Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon - Queen told the couple to wait until 1955

Time: 1950s

Place: United Kingdom

Details: The Queen told the couple to wait until 1955 when Margaret would be 25, avoiding the Queen having to publicly disapprove of her sister's marriage. Lascelles—who compared Townsend to Theudas "boasting himself to be somebody"—hoped that separating him and Margaret would end their romance.
