Great pictures, Iceflowe!!! Viscount Linley looks as though he's lost a good amount of weight. He looks quite handsome, actually. I assume the little boy and girl in the pictures are his children. Does anyone know how old they are now? Thank you.

Oh, and I wanted to add that Serena looks remarkable. Like she has hardly aged at all.

Do You Have Any Pics Of His Wedding Day. I Guess His Wife Wear A Dress That Looks Like Princess´s Margaret.

You are welcome, Bella
Their son Charles had his 7th birthday last week (he was born on July 2, 1999) and their daughter Margarita Elizabeth was born on May 14, 2002, so she's 4 now. The text of the pictures does not say that the children are their children, but it's possible, I would say

 

[Lady Bluffton]

Amazing how much Viscount Linley reminds me of Prince Andrew.

He is definately a Windsor, there is no doubting that!

The little boy is definitely Charles. He looks the exact same as earlier, formally identified pics, of their son. Since the only part of the girl that's visible is the back of her head, I can't be positive about her being MArgarita, but the hair color matches Margarita's hair color at Trooping the Colour, and Serena seems to be picking her up, so I'd say it's a safe guess.

 

[GrandDuchess]

After all the recent attention given to the auction of Princess Margaret's belongings, I came to think about something that I would like to ask if any of you know...

When Princess Margaret transferred the ownership of her holiday home, Les Jolies Eaux on Mustique (in the late 90's I think, maybe 98/99 or so), Viscount Linley sold it and bought castle in France, Château d'Autet or something like that I think it was named. Does anyone know if he and his family still owns it and uses it? Do they go there for holidays every year?

PORT ELLEN, SCOTLAND - JULY 21: Viscount David Linley and Charles Armstrong-Jones arrive to embark on the Hebridean Princess at Port Ellen for a week-long cruise around the Western Isles to celebrate the Queen's 80th birthday on July 21, 2006 in the Isle of Islay.

[Lady Jean]

Are they accompanied by the nanny Jessie Webb who used to care for William and Harry (the lady seen over the left shoulder of Serena and Sarah?....that lady sure resembles her anyway). Do you know who she works for, Sarah or David or another royal?

 

[Emily]

Yes, I believe that is Jessie Webb but I dont' know who she works for.

 

[flora]

...And who is that lady with the child, between Peter and Autumn ?

 

[Heidi P.]

What an interesting series of photos! Imagine a week long cruise with your
relatives! Interesting concept.

 

[kelly9480]

...And who is that lady with the child, between Peter and Autumn ?

The woman in the brownish suit is Serena Linley.

 

[TLLK]

It's nice to see David and Sarah with both of their families. I hope that there was no truth to the rumor that the auction had caused some strain in their relationship.

 

[iceflower]

I do have two additions to the pics I posted from July 9, 2006, the 12th Cartier Style Et Luxe Competition lunch they all attended. Margarita looks soooo cute, I hope you enjoy as well

(HELLO)

 

[Bella]

Great pictures, Iceflower! So there will be a third generation of Snowden photoraphers! You are right, little Margarita is adorable. A little bit shy it seems, too.

 

[Alison20]

In Iceflower's posting 103 with the lovely pictures of the Linleys getting on the Hebridean Princess - there is a mistake in the caption!

The Isle of Islay is not in England - it is in Scotland. Both countries are part of Britain or the UK, but they are definitely separate! It is like mentioning that Dresden is in Bavaria when you mean Germany.

Sorry - pet hobbyhorse!!!

By the way, the Royal Family always used to go cruising round the north of Scotland every summer as a precurser to their stay at Balmoral. However, when the Labour Government came to power they took the Royal Yacht Britannia away. (It is now a tourist attraction at Leith, the port of Edinburgh). It was a very sad day for the Royal Family, the Queen in particular, and she is on video shedding a tear at the decomissioning ceremony. So now as a special 80th Birthday treat, she has to hire a small cruise ship.

When I lived in Caithness, in the north of Scotland, we used to see the Royal Yacht come into Scrabster Bay, and various members of the Royal Family would come ashore to be greeted by the Queen Mother, and go and spend some time at the Castle of Mey with her, before continuing on round the coast to Aberdeen, and Balmoral.

Bella, I had not thought of that photographer fact before, great idea you had in mind!!! Margarita's shyness makes her even cuter in my eyes, I think she's not that used to have that many unknown photographers around her..

Alison20, thank you for telling us about the Isle of Islay, I had simply copied the caption, not thinking about any possible mistakes, Getty could have made..

 

[lady_windsor]

Margarita is adorable. She looks so much like her mother. Its a shame we dont get to see mny picures of her.

 

[Opal]

Yes, I think Margarita looks like her mother and Charles is the spitting image of his father.

 

[iceflower]

Here is a portrait of Lord Linley, I think it was taken in 2000:

(HELLO)

 

[Bella]

Thanks, Iceflower. He's not really a very attractive man in the conventional sense, but, like Charles, there's something attractive about his looks. He's always dressed impeccably well, too.

How irresponsible of him....

Finally found an answer for you. They do still have a home in France. David gave an interview in The Times where he talks about it.
