when you heard that name a couple weeks ago?
Obviously one has to have a certain amount of maturity(?) to remember the name
Antony Armstrong-Jones first Earl of Snowdon and married to Princess Margaret in 1960.
IIRC marriage to the princess and all the attendant publicity failed to slow down his outside affairs.

I stayed in my room and read books. Being an only child had drawbacks.
