Former British Prime Minister Margaret Roberts marries businessman Denis Thatcher in 1951 at Wesley's Chapel on City Road, London.
Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is well-known on a global scale. However, her private spouse, Denis Thatcher, is significantly less well-known for his achievements. The couple married on December 13, 1951, and were married for almost 50 years, including throughout her tenure as Prime Minister of England from 1979 to 1990. Denis died in 2003 and was known for his humour, unwillingness to talk with the press, and his mantra as the companion of England's most powerful politician, "always present, never there."
