...Royal houses, which once saw outside light only when their occupants were wedded, beheaded, deported or deposed, today are almost constantly floodlit. Queen Elizabeth's younger sister Margaret is squired by a swinger 17 years her junior, and the princess's rift with Photographer-Husband-Antony-Armstrong-Jones-the-Earl-of-Snowdon reigns supreme on front pages and TV for days on end. Princess Anne, 25, the Queen's second child and a contender for Britain's Olympic equestrian team, cracks a vertebra in a fall from her horse and makes news bulletins worldwide...

Though she probably hopes to pick up a few votes for her husband from the 11 to 12 million CB operators in the U.S., Betty has displeased at least one listener with her broadcasts.

At week's end a pair of terse announcements confirmed the breakup of the long-troubled 16-year marriage of Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon. A clipped bulletin from Kensington Palace, the Snowdons' London residence, stated that the two "have mutually agreed to live apart. The princess will carry on her public duties unaccompanied by Lord Snowdon. There are no plans for divorce proceedings." A spokesman for Margaret's older sister Elizabeth...
...Flame. Margaret and her husband, newly created the Earl of Snowdon, set up housekeeping in a large Kensington Palace apartment and soon became fixtures on the club and party circuit of swinging London. They had two children: David, Viscount Linley, now 14, and Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, now eleven...
