In the mid-Sixties, serious cracks began to appear in what, to the public gaze, appeared to be a perfect royal marriage. It seemed to Jocelyn Stevens that his earlier misgivings had been well-founded then, in 1964, another person entered the innermost circle, Peter Sellers. The Princess met him when Lord Snowdon was commissioned to photograph Sellers, then well into his successful film career. Sellers and the Princess clicked instantly. They made wacky home movies together and later, when the marriage to Lord Snowdon was over in all but name, they met secretly at his large flat in Clarges Street.
Margaret would be dropped off there by her detective who was told she was attending a dinner party. The door would be opened by Sellers, disguised as a butler. He would then disappear and announce Princess Margaret, using different voices to make the detective, on the doorstep, imagine the flat was filled with people. When he left Margaret and Sellers would collapse with laughter.
Sellers was close to Margaret throughout the 1960s. According to the actor's son Michael, there was an affair. He said that his father confessed it to him before he died of a heart attack in 1980. Michael, a property manager who lives in north London, said: "He said Margaret invited him to Kensington Palace. They had dinner, then the servants tactfully withdrew afterwards. That is when it happened." In 1966 the Princess started a passionate relationship with another nightclub entertainer, Robin Douglas-Home. She was 35, subject to frequent bouts of deep depression, drinking heavily and despite her many friends, desperately lonely. He was a raffish gambler, womanising pianist and writer who was even more emotionally unstable than she.
