Queen Elizabeth II's challenges within the monarchy seem to never stop. Just a few days after her grandson, Peter Phillips announced his and her wife, Autumn's decision to finally end their marriage, recent reports revealed that her nephew, David Armstrong-Jones and his wife, Serena are also getting a divorce.

David Armstrong-Jones, who is professionally known as David Linley, is the current Earl of Snowdon. He is one of the two children of Princess Margaret, the only sibling of the Queen.

According to CNN, the Earl and Countess announced their decision after they "amicably agreed" to separate. It was also shared that the couple wishes for the press to "respect their privacy," as well as their family's.

The shocking announcement was said to be confirmed by a spokesperson. However, it was not revealed as to what are the reasons behind the divorce after 26 years of marriage.

Queen Elizabeth II's nephew, David, is currently the 21st person in line to the throne. He is also deemed to be the first person in line outside the Queen's direct descendants.

While he is far down below the line of succession, reports noted that David Armstrong-Jones, along with his wife, Serena, is very close to the Queen. But, unlike his royal cousins, the Earl of Snowdon earns his living and works outside the British Monarchy.

As per USA Today, he is well-known for founding the popular "luxury furniture" Linley. Hence, his professional name.

He and his wife, Serena, got married in St Margaret's Chapel, which is just beside the Westminster Abbey, in 1993. Today, they share two kids, Lady Margarita, 17 and Charles, Viscount Linley, 20.

The publication noted that David Armstrong-Jones used to have the same title as his eldest son, Charles. This was when Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones had him as his father was the original holder of the title.

As explained, Queen Elizabeth II gave the titles, Earl of Snowdon and Viscount Linley to his brother-in-law when he married her sister, Princess Margaret. But after almost two decades of marriage, they got divorced. This was deemed as the "first divorce" among the senior members of the British Royal Family since 1901.

On the current Earl and Countess of Snowdon's status, it remains unknown as to how they will push through with the divorce. There are no details, as well, how they plan to raise their kids, unlike Queen Elizabeth II's grandson to Princess Anne, Peter Phillips, who revealed that he and his wife, Autumn, will continue to co-parent their two kids after their separation.
