not have the heavy responsibilities of his sister but also had no guarantees.
I think what Margaret did was extended to the limits of what is acceptable for a woman in her position. This, I think, has created an example and more breathing space for young teens to enjoy even the world of celebrities, something close to normal life.
Day after day, her life took a turn for the worse. He had some very interesting friends.
He went to the ballet, went to the theater, read books, was careful and interested in things. He loved music and was not tired.
He also helped to make the empire modern, bringing it into what was then the 20th century. Stirling To His Sister, Queen, however, his history is still being written.
The monarchy has proven itself under the leadership of the Queen to be flexible, flexible, and something that can be regarded as a stable institution and something that can change.
And show new values. I think that, more than anything else, in Britain's self-image as a postwar nation, he was convinced.
He was criticized, his family was severely criticized, and by being the only one who kept talking frankly, the results were good.
The world they ended up living in when they were very old was one where the social system died and many celebrities and media outlets were still emerging.
In Margaret's case, you can say that she was the product of those revealed years. In Elizabeth's case, she managed to become an artist.
