Llewellyn was a gardener 17 years her junior, and Princess Margaret was smitten.

Princess Margaret was married to Lord Snowdon in a union marred by infidelity.

Sadly, they were not a secret for long and were discovered one year later.

Lady Anne had invited Llewellyn to her villa on Mustique Island in the Caribbean.

Ironically, the infidelities of Lord Snowdon, Princess Margaret’s husband at the time, were conveniently overlooked.

According toThe Guardian, he attended the “quiet farewell” before Lady Margaret’s cremation.

Such gestures provide insight into Llewellyn’s character, which Princess Margaret adored.

Furthermore, he maintained his discretion by never divulging any intimate details of their relationship.

Despite their separation, Llewellyn and the princess attended the same events and were photographed together.
