David Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley

The Linleys have three homes: a flat in Chelsea, London, a cottage on the Daylesford estate in Gloucestershire, and the Chateau d'Autet in the Luberon, Provence.

Lord Linley is the son of Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and the 1st Earl of Snowdon; thus he is the nephew of Queen Elizabeth II, and a grandson of George VI. Though his mother was a princess, in the United Kingdom royal titles and styles are passed only from the father. Similarly, the children of Princess Anne do not hold titles. He does not hold the title Viscount Linley in his own right; rather, it is a courtesy title used by the eldest son and heir general of the Earl of Snowdon. If he outlives his father, Viscount Linley will assume the title, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, in his own right. At the time of his birth he was fifth in the line of succession to the British throne; he is currently in fifteenth place and is the first person in the line of succession who is not a descendant of the Queen.
