EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, is seen sharing a warm moment with her mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, shortly after the announcement of her engagement to Anthony Armstrong-Jones. The couple, who were to be known as the Earl and Countess of Snowdon, are beaming with joy and excitement as they stand before the Queen Mother, who appears to offer her blessing to the young couple. The image, taken in 1960, marked a significant moment in the lives of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones, who were set to be married at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 1960. The engagement came as a surprise to many, as Margaret had previously been linked to several high-profile romances, including with the actor Peter Townsend, who was divorced at the time. Anthony Armstrong-Jones, a photographer, was a popular figure in London's social scene, and his engagement to the Princess was a cause for much excitement and intrigue. The couple's wedding was a grand affair, attended by members of the royal family and dignitaries from around the world. This photograph captures a tender moment between the Queen Mother and her daughter, as they prepare for the next chapter in Margaret's life. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between mother and daughter, as well as the romance and excitement of a royal engagement. The snow-covered landscape of Windsor adds to the fairytale atmosphere of the scene, making this a truly enchanting image from royal history.
