Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon

Queen told the couple to wait until 1955

1950s
United Kingdom

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.
