Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon - Margaret's first main public appearance at her uncle Prince George's wedding

Time: Friday Oct 12, 1934

Place: London, England, United Kingdom

Details: Margaret's early life was spent primarily at the Yorks' residences at 145 Piccadilly (their townhouse in London) and Royal Lodge in Windsor. The Yorks were perceived by the public as an ideal family: father, mother, and children, but unfounded rumors that Margaret was deaf and mute were not completely dispelled until Margaret's first main public appearance at her uncle Prince George's wedding in 1934.
