Margaret: TKe Romance of a Princess
This li the second in a series of
articles about Princess Margaret by
Margaret Saville who has covered the
royal family of Britain for more than
20 years. She has written 22 books
about them since the reign of George
V. She covered the birth of Princess
Margaret, the abdication of Edward
VIII, the wedding of Queen Elizabeth
and her coronation.
By MARGARET SAVILLE
United Press Correspondent
London (U.R) The other
young men who wooed Princess
Margaret never really had much
chance against Peter Townsend.
She first met him when she
was an impressionable 13, he a
dashing and handsome RAF
hero.' For nine years they were
together almost every day.
As equerry to the royal fam
ily at Buckingham Palace, he
was with her under gay and in
formal circumstances. In the
privacy of the family parlor he
sang to her piano playing,
learned the ruhmba steps from
her, played canasta, rode with
her on the bridle paths of Wind
sor, went on picnics in the Scot
tish Highlands.
Not so with the other young
men who escorted the vivacious
little princess. There was Lord
Ogilvie, the Marquis of Bland
ford, the Earl of Dalkeith, Mark
Bonham Carter, Lord Hamble
don, Billy Wallace.
Titled or wealthy young men,
all of them, but seldom had they
the opportunity to woo the prin
cess under any but the stiffest
and formal circumstances.
Come along on one of the
dates Princess Margaret has had
in the past two years while
Townsend was in "exile" in
Brussels.
The young man's first step is
to telephone Clarence House
dial WHitehall 3141 and ask
for the princess' lady-in-waiting.
"I was wondering if her royal
highness would care to join a
small party I am giving," he
says. Then he lists' the date, the

places to be visited and every
one else in the group. The lady-in-waiting
notes it all down.
Then the young man waits, a
day or two, perhaps a week.
When the great day arrives,
the young man, in freshly
pressed tuxedo and carnation,
awaits the princess' arrival at
the theater. He does not go after.
her. She comes in her own car,
license "PM," with lady-in-waiting
and Scotland Yard detec
tive. There are presentations and
handshakes and curtsies. Com
fortably settled, the host may
enquire: "Ma'am, have we your
permission to smoke?"
Permission is always granted.
But Margaret always refused
the cigarette offered to her. She
takes her own from a case and
lights up with the ivory holder
the late Queen Mary gave her
"if you must smoke, at least
keep your fingers unstained."
After the show, the host and
another couple may be invited
to ride in the royal limousine to
a nightclub. The "400" and the
"Cafe De Paris" are her favor
ites and the headwaiter knows
her preference for the table on
the righthand- side of the en
trance.
For supper, Margaret may
take some iced melon, con
somme, smoked salmon and a
single veal cutlet, one glass of
champagne. Ever since she saw
an unflattering newspaper pic
ture of herself two years ago,
she's watched her figure. She
fancies plunging necklines and
is shown to advantage in them.
Her first dance goes to the
host, but after that she carefully
rations herself among the men
of the party. They report she is
light, supple, rhythmic, relaxed
and easy to dance with.
Sometime round 2 a.m., her
royal highness says she'd better
be going. No one has dared leave
before.
A brief goodnight to the host
and the momers, more curtsies
and the princess is gone. No lin
gering on the doorstep like more
ordinary couples. And, of course,
no goodnight kiss.
It's all a bit chilly to male
ardor but the chances are that it
has suited Margaret very well
during the past two years.
