...London News of the World, Roddy, who wears a silver stud in his left ear, has twice invited Margaret to Surrendell, a decaying manoit near Bath that he and some chums have turned into a commune. On one of her visits-both made without her photographer husband Lord Snowdon-Margaret weeded the vegetable patch, then later joined Roddy at the piano to sing Chattanooga Choo Choo and Blue Moon.

...date press card. At headquarters, the suspicious cops satisfied themselves that "Tony Charles Snow-down [sic]" was not the peddler's accomplice. They issued him a temporary press card and prepared to let him go. Then someone did a double take. Hastily, Princess Margaret's husband, Lord Snowdon, was whisked into Police Commissioner Philip G. Tannian's office for a chat and an apology. That was more than Tony got from Mayor Coleman Young.
