The Crown
24 Answers
Have only just started watching this, so I've just come to the end of the first series when Princess Margaret was told she couldn't marry Group Captain Townsend because of all the rules and regulations of him being divorced. How come the Prince of Wales, a future King, was allowed to marry Camilla Parker Bowles? Have the rules been changed.? I seem to remember that Princess Anne married for the second time in Scotland and yet Charles and Camilla married here.

Townsend, a hero in World War II, was a commoner, 16 years older than the princess, and he'd been divorced. Because of the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, Margaret needed the queen's permission to marry. But Elizabeth and her advisors didn't want to sanction a marriage between a divorced man and a member of the royal family.
