The Queen’s nephew the Earl of Snowdon is getting divorced
The Queen's nephew, the Earl of Snowdon, is getting divorced from his wife Serena the Countess of Snowdon.
A spokesperson for the couple revealed they have “amicably agreed” to separate after 26 years of marriage. They have two children together, Viscount Linley, Charles Armstrong-Jones and Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones.
The earl, David Armstrong-Jones is the son of the late Prince Margaret and photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, reports the BBC.
“The Earl and Countess of Snowdon have amicably agreed that their marriage has come to an end and that they shall be divorced,” the statement reads.
“They ask that the press respect their privacy and that of their family.”
The couple have been married since October 1993.
The separation news comes less than a week after Peter Phillips, the Queen’s grandson, and his wife Autumn announced their split.
A statement, which was published on their behalf, explained that the divorce was “the best course of action for their two children and ongoing friendship”.
Mr and Mrs Phillips, who have been married for 12 years, confirmed they will divorce and will share custody of their children, nine-year-old Savannah and seven-year-old Isla.
