The Earl of Snowdon may be one of the lesser-known members of the royal family despite having grown up in Kensington Palace. He was the first child born to Princess Margaret and celebrity photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones.
David Armstrong-Jones was born on November 3, 1961 at Clarence House, Westminster, and was given the title of Viscount Linley at birth. He became the second Earl of Snowdon following his father’s death in 2017 but still goes by David Linley in a professional capacity.
Lord Snowdon was fifth in line for the throne when he was born. He is now 24th in the order of succession.
