Snowden - who else thought of the guy that married Princess Margaret

[rurallib]

when you heard that name a couple weeks ago?

Obviously one has to have a certain amount of maturity(?) to remember the name
Antony Armstrong-Jones first Earl of Snowdon and married to Princess Margaret in 1960.

IIRC marriage to the princess and all the attendant publicity failed to slow down his outside affairs.

1. She should have married Peter Townsend.

6. They told her, She could marry Townsend but

She would have to give up her title and her allowance
She would lose the HRH and be penniless. She chose not to marry.

3. I was kind of young (@10) and I also remember

that I thought - she seemed kind of - well not Princess pretty.

4. I was too young to remember the wedding but, the name recognition, yeah

That was who came to my mind when I first heard Snowden.

5. I thought of Catch 22.

"Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?"

7. I didn't pay attention to the news when I was 12.

No. I didn't think about that Snowdon at all.

9. A Royal Wedding - it was about all that was on TV for a week

how could you avoid it?

[In_The_Wind]

10. Easy ~ one TV.

I was sent to bed early, had no control over anything.
I stayed in my room and read books. Being an only child had drawbacks.

11. your sheltered upbringing has probably led you to where you are today

[In_The_Wind]

12. Hahaha! That's a good one!

your sheltered upbringing

That would have been nice.
I was avoiding the flying objects inside.


And ... yes, that's why I am who I am today.
