No, it was definitely Princess Margaret. She married Mr Antony Armstrong Jones. He did not get his Earldom until just before the birth of their first child.
You're right, my apologies. Princess Margaret married before Princess Alexandra.
However, as JR76 pointed out above, the decision on how a princess who remained a princess but also used her husband's name should be styled was made with Princess Alexandra, as Princess Margaret did not (her legal family name presumably changed from Windsor to Armstrong-Jones on marriage, but she did not use it).
Anyway if you want more information look up the relevant Princess on Wikipedia and look at titles and styles.
I am afraid that, other than perhaps for British titles, Wikipedia is not a credible source on titles and styles. From what I have observed of it, much of what is written there (and to be fair, also on other sites, forums, and social media) on the titles and styles of the other European monarchies and nobilities are lies and half-truths. A search through my previous posts will bring up examples.
Of course, when Wikipedia (or any other site) cites a credible source for what it writes, that is a different matter.
