Just a little photo reverie. They were a glamour couple!  If only it had lasted...

At Royal Lodge, Windsor, February 1960

They did seem to fascinate each other.

Something so rakishly handsome about "Tony".

At the Jamaican Indepence celebration, 1962.

With their daughter Sarah, 1964:

Margaret always looked great in sapphire blue, b/c of her eyes...

In the Caribbean.

Happy times.

He certainly was a good looking guy.  But I don't see any glamour.  Or maybe I was just spoiled by Mad Men.

They were certainly a golden couple and the talk of the town.  What a glamorous pair and glamorous times those were indeed.

I watched the whole season 3 of the Crown and absolutely agree that they do not show any glamorous outfits,jewelry and parties that Princess Margaret was famous for.

Those above photos remind us how pretty she was!

He was a serial cheat and had a child with another woman right after he and Margaret married. Later, while married to soneone else, he had a child with a woman half his age. He was 68. The child is in his early 20s today.

Agreed, she was pretty, @SANNA..   Both she and Elizabeth were attractive;  Margaret seemed to take more after some of the strong-featured relatives on her father's side, while E. seemed more a mixture of both parents...

Should have included some wedding photos!  Although it was praised at the time for its simplicity, I'm not really fond of her Hartnell wedding dress-- too "bell-like",  especially for her petite figure?

Puppy love.

Way I understand it she mainly married him like on the rebound. Queen wouldn't let her marry the first guy she had picked out. She could have married him , but, she would have had to split from the Royals and no income from the Royal list and would had lost her title. He was married and would had , had to divorce, etc.  

Back then, was a stricter code of rules. You can't marry Catholics, divorced folks, etc.    Nowdays, rules have loosened up considerably

@SharkE is correct.  Antony was not in the least the love of her life.  As far as his affairs he was not alone in that activity of the marriage.  Margaret had quite a few herself.  They did look lovely together and made two beautiful children.

I should know something I 've read more books on the Royals then

the Queen. LOL

Right now I'm reading about the 8, yep, 8 assassination attempts on

Queen Victoria ! Unbelievable !

It must of been hard for Margaret to always know she would be in her sister's shadow. Just look at Harry, although, I don't think Harry would want to be King anyway. LOL

Kate stamped 'paid' to him being in the Q when she started popping them out. Believe she is done now she's done her job.

So much you can't talk about on the boards because you will tork off one or the other and the whole thread will get deleted.

Interesting history, though !
