Emasculated by his wife's growing Royal stature may have been a tad overblown for example

But there was real tension between the couple
particularly when it came to the legacy and prominence of their respective houses
Mountbatten was the adoptive name your husband ultimately became a British citizen

There's no animosity torn between wanting to support her sister and having to protect the crown and her image
Tough decisions had to be made to keep the lovebirds apart although in real life
It was margaret who publicly announced that they would not wed the shakespearean love story was otherwise rooted in fact
