By Norman Barr Malye some time earlier Queen Elizabeth had sought the advice of the archbishop of Canterbury or. Fisher. He said that Christian marriage was indissoluble and that the Canon Law of the Church England did not permit the remarriage of divorced per sons while the wife or Hus band of the former marriage was still alive. The Queen therefore As the temporal governor of the Church could not Sanction her sister s marriage to group Captain town Send. After talking with the prime minister the Queen again Dis cussed the problem with the archbishop. And then she talked with Princess Marga ret. As the result of. These discussions the situation was speedily crystallized. Princess Margaret made it quite Clear both to the Queen and her Mother that she was deeply in love with group Captain Townsend and that she. Had every intention of marrying she accepted the Posi Tion that her sister the Queen could not give her consent to the marriage she was will ing to wait and so was Townsend until she reached the of Twenty five.

At the time of these discus Sions Queen and Princess Margaret preparations were being made for the which could be interpreted to visit Southern Rhode Siata tuly for the Centenary Celebration of the birth Cecil Rhodes. One Concession however was made to her. Townsend should not take up his Post abroad until she re turned from Africa. No restriction had been placed on Peter s communicating with Margaret by letter or Tele phone. Nor did the Queen or the Mother raise objections to Margaret s insistence Liat Townsend should from time to time Corrie to London to see her after the first year. And this he did. Elaborate cloak and Dagger arrange ments were made for his trips and to my own he came to London and visited the Princess in Clarence House at least a dozen times. Further they were Able to talk to each other frequently on the Telephone. F a Margaret and her Mother left London Airport on june 29, 1953. Peter was not there to see the Princess off. They made their farewells in privacy at Clarence House. The next Day Townsend flew to Northern Ireland with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. And the following Day while he sat with the Queen and the Prince at a civic luncheon in Belfast bucking Ham Palace announced that group Captain Townsend had been posted to the British embassy in Brussels As air at tache. When the Royal party arrived Back at London Airport from Belfast Townsend was the last to leave the aircraft. The Queen was already stand ing by the door of her Rolls Royce when he came Down the Gangway. She. Turned and walked a considerable distance across the Tarmac to smile warmly and shake his hand. She seemed to be saying with her eyes be patient every thing will come out All thus ended. Peter town Send s life at the court t was her Mother who broke the news to Princess Margaret at Tim Tali in South. Pm and in the space it took to the. Gay Princess lost her smile. A Promise had been broken a Promise that. Towi thend would not leave until she re turned from Africa Margaret flew alone to government House in Salisbury Southern Rhodesia. She immediately telephoned her sister and pro tested. And. She phoned Peter Townsend. The Queen cannot be held entirely responsible for what happened. It was the formidable Palace Organiza Tion which moves fast and surely when the occasion War speedily were the arrangements made that sir Christopher the Brit ish ambassador in Brussels was not even sent a Courtesy hoping that he1 did not object to the appointment. Sir was at the time a guest of belgian. Government in the received the news of Send s arrival ii Brussels from a newspaper. He returned to Brus this very experienced Diplomat a stickler for Proto col protested in no Uncertain manner the discourtesy that had been shown to him by the foreign office. The Royal tour progressed. But the Queen Mother travel de alone. For forty eight hours Princess Margaret stayed in bed. On the Day they were reunited the Princess first went to communion. It was a subdued but officially quite Well Princess who hugged her Mother and kissed her. They were both misty eyed. When the tour was. Over and the Princess returned to eng land britons were touched and some. Were shocked by the news their favorite Prin in love. The answer would hardly be in doubt. A Section of the Church England and the roman Catholic Church might make a protest As they did when or. Eden married last year. But to most people it would seem that this is private mat Ter in which so Long As the Law of the land is observed we should not it is True that the Princess is not exactly an Ordinary person. She. Is close to the succession to. The throne and she performs Public duties.

Most other people imagine would agree with that simple proposition. But the British Cabinet does not agree Liis intolerable piece of interference with a girl s Pri vate life is All part of the absurd myth about the Royal family which has been so sedulously built up by inter ested parties in recent years. It recalls the hypocritical role played by the Church at the time of the Duke of Windsor s abdication. This article was an Embar pcs Mont to both the Cabinet and the Palace. To the cab inet because three senior ministers had been involved in divorce actions and Remar conference with him ried. They were sir Anthony Eden who at time was grave in Monckton and or.

On the same Day no doubt acting under the in fluence of official guidance the political co respondent of the Piess association wrote i understand that the cab inet has not at any time considered the possible marriage of Princess Margaret and group Captain Peter town Send in a sense this denial was accurate. The Cabinet had never been normally asked to give an opinion. But of course the problem was discussed in formally. And the article trib Une was quite accurate in sub stance the.
