Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones

On 6th May 1960, Princess Margaret married photographer and designer Antony Armstrong-Jones. In true Margaret fashion, the Princess had broken a centuries long tradition and married a commoner. The first British Royal to marry a non-aristocrat in 400 years. The partnership broke down class barriers, widened Margaret's social circles beyond aristocracy, and brought a sense of fun to the monarchy. Actors, singers, celebrities, and Bohemians all wanted the chance to mingle with the famed couple. The one of a kind pairing changed royal marriages forever and catapulted the monarchy into the 20th century.
