Anne de Courcy;s biography of Anthony Armstrong-Jones (AKA Lord Snowdon), while way too detailed for most people's taste, does cover her subject warts & all. While clearly sympathetic to her subject, hr still comes off as mostly a womanizing cad. And when she asks in the last chapter, "What will he be remembered for apart from his marriage to the Queen's sister?" - well, she tries valiantly, but, I am afraid, that is it. ( )
It is impossible to convey here the combination of high society and low morals, of frightfully good taste and awful cheese, that de Courcy has skilfully managed to dish up. Prix et récompenses
How did a photographer who was a relentless playboy, an unashamed womaniser and a leather-clad motorcyclist marry the Queen's sister and become the Establishment figure Lord Snowdon? The brilliantly talented Antony Armstrong-Jones often humiliated Princess Margaret, yet he was compassionate to the causes he cared about. Since his death in 2017, Snowdon still hasn't escaped the limelight, as more and more is revealed about his wild and intriguing life. Written with exclusive access to Snowdon and the people closest to him, this book uncovers the real man and his times. Addressing the facts behind the myths - the secret courtship of Margaret, the love child born just weeks after the royal marriage, the affairs on both sides, the suicide of one mistress and the birth of an illegitimate son to another - this is a balanced yet no-holds-barred account of Snowdon's life.
