Princess Margaret was the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II.[1] After the Anglican Church prevented her intended marriage to a divorced officer in 1953, she married Antony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, also known as Lord Snowdon, a London photographer, in 1960.[2]

Anne was utterly fascinated by the different members of royal houses. She kept track of the birthdays of people belonging to different royal families and spent hours drawing their family trees And In her room in the Secret Annex, Anne pasted postcards from Princess Elizabeth[3] and Princess Margaret[4] on the wall just in front of her desk.
