Throughout her life, Princess Margaret, sister of Queen Elizabeth II, earned a reputation as the rebel of the British royal family due to the controversies she was involved in.
She smoked and drank uncontrollably, and her love life was under constant scrutiny after she was forbidden to marry the love of her life, airline captain Peter Townsend.
Margaret was known to defy the rigid rules of royalty, and even bragged about it.
how many times was princess Margaret married?
Princess Margaret’s love life was controversial.
At the age of 20, she met Royal Air Force Captain Peter Townsed, a married father of two, 16 years her senior.
Margaret and Peter had a secret relationship, and when they announced their intention to marry, the Church and the monarchy refused to allow them to marry.
Peter was then sent on a special mission to Belgium, and by the time he returned in 1955, they had drifted apart.
In 1958, Princess Margaret met photographer Tony Armstrong Jones at a photo shoot.
From there, they began a secret romance in Armstrong Jones’ London studio, culminating in a wedding in 1960.
They had two children, David and Sarah. After the wedding, the photographer was given the title of Lord Snowdon.
Eventually the photographer became bored with life in the royal family and the two began to get on very badly, with Margaret and Peter having major arguments.
This contributed to an increase in infidelity and the Princess became an object of ridicule.
After a series of romantic failures, Princess Margaret sought solace from a variety of people.
Among them was the pianist Robin Douglas. She also found support from a friend named Antony Barton and, rumor has it, from celebrities such as Mick Jagger, lead singer of the Rolling Stones, and actors Peter Sellers and Warren Beauty.
Princess Margaret’s last love was a landscaper named Roddy Llewellyn, 17 years her junior.
They met secretly at the Princess’s Caribbean paradise until their relationship became public knowledge after they were photographed together in 1976.
This provoked another scandal with her still-husband, Armstrong Jones, who took the opportunity to leave their home at Kensington Palace and officially separated.
After the divorce, the Princess continued her relationship with Roddy Llewellyn until 1981, when they ended their relationship.
Princess Margaret’s cause of death
To find peace amidst the chaos of her life, Margarita sought refuge on the paradisiacal island of Mustique in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
However, it was in this idyllic place that her inevitable decline began.
In 1998, she suffered a devastating stroke as a result of her prolonged smoking habit.
This oasis was not enough to escape the consequences of his destructive habits.
The traces of the 60 cigarettes he smoked daily until 1991 began to manifest themselves in the form of circulatory problems.
When did princess Margaret pass away
His addiction to tobacco led him to lung cancer, for which he underwent surgery in 1985.
Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of a chain of illnesses that included hepatitis, pneumonia, and four strokes.
Sadly, the last of these strokes ended his life at the age of 71. On February 9, 2002, the intrepid Princess Margaret left this world forever.
