Lord Harewood, though royal, had been little known to the public - indeed, barely at all, until his marriage problems gave him a fleeting prominence.
The couple guarded an area of privacy, and Snowdon continued a professional life which gave him a status in the outside world that was unique among those who had married members of the Royal Family.
Part of the structural fault was that Snowdon wanted to pursue his independent, non-royal career and found that despite the initial advantages, being royal got in the way.

Beneath all the whimsical twinkling, Snowdon is a man of secrets: his appetite for the frivolous is entirely compatible with his cast-iron discretion when it comes to more serious matters.
Though Snowdon accepted the life peerage offered to him in the new-look House of Lords, whereas the Duke of Edinburgh and his sons all refused theirs, he says he is not one for fancy titles.
There's little doubt that Snowdon's career was partly inhibited by the match; after all, he was now as famous as anyone he was commissioned to photograph.

The Queen sat for a private photo shoot in March 1982 which was either at Lord Snowdon's London studio or in Buckingham Palace, and around 200 portraits were produced.
Snowdon's views were sought on the first essays and, as only two of the photographs from the private shoot are in the Heritage Royal Mail archives, it's presumed that the rest remain in the possession of Lord Snowdon.
Lord Reilly expressed a preference for the retouched photographic approach, while Ron Dearing felt that, before any work was shown to the Queen, a further selection of portraits should be essayed.

Included are photographs drawn from his entire career, with special emphasis placed on his images of the royal family (his photos of Princess Diana offer a haunting window into her soul) and movie stars such as Vanessa Redgrave, Uma Thurman and Emma Thompson.
