Synopsis "Lord Snowdon"
An engrossing biography of Antony Armstrong-Jones, Lord Snowdon. Ideal for fans of the hit Netflix series The Crown! Antony Armstrong-Jones, photographer, designer and film-maker, gained worldwide attention when he married Queen Elizabeth II's younger sister, Princess Margaret in 1960 - the first non-aristocrat to marry into the Royal Family for 400 years. How did a 'commoner' come to marry a princess, a woman whom he had long admired from afar? In fact, 'Tony' descended from Welsh gentry, the son of a barrister and a society hostess. Educated at Eton College and Cambridge University - where he coxed the Light Blues to victory in the 1950 Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race - his family shared a long-established link with the Mountbatten arm of the Royal Family. In this engaging biography Helen Cathcart traces the first four decades of Lord Snowdon's life, from the child of divorce and schoolboy victim of polio to successful photographer of the rich and famous and dutiful member of the Royal Family. Cathcart draws on close personal family sources to reveal the man behind the camera, the Old Etonian whose sense of timing and inquisitive interest in people made him one of the most original of British photographers. Set against a background of Irish castles, Thames-side hideaways and royal palaces, Cathcart also tells the definitive story of Lord Snowdon's romance with Princess Margaret and their early married life together as one of Britain's most glamorous couples. Lord Snowdon is packed with intensely revealing detail sure to appeal to all Royal Family enthusiasts. Praise for Helen Cathcart: 'An expert on royalty' - The Guardian'Wide acclaim as a royal biographer ... objective, uninhibited and penetrating' - Sunday Express'Helen Cathcart writes about royalty as if she were one of them' - Daily Mail'The doyenne of royal biographers' - Daily Telegraph
