Snowdon

public figure, private man

de Brian Hoey

When society photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones married the glamorous and beautiful Princess Margaret, it was the stuff that dreams were made of. Created Earl of Snowdon, as a young commoner brought into the traditional and ultra-conventional royal family, Tony was a breath of much-needed fresh air. After eighteen years of married life and two children, however, the fairytale turned into a nightmare and a bitter divorce. In later years, while Princess Margaret suffered with ill-health, Snowdon prospered. As a photographer, he remains among the most sought after in the world - and one of the highest paid.
