After 25 years of marriage, The Earl of Snowdon, the son of the late Princess Margaret, and his wife the Countess of Snowdon, are separating.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the couple said: “The Earl and Countess of Snowdon have amicably agreed that their marriage has come to an end and that they shall be divorced. They ask that the press respect their privacy and that of their family.”
David Armstrong-Jones, and Serena got married in 1993, and birthed two children, Viscount Linley, Charles Armstrong-Jones and Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones-who was one of the bridesmaids at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s royal wedding in 2011.
The Queen has a close relationship with her sister’s children as she took care of them at a time.
Christopher Warwick, Royal biographer, in 2018, shared an insight into their lives away from the spotlight in the documentary, Princess Margaret:The Rebel Royal.
He said: “Margaret and Tony had no compunction about going off on holiday and leaving the children behind. Very often, they were left in the care of the Queen – the Queen had David and Sarah, you know – and they loved it.” He added: “Princess Margaret was a good mother, but more especially when the children were growing older. She wasn’t really the most maternal of women, so she wasn’t particularly interested in babies and toddlers.”
