Polly Fry, the illegitimate daughter of Lord Snowdon – born just months before he married Princess Margaret – tells her side of the story exclusively to YOU.
Rather than being twisted with guilt and shame at what I’ve done in uncovering a secret that I should have been told long ago, I can just carry on being little old me, the person I am today. Seeing them run and jump into each other’s arms after a time of separation or just strolling around arm in arm leaves me with a deep sense of pride. Before my brothers and sisters started on their ever-increasing families, I would try to gather everybody at my house at Christmas, no mean feat with, to date, 20 children between the seven of us. No comments have so far been submitted. Show me a grandmother who isn’t tickled pink when told her son or daughter’s offspring resembles her in even the tiniest way. Footballers start kicking a ball to their baby before they can even crawl.
Like most new parents, I felt special and blessed to be producing bouncing babes, and my own established family suddenly took second place to the demands of my daughters. He has a son, Jasper William Oliver Cable-Alexander, who was born in 1998 and is the product of Snowdon's affair with Melanie Cable-Alexander, a magazine editor. The sense of belonging, whether welcome or not, is strengthened by shared familial features, talents and personality traits.Professional parents are always mad keen to see if their children have inherited any of their talents. Of course they have their ups and downs and squabble over clothes and make-up and have even been known to have full on catfights over who gets to use the car. Princess Margaret's husband, Antony Armstrong-Jones, Princess Margaret's Former Husband Has Died, How Lord Altringcham Changed the Monarchy Forever, Everything We Know About Season 2 of 'The Crown'. Fry was born just a few weeks after Princess Margaret and Armstrong-Jones tied the knot (and he became the Earl of Snowdon). Because my parents divorced when I was young, unlike my daughters, I have no memories to savour of being thrown high into the air, pushed on swings or riding on the handlebars of the bike of a doting father. Being the alleged daughter of a brilliant engineer, it did always strike me as odd that I struggle to operate anything remotely mechanical, and I did start to question why I had failed to inherit a single iota of the engineering skills with which my siblings are blessed (they can all fashion cars out of matchsticks). I can nestle back into my role as a modern-day Mrs Bennet and feel blessed to have married the most adoring father our brood of daughters could wish for, and get on with the job in hand: that of marrying off my girls to men I deem would make ground-worshipping fathers – and if they are blessed with a hefty bank balance, so much the better.Despite my recent discovery, I still believe in the sanctity of family life even if in my own case it has proved to be a tad more complicated than I had previously thought. Every girl needs to have a father figure in her life, and some even have to marry to get one. Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. This is even more true after you have children.

Although we may like to think of our own generation as being wild and wonderful, in comparison to what our parents got up to in the swinging 60s we are mere innocents caught up in the aftermath of the postwar free-love era.
Even now I am flummoxed by the video recorder, and setting our digital alarm clock is beyond me.After spending years staring at myself in the mirror and then at photographs of the two possible candidates for the role of my father, I nervously took the plunge to put a stop to all the endless rumours that had been circulating round me for years.
Finding out at the age of 45 that the man I had idolised and put on a pedestal higher than Nelson’s Column since I was a small child was not in fact my father was a hard burden to bear. Polly Fry is the daughter Lord Snowdon fathered before marrying Princess Margaret. As an explosive new biography confirms that Polly Fry is the illegitimate daughter of Lord Snowdon, she reveals her side of the story exclusively for YOU.
As a young mother I felt completely and contentedly fulfilled as the babies arrived in rapid succession, and there was little time for thoughts beyond the next feed or nappy change.
It wasn't until 2004 that Fry confirmed Lord Snowden was her father by persuading him to take a DNA test.
