Eden’s Appointment Seen As Boost For Princess Margaret Marriage
London reports say the change in prime minister to Anthony Eden weakens church opposition to Princess Margaret's planned marriage to Group Captain Peter Townsend. The royal family faces pressure from divorce stigma as Eden’s rise signals a more permissive public mood toward divorce. Townsend, now Belgian air attache, also faced divorce actions. The princess would turn 25 on August 21, and could wed Townsend after that date without the Queen’s formal consent under royal marriage rules.
