Although Townsend became an equerryfor Margaret's father, King George VI, in 1944, he reportedly didn't meet the princess until 1947 when he accompanied the royal family on a three-month tour of Southern Africa. Townsend and Margaret spent plenty of time together during the trip as his official job was to look after the princess. "We rode together ...
Later in 1947, Townsend accompanied Margaret on a trip to Belfast, Northern Ireland, where she christened her first ship. Paperwork relating to the visit revealed that Townsend had asked for his room at Hillsborough Castle to be moved next to Margaret's room.
Townsend and his first wife, Rosemary Pratt, Marchioness Camden, divorced in 1952 after 11 years of marriage.
Townsend proposed to Margaret in 1953. However, due to the 1772 Royal Marriages Act, Margaret needed the Queen's permission to marry Townsend since she was under the age of 25 at the time. And since Townsend was a divorced man (and the Church of England had strict rules about remarriage after divorce at the time), the Queen did not grant Margaret's...
Following Townsend's proposal to Margaret, the air force officer was sent abroad to Brussels as an air attaché, where he would remain for two years, per the BBC.
Once Princess Margaret turned 25, she no longer needed the Queen's approval to marry Townsend — only Parliament's permission.

At the time, Margaret was third in line to the British throne behind her nephew Prince Charles and ni...
Margaret publicly announced that she would not marry Townsend in October 1955.

"But, mindful of the Church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissolub...
After his split from Margaret, Townsend moved to Belgium before settling down in France, according to The New York Times. He later wed Marie-Luce Jamagne in 1959.
Margaret would find love again in the years after her split from Townsend. She met a photographer named Antony Armstrong-Jonesin 1958 when he was hired to photograph the royal family. The pair ended up getting engaged in 1959 but kept the news quiet for a few months. In February 1960, Clarence House announced her engagement to Armstrong-Jones.
Princess Margaret married Armstrong-Jones at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 1960. Armstrong-Jones was the first commoner to marry into the royal family in some 400 years.
