Энтони Армстронг-Джонс или А́нтони Чарлз Ро́берт А́рмстронг-Джо́унз[6] (англ. Antony Armstrong-Jones; 7 марта 1930, Лондон, Великобритания — 13 января 2017, Кенсингтон) — британский фотограф и дизайнер, в 1960—1978 годах муж принцессы Маргарет,

Энтони Армстронг-Джонс родился в 1930 году в Лондоне[7]. По мужской линии он принадлежал к мелкому валлийскому дворянству: его отец, Рональд Армстронг-Джонс (1899—1966), был майором британской армии и барристером[8], дед, сэр Роберт Армстронг-Джонс (1857—1943) — известным психиатром[9], прадед (тесть сэра Роберта), Оуэн Робертс, — видным деятелем в сфере британского технического образования. Мать Энтони, Энн Мессель, происходила из немецко-еврейской банкирской семьи Месселей и была внучкой архитектора Альфреда Месселя.

В 1959 году Армстронг-Джонс познакомился с принцессой Маргарет, младшей сестрой королевы; он фотографировал принцессу в день её 29-летия. Знакомство переросло в роман, и 6 мая 1960 года влюблённые поженились в Вестминстерском аббатстве. 3 октября 1961 года Армстронг-Джонс получил от королевы титулы графа Сноудона и виконта Линли. В браке родились двое детей:

Дэвид Армстронг-Джонс, 2-й граф Сноудон, виконт Линли (родился 3 ноября 1961 года);
Леди Сара Армстронг-Джонс (родилась 1 мая 1964 года), жена Дэниела Чатто.

В 1976 году граф и графиня Сноудон расстались, а в 1978 официально развелись; причиной тому стал роман принцессы Маргарет с Родди Ллевеллином.

he never denied

Snowdon was married twice, first to Princess Margaret (1960 to 1978) and secondly to Lucy Mary Lindsay-Hogg (1978 to 2000)

The marriage began to collapse early and publicly; various causes may have been behind the failure. On Margaret's end, there was her penchant for late-night partying, while on Snowdon's part there was his undisguised sexual addiction ("'If it moves, he'll have it', was the summing-up of one close friend").[17] Anne de Courcy, in her 2008 authorised biography, writes "'[T]o most of the girls who worked in the Pimlico Road studio, there seemed little doubt that Tony was gay'. To which Tony responds: 'I didn't fall in love with boys – but a few men have been in love with me.'"[17] Snowdon's entry in the Dictionary of National Biography identifies him as bisexual, a label which he never denied during his life.[10][56] In his 2009 memoir, Redeeming Features, British interior designer Nicky Haslam claimed that he had an affair with Snowdon before the latter's marriage to Princess Margaret and that Snowdon had also been the lover of Tom Parr, another leading interior designer.[60] De Courcy reveals a series of affairs with women, including a 20-year relationship with his mistress, journalist Ann Hills, which lasted from 1976 until her suicide in 1996.[61]

"Twenty Reasons Why I Hate You"

The couple remained married for eighteen years. "They were both pretty strong-willed and accustomed to having their own way, so there were bound to be collisions", according to de Courcy. His work also consumed a great deal of time. "She expected her husband to be with her more, but one of Tony's strongest motivations was work."[62] The marriage was accompanied by drugs, alcohol, and bizarre behaviour by both parties, such as his leaving lists of "Twenty Reasons Why I Hate You" for the princess to find between the pages of books she read.[10] According to biographer Sarah Bradford, one note read: "You look like a Jewish manicurist and I hate you".[63] According to biographer de Courcy, "Most people, including the Royal Family, took his side."[17]

When high society palled for Snowdon, he would escape to a hideaway cottage with his lovers or on overseas photographic assignments. Among Snowdon's lovers in the late 1960s was Lady Jacqueline Rufus-Isaacs, daughter of the 3rd Marquess of Reading.[56] In spite of her own affairs, Margaret was said to be particularly upset when hearing about this woman.[62] They separated in 1976, and the marriage ended in divorce in 1978.[59]

In 2004, The Sunday Telegraph reported that Snowdon had fathered an illegitimate daughter shortly before marrying Princess Margaret.[64] Polly Fry, born on 28 May 1960 in the third week of Lord Snowdon's marriage to Princess Margaret, was brought up as a daughter of Jeremy Fry, inventor and member of the Fry's chocolate family, and his wife Camilla.[64][65] Polly Fry asserted that a DNA test in 2004 proved Snowdon's paternity. Jeremy Fry rejected her claim, and Snowdon denied having taken a DNA test. However, four years later, after Fry had died, Snowdon admitted that this account was true.[56][64]

had fathered a son

After his divorce from Princess Margaret, Lord Snowdon married Lucy Mary Lindsay-Hogg (née Davies), the former wife of Sir Michael Lindsay-Hogg, 5th Baronet, in December 1978. In 1979, they had a daughter, Lady Frances Armstrong-Jones, who became a designer and board member of the Snowdon Trust.[66] In 2006, Lady Frances married Rodolphe von Hofmannsthal, the great-grandson of Hugo von Hofmannsthal.[67]

The earl and the countess separated in 2000 after the revelation that in 1998 Snowdon had fathered a son, Jasper William Oliver Cable-Alexander, by Melanie Cable-Alexander, an editor at Country Life magazine
