EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history - the No 2 dress jacket worn by HRH Princess Mary, The Princess Royal, during her time in the Womens Royal Army Corps from 1962 to 1964. The fabric of this iconic jacket is beautifully captured, highlighting its intricate details and elegant design. Princess Mary's connection to the military runs deep. Having served as Controller Commandant of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) during World War II, she was later appointed as Controller Commandant of the WRAC when it was formed in 1949. Throughout her tenure, she held the honorary rank of Major General until her passing in 1965. This image not only pays tribute to Princess Mary's significant role within the armed forces but also symbolizes women's empowerment and their increasing presence in traditionally male-dominated fields. It serves as a reminder that even royalty can break barriers and make meaningful contributions beyond societal expectations. The timeless nature of this photograph allows us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of gender equality while acknowledging that there is still work to be done. This print captures an important moment in history and serves as a testament to Princess Mary's dedication and service to her country.
