...Just Old Friends?" was the caption the New York Daily News slapped on its front-page photo of Princess Margaret's Lord Snowdon and a slight bit of chic called Lady Jacqueline Rufus Isaacs having rather serious fun at a London party. For the past year, according to the News, Tony, 40, and Lady Jacqueline, 24, have been a steady twosome, and during his recent hospitalization (for a hemorrhoid operation), "it was Lady Jackie who visited him even more often than Margaret." Last week, as the rumors flew, sometime Fashion Model Jacqueline left England for Switzerland, sometime Fashion Photographer...
Rumors of a royal rift between Princess Margaret and her photographer husband of ten years, Lord Snowdon, blossomed again last week. In her Washington Post column, Maxine Cheshire reported that "Snowdon is the one, according to informed sources, who is insisting upon freedom.

In both London and Paris, the green-stained wrist has become a mark of distinction. Among the wearers are the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Lord Snowdon, the Marquess of Bath (who thoughtfully sells the bracelets to sightseers at a souvenir stand outside his castle), Pierre Cardin, Coco Chanel and Stavros Niarchos. Sir John Wheeler-Bennett, the eminent historian, has been wearing his bracelet for three or four years and says its effects are "frightfully good...
