EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover image from The Sphere magazine, dated May 14, 1960, commemorates the romantic union of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones. The couple's marriage took place at the hallowed Westminster Abbey on May 6, 1960. The front cover of this souvenir issue of The Sphere beautifully captures the essence of the royal wedding, with its intricate design and elegant typography. Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, looked radiant in a gown designed by Norman Hartnell, while her husband, later known as Lord Snowdon, donned the uniform of the Royal Navy. The wedding was a grand affair attended by members of the British royal family and dignitaries from around the world. Anthony Armstrong-Jones, who went by the nickname "Tony," was an accomplished photographer and the first husband of a British princess to hold a title other than prince or prince consort. The couple's marriage was a groundbreaking moment in British royal history, as it marked the first time a divorcee had married into the royal family. This cover of The Sphere serves as a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal moment in royal history, offering a glimpse into the romance and pageantry of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones's wedding day. The image remains a cherished memento of this historic event, showcasing the elegance and charm of a bygone era.
