Monday 21 November 2022 11:38 PM Mystery as King Charles's cousin the Earl of Snowdon quits furniture firm he ... trends now
One of King Charles's cousins has abruptly quit the furniture firm he has run for 40 years.
David Linley has been director of David Linley Furniture, which provides home furnishings, since 1972, putting to use his love of carpentry.
The 61-year-old, who is the son of Princess Margaret and celebrated photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, has long been known for his love of arts and crafts.
But now the 2nd Earl of Snowdon, who inherited the title after his father died in 2017 aged 86, has now unexpectedly resigned as a director of the company and two other related businesses earlier this year.
According to documents filed at Companies House last week disclose he has resigned as a director of three businesses related to the firm, David Linley Holdings, David Linley & Co and David Linley Furniture.
No reason has been given for the decision, with his spokesperson declining to comment, while friends have only confirmed he has 'resigned from the board'.
