PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
It is 50 years since the world was gripped and divided by the first great modern royal scandal. At its heart was the most photographed woman in the world, the first modern royal celebrity and darling of the press. The Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, faced a heartbreaking decision: marry Peter Townsend, a divorced commoner twice her age, and give up her right to succession; or sacrifice her true love, honour her duty and put Queen and country above all else. But was this really the case? In light of new information, Timewatch reveals the truth of the Townsend affair.
