Princess
To Marr
Says Paper
Sydney, Australia U.R)
The Sydney Daily Mirror which
first reported Princess Margaret
uould marry Group Capt. Peter
Townsend in June, said today
the engagement would be an
nounced "toward the end of
April."
The Mirror, quoting sources
which it said were close to Buck
ingham palace, said the decision
to release the news earlier was
the result of favorable public
reaction to reports of the ro
mance involving the 24-year-old
princess and a divorced common'
er.
The Telegraph noted the ab
sence of official recognition that
a romance exists but that the
"worried equivocal statements
of the group captain in Brussels
leave no doubt the rumors have
substance."
The editorial listed three
"assumed obstacles" to the mar
riage Townsend's divorce,
Margaret's right to succession
and Townsend's status as a com
moner.
The Telegraph said public re
action in Britain made it plain
that the Church of England
which forbids the marriage of
divorced persons, is "out of step
vith public opinion" since Town-
send was the innocent party in
the divorce.
It added that the issue of re
nunciation by Margaret of her
right to succession has little
practical significance since the
queen has two healthy children
with prior rights.
As for the objection that
Townsend is a commoner, the
Telegraph said, "in the demo
cratic climate of the British
Commonwealth the fact that
Townsend is a commoner does
not carry much weight."
The newspaper said a grow
Ing segment of the public be
lieved the happiness of the
princess "depends on this mar
riage" and "most people here,
as in Britain, think that has de
cided the matter."
