Queen Elizabeth II’s nephew David Armstrong-Jones is set to divorce, a spokesman said Monday — the second marriage split in the British royal family announced within a week. Armstrong-Jones, 58, the son of Queen Elizabeth’s late sister princess Margaret, and his 49-year-old wife Serena have been married since 1993. Known professionally as David Linley, the Earl of Snowdon is a furniture maker and was the chairman of Christie’s auction house. The news comes after Queen Elizabeth’s oldest grandchild Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn announced last Tuesday that they have separated and will divorce. They come after Queen Elizabeth’s grandson Prince Harry and his US wife Meghan quit their royal roles last month in search of financial independence, and moved to Canada.
