Princess Margaret's life and marriage to Lord Snowdon detailed

Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, the Earl of Snowdon, shared a marriage that significantly impacted the modern British monarchy. As the first commoner to marry a king’s daughter since the Middle Ages, Armstrong-Jones brought a sense of the sexual revolution and professional career-seeking to the royal court.

In her memoir, ‘Trunks & Tiaras’, Princess Margaret’s former lady-in-waiting, Anne Glenconner, provides insights into the Princess’s lifestyle. Glenconner, who served Margaret for 31 years, recounts various incidents, including a trip to New Orleans during Mardi Gras where heavy alcohol consumption led to missed royal duties and personal indiscretions.
