Another Divorce

[maggiebee]

Apologies if this has already been posted. I've just read that the son of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong Jones (David Armstrong Jones) and his wife Serena are to divorce.

That's a shame.

Still it gives Prince Andrew a break, while the media dissect every aspect of this couple's life based on their misfortune to be born royal, and marry into royalty.

It's a shame that some of that family are not allowed to marry who they want to marry.

This on top of Princess Anne's son.

What a shame, it can't be easy marrying into the royal family.

Always sad when marriages don't work out but at 49 & 58 I'm sure they have given this some thought.

I think the AJs can marry whoever they want, 237SJ. These two have been together since last century, so it may just be a routine case of growing apart.

^ I know they have. I saw witnessed him before he married her though..

I always knew him as David Linley. A most charming young man and a great host. He was a gifted woodworker and stood on his own two feet. I am sad to hear of the revelation.

Quite a small garden then.

Since the death of his father his correct title is now the 2nd Earl of Snowdon.

It's just a couple divorcing. Happens all the time just let them get on with things on their own. Divorce is bad enough without having the media splatter the front pages.

It's going to be a nightmare when Ginge and cringe divorce, I think I'll stop reading the papers for a year.

[douglas9401]

Aye, we should start preparing now for the Great Kleenex Shortage.

Once again, this is only news for who they are. Huge numbers of couples seperate and divorce, sadly, but if you're royalty or in the limelight for some reason the media has a heyday. Nobody's business but the couple and their families. You rarely hear of couples who are happily married and have been for years - not news unless someone can sniff out a snippet of scandal, real or imagined, from the past

Another Annus horribilis for Her Maj with all that's been happening.

I think you overestimate the public interest in the Armstrong-Joneses, Andy.

On reflection, I think you are right.
