1960 Announcement Antony Armstrong Engaged Engagement Fiance Jones Margaret Marriages Snowdon Telegram
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of joy and excitement as Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, and her fiancé, Antony Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon, read through telegrams of congratulations following the announcement of their engagement in 1960. The image, taken at Clarence House in London, shows the couple sitting side by side at a table, surrounded by piles of telegrams, with beaming smiles on their faces. The announcement of their engagement on February 3, 1960, came as a surprise to many, as Margaret was the first royal to marry a divorcee. The couple's unconventional love story and modern approach to royal life made headlines around the world. Their wedding on May 6, 1960, was a grand affair attended by thousands, and marked the beginning of a happy and long-lasting marriage that produced two children, Lady Sarah Chatto and Lord David Armstrong-Jones. This photograph is a testament to the couple's happiness and the outpouring of support and well-wishes from the public following their engagement.
