Talk about a misreading of scripture. First of all, I've always found it bizarre that the Church of England "doesn't recognize divorce", when the Church came in to being solely because Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his first wife. Secondly, Jesus himself said divorce was permissible on grounds of adultery (Matthew 5:32). Peter Townsend's wife had committed adultery, so he was perfectly within his scriptural rights to divorce her. There really should not have been any issue with him marrying Princess Margaret.

There wasn’t. Parliament was delighted to say yes - we know that now. There was no question she would lose her income. They WANTED her to keep it. What really happened is that Margaret came to her senses. He groomed her from the age of 14. It wasn’t an innocent attraction. She had a distracted father and a drunk mother who didn’t notice whey he MOVED HIS BEDROOM NEXT TO HERS when she was a child. We didn’t call it grooming back then. But it was. The actual love of Margaret’s life was her father. And somehow, she came to her senses. This was the palatable, public relations coup she managed after. Everyone was supportive. Letters had even been drafted explaining her marriage to commonwealth leaders. It all came out under an official secrets act release picky a few years ago.

I don't think grooming is the right word nor do I think an actual relationship itself occurred. You see during the time Margaret was 14 Peter was still fighting in the royal air force he didn't come on till the very end of george Vis tenure when he was a very sick man. How ever I think grooming is the wrong word too. A palace you not alone and when they thought this was even a possibility they moved him to Brussels. Also when the church separated from the catholic church there wasn't royal divorce except for Henry viii because he was an absolute monarchist but also the house of Windsor was the first royal family to bless divorce in 500 years. The church didn't want another Henry VIII situation they wanted the church to be a church not a free pass to divorce for the royals.

Henry VIII didn't want a divorce from his first wife. Henry VIII didn't believe in divorce. That's just modern shorthand to describe a far more complicated sequence of events. Catherine of Aragon, had been married to Arthur, Prince of Wales, Henry's older brother, before either had turned 16. Her family paid a colossal dowry of 200,000 ducats. In todays money, about $30,000,000 worth of gold. Less then a month later, the two both fell ill with sweating sickness, and although she recovered, Arthur died. Henry VII attempted to retain the money anyway, by having her remarry his second son, Henry, Duke of York, who was five years younger than she was. This would be Henry VIII. Critically however, this required papal dispensation from the pope: because canon law forbade a man to marry his brother's widow. Catherine therefore testified that her marriage to Arthur was never consummated as, also according to canon law, a marriage could be annulled if it was not consummated. This - an annulment - is not the same as a divorce. A divorce ends a marriage. Whilst an annulment proclaims it never to have taken place. Sort of like discovering your wife is your long lost sister. During Henry VIII's reign, he became convinced that his lack of an heir was punishment from God for breaking that law, and marrying his brother's wife. He wanted the Pope to rescind his previous dispensation, and declare that actually, no, Arthur and Catherine *had* consummated their marriage and therefore her marriage to Arthur was valid, which would mean she couldn't also be married to Henry. Theologically, legally, its a very different thing to a divorce.

Yes, I agree. There have been several women in her position who gave up their royal status & entitlements for the sake of being with the person they chose to marry. One of the most recent was Princess Mako of Japan, who married a commoner in 2021 & gave up her royal title and also refused any traditional payout from the Japanese government. It's not so targic as the show made it out to be. Plain & simple fact is that being a royal meant more to Margaret than being Peter's wife & the mother of his children.

Well Elizabeth knew she was going to be queen one day so she had a very small dating pool, it wasn't an accident she ended up marrying a prince. Margaret was given more freedom for her choice of marriage, since after Elizabeth had Charles there was very little chance Margaret would ever be queen but still ended up choosing someone that was deemed as unsuitable.

Regardless of what really happened, Netflix’s Elizabeth was crazy to think duty meant she had to require Margaret to leave the family if she married Peter. Giving up the title, money, and place in the succession should have been more than enough. Margaret wasn’t abdicating, and she had a nephew and niece to be Elizabeth’s heirs. I don’t know why Netflix thought what the outside world saw required them to write dialogue that depicted their Elizabeth as out of her mind.
