    It is so sad that he was unfaithful to her even during their engagement. What he did to her after marriage was also unforgivable. Fortunately, the late Princess Margaret found love with a younger partner later on in life. Even if it didn’t last. And o my what a beautiful voice she had back then which was then ruined by her smoking.

      Who forced Anthony Armstrong to get married to her? He was an awful husband, he cheated on her with both men and women. He used her in many ways...she was betrayed, she was abused mentally and physically hundreds of times. Let's be honest, there was no love in this marriage. Margaret was still in love with Peter but still unmarried and almost 30 years old....she needed a husband... unfortunately she was desperate and her "forced" choice was a big mistake...

    She was her own person----not a conformist. I think she could never forgive the royals for not approving of her engagement to the Townsend fellow. He was older and divorced. Maybe he would have been the "right" man for her. Armstrong-Jones was a party animal. He quickly tired of Margaret and went on to bigger and better adventures. I don't think Margaret was a happy person. That's why she drank, was always out and about----anything to forget her troubles. I think that at the end when she was so ill she just gave up. Her story once again shows that even the royals don't have happy lives. They have domestic problems just like we ordinary folk do.
    They have loves and losses, and for some of them they never really get over those losses.
