Since the spouse of a member of the royal family is instantly in a special position, as the possible parent or ancestor of a future sovereign, it is indeed perfectly relevant for the Crown to have a say in whom a member of the royal family marries.
In the case of the royal family, Princess Margaret's decision not to marry Peter Townsend was not least because she was persuaded that as someone so close to the Throne she had a duty of obedience to royal tradition and to the teachings of the Church of England (as they then stood).
While royal styles and titles have usually been conferred and withdrawn by way of letters patent or royal warrants, precedents show that such instruments are not necessary, and there is no reason to doubt that the press release correctly expresses the sovereign's will, which is all that matters.

This is where the Amazing Royal Crowns were anointed the best of Beantown by alterna-rock's WBCN just two years ago.
Their string of bad luck began in August when, in the midst of a national tour, the Los Angeles swing outfit Royal Crown Revue (and their lawyers) forced the band to drop their middle name, thereby eliminating any potential confusion between the two acts.
Their album won't arrive in stores until August at the earliest, and pop culture barometers suggest that rockabilly is poised to take over where the swing phenomenon left off.

Many Royal Air Force squadrons and units that were active during World War Two in the reign of George VI, but were disbanded before his death, naturally bore the Tudor Crown on their unit crests.
