Vogue Showcases 23 Iconic Photographs of Princess Margaret

Vogue published a slideshow of 23 iconic photographs of Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2002. The collection spans her life from a nine-year-old during World War II to her adult years, featuring portraits by Cecil Beaton, Slim Aarons, and her husband Antony Armstrong-Jones (Lord Snowdon). Highlights include her 1960 wedding to Armstrong-Jones at Westminster Abbey, where she wore the Poltimore Tiara, and candid moments with The Beatles in 1964 and Mick Jagger in Martinique in 1976. The princess was known for her beauty, style, and rebellious spirit, often called the royal family's "black sheep" by The New York Times. Her early romance with Group Captain Peter Townsend was thwarted due to his divorce; she later married Armstrong-Jones in 1960 and divorced in 1978. The photographs also capture her at royal engagements, such as a 1965 visit to the White House with President Lyndon B. Johnson, and leisure time in Mustique and Sardinia.
