Snowdon Anne De Courcy

The most sensational book on the Royal Family in recent times. --Sunday Telegraph Offers a fascinating insight into not just his life but the social mores of the day. --Evening Standard How did a photographer who was a relentless playboy, an unashamed womanizer, and a leather-clad motorcyclist marry the Queen's sister and become the Establishment figure Lord Snowdon? The brilliantly talented Antony Armstrong-Jones often humiliated Princess Margaret, yet he was compassionate to the causes he cared about. Since his death in 2017, Snowdon still hasn't escaped the limelight, as more and more is revealed about his wild and intriguing life. Written with exclusive access to Snowdon and the people closest to him, this book uncovers the real man and his times. Addressing the facts behind the myths--the secret courtship of Margaret, the love child born just weeks after the royal marriage, the affairs on both sides, the suicide of one mistress, and the birth of an illegitimate son to another--this balanced yet no-holds-barred account of Snowdon's life is essential for fans of The Crown and Ma'am Darling.
