Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon - Townsend divorced his wife

Time: 1952

Place: United Kingdom

Details: After Townsend divorced his wife in 1952, however, rumors spread about him and Margaret; the divorce, and shared grief over the almost simultaneous death of the king, likely helped them come together within the privacy of Clarence House, where the princess had her own apartment.
