Margaret: The Romance of a Princess
This Is the last 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 Mar
garet, the abdication of Edward VIII.
the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and
her coronation. . ;
By MARGARET SAVILLE f
United Press Correspondent,
London (U.R) Princess
Margaret was nine, a little girl
playing with dolls on the after
noon in -1940 when Peter Town
send led his fighter squadron
against 250 German aircraft over
the Thames estuary.
Townsend shot down three en
emy planes in that one clash...
Only a few weeks before,
Townsend- himself - had been
wounded -in the- foot and shot
down. He parachuted from his
Spitfire just in time; was rushed
to a hospital where -doctors am
putated his left big foe. Within
two -weeks he was in the - air
again.
Townsend was one of those
about whom Winston Churchill
said "Never has so much been
owed by so many to so few."
And so it was that seldom has
even a storybook princess had
such a knight in shining, armor
come along as Margaret did
when her war hero Tpwnsend
was picked by the late George
VI as; an equerry to the royal
family at Buckingham Palace.
By that time Margaret was 13,
Townsend 29.
Townsend had married in
1941. The king moved him and
his wife, Rosemary, into Ade
laide Cottage, a grace and favor
residence near 'Windsor Castle.
The king was godfather to the
couple's second son.
Townsend became very popu
lar at the palace. He sampled
movies and plays in advance of
royal attendance, arranged de
tails of royal appearances, played
canasta with the queen and en
tertained the king's daughters
Elizabeth and Margaret .
Aide to princess
In 1947 he went to South
Africa as an aide to Princess
Margaret and in 1948 the king
chose him to be the 17-year-old
Margaret's equerry on his first
solo visit aboard to Holland
for Queen Juliana's coronation.
Townsend was a special favor
ite with the queen mother and
the princess. In 1949 Margaret
asked him to fly her blue and
gold Miles Whitney straight rac
ing plane in the King's cup air
races. He was ah also ran but
the next year he tried again and
finished second.
But Townsend's duties, which
made him the target of every
West End society hostess, cost
him many hours of overtime
work and cut deeply into his
home life.
The breakup of his marriage
came six years after he went
to the palace. And it was just
before Christmas of 1942 that a
court granted him a divorce de
cree on grounds of his wife's ad
ultery with . export 'merchant
John Adolphus de Laszlo, son of
the late portrait painter, Philip
de Laszzlo.
. Townsend was awarded cust
ody of their two sons. His for
mer wife married de Laszlo in
February, 1953.
King George had died the year
of the divorce and it was then
that Margaret drew very close
to Townsend.
He was a far different cut of

man than any of the young
noblemen and wealthy common
ers with whom she had partied
and danced..
Eastern Background ,
Townsend was born in Ran
goon, Burma, the third child of
an officer in the Indian Civil
service. His childhood was spent
in Burma and -Assam, explain
ing his love of Eastern .color,
warmth and exotic foods. "
He was educated at Hailebury
in England, Clement Attlee's old
school. One sister married : Ar
thur Gaitskell,. brother of form
er Socialist Chancellor of the ex
chequer Hugh Gaitskell.
Townsend was a . shy youth
until he joined the RAF is 1935.
He lost that shyness in the buc
caneering fighter pilot days of
the war. Townsend and his spe
cial pal, a South African named
Caesar Hull, who was later killed,
originated - a weird victory
dance in the mess hall called "La
Cachita." They threw each other
over the chairs and tables in a
wild Apache whirl.
The wavy-haired, handsome
Townsend became very popular
with his comrades. One fellow
pilot wrote of him in a letter:
"The squadron worships him. He
is a hero to the ground crews." He
has no idea of his own courage.."
Man of Action
When Townsend came to serve
the royal family" he was like a
breath of fresh air from the out
side world 1 for Margaret.- He
was mature, confident, exper
ienced, a man of action.
He shared her budding tastes
for books, drama, music, paint
ing and a keen interest in cur
rent affairs. He had wit and a
sense of 'humor to match Marg
arets. ... . . v
Margaret was not in the lime
light in those years. It was her
sister, Elizabeth, who was in
volved in a romance with the
handsome Phillip, now Duke of
Edinburgh.
There are many who believe
that Margaret was determined to
find herself a man as bold and
dashing as the husband that Eliz
abeth took. . And Townsend, al
though a commoner, measured
up very well. ?.
There are few who doubt they
were in - love when Townsend
was suddenly "exiled" to Brus
sels as air attache shortly after
Elizabeth's .coronation.
But the strong-willed Margar
et decided he was a man worth
waiting for..
