    		Monday, June 05, 1978 -- DIVORCED. Princess Margaret, 47, younger sister of Britain's Queen Elizabeth; and Lord Snowdon, 48, a photographer raised to the peerage after their Westminster Abbey wedding; after 18 years of marriage, two children; in London. The routine two-minute court hearing granted the first divorce to an immediate member of the British royal family since 1540, when Henry VIII divorced Anne of Cleves.
