Mr. Jones is now an earl
October 6, 1961
Antony Armstrong-Jones, the husband of Princess Margaret, "formally became the Earl of Snowdon tonight." Queen Elizabeth II made the announcement on Tuesday, but the title does not become official until tonight when it was published in the London Gazette, an official government publication.
Lord Snowdon's male heir will have the courtesy title Viscount Linley of Nymans in the County of Sussex. Younger sons will be styled as the Honourable Christian name Armstrong-Jones. A daughter would be known as the Lady Christian name Armstrong-Jones.
Princess Margaret will now be styled as "Her Royal Highness the Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon."
The Princess, who is in the final weeks of her first pregnancy, was seen today at her home at Kensington Palace by her doctor and gynecologist.
