Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon - 21st Birthday party
Time: Tuesday Aug 21, 1951
Place: Balmoral Castle, Scotland, United Kingdom
Details: During her 21st birthday party at Balmoral in August 1951, the press was disappointed to only photograph Margaret with Townsend, always in the background of pictures of royal appearances, and to her parents, a safe companion as Elizabeth's duties increased. The following month her father underwent surgery for lung cancer, and Margaret was appointed one of the Counsellors of State who undertook the King's official duties while he was incapacitated.
