Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon - Churchill arranged for Townsend's assignment as air attaché in Brussels
Time: Wednesday Jul 15, 1953
Place: Brussels, Belgium
Details: Churchill arranged for Townsend's assignment as air attaché at the British Embassy in Brussels; he was sent on 15 July 1953, before Margaret's return from Rhodesia on 30 July. The assignment was so sudden that the British ambassador learned about it from a newspaper. Although the princess and Townsend knew about his new job, they had reportedly been promised a few days together before his departure.
