The British royal family continues to be haunted. A week after it was announced that the eldest grandson of Elizabeth II, Peter Phillips and his wife, were divorcing after 12 years of marriage, it became known that the Queen’s nephew also filed for divorce from his wife, write "Facts".
The son of Her Majesty's younger sister, the late Princess Margaret, had been married for nearly 26 years.
58-year-old David Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon (during the life of his father Anthony David wore the courtesy title “Viscount Linley”) and his wife Serena said that they parted by mutual consent and did not hold offenses against each other. There is no question of adultery on any side.

According to friends, David "spends too much time away from his wife because of his work." In 1985, he founded David Linley Furniture Ltd., an exclusive furniture company. He was even called the "royal carpenter."
David, who ranks 21st in the line for the British throne, married Serena Alaina Stanhope, daughter of Charles Stanhope, Earl of Harrington, in October 1993. They have two children - 20-year-old Viscount Linley Charles Armstrong-Jones and 17-year-old lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones (she was one of the flower girls at the weddings of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011).
