1960 Anthony Armstrong Engagement Engagements Fiance Fiancee Jones Margaret Romance Romances Snowdon Tony Weddings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting black-and-white photograph captures the moment of pure joy and excitement as Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, announces her engagement to photographer and close friend, Anthony Armstrong-Jones, on February 14, 1960. The image, taken by renowned British photographer, Lord Snowdon, showcases the radiant smiles and deep connection between the couple, who were the talk of the town and the world. Margaret, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress and pearls, holds up her left hand, displaying the stunning 13-carat diamond and emerald engagement ring, a gift from her future husband. Armstrong-Jones, looking dapper in a suit and tie, gazes at his fiancée with adoration and affection. The snowy backdrop adds a touch of romance and serenity to the scene. The engagement of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones was a breath of fresh air in the royal family, as the couple was considered unconventional and modern for their time. They were known for their artistic and bohemian lifestyle, and their relationship was seen as a symbol of love and happiness in an era of change and progress. Their wedding in May 1960 was a grand affair, attended by thousands of people and watched by millions on television. This photograph is a testament to the power of love and the enduring bond between two people, and it continues to inspire and delight us to this day. It is a reminder that even in the most formal and traditional settings, love can still shine bright and illuminate the world around us.
