Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon - Margaret was free to marry
Time: Sunday Aug 21, 1955
Place: Scotland, United Kingdom
Details: The press described Margaret's 25th birthday, 21 August 1955, as the day she was free to marry, and expected an announcement about Townsend soon. Three hundred journalists waited outside Balmoral, four times as many as those later following Diana, Princess of Wales. "COME ON MARGARET!", the Daily Mirror's front page said two days earlier, asking her to "please make up your mind!".
