Nude Photos of Princess Margaret up for Grabs

A collection of 70 photographs scheduled for sale this week in Britain contains a 44-year-old picture of Princess Margaret nude in a Kensington Palace bathtub.

The picture of the Queen’s 32-year-old sister was taken by Lord Snowdon only two years after her marriage. The 76-year-old society photographer has decided to put it on public display and sell 50 prints for 2,000 pounds each.

It comes after the much-publicised Christie’s auction in June, in which the couple’s son Viscount Linley raised just under £14million in a ‘clearance’ sale of his mother’s possessions.

In the photo, taken in 1962, Princess Margaret’s hair is immaculately styled and she wears the stunning Poltimore tiara while bars of soap and a sponge sit on the bath edge and towels are draped in the background.
