EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment as HM Queen Elizabeth II stands alongside her Maids of Honour during her coronation on the 2nd of June, 1953. The talented artist Cecil Beaton beautifully captures the elegance and regality of this significant event. Following in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II chose to have six Maids of Honour instead of pages to carry her velvet train throughout the ceremony. These remarkable women included Lady Moyra Hamilton (now Lady Moyra Campbell), Lady Anne Coke (now The Rt Hon The Lady Glenconner), Lady Rosemary Spencer-Churchill (now Lady Rosemary Muir), Lady Mary Baillie-Hamilton (now Lady Mary Russell), Lady Jane Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby (now The Rt Hon The Baroness Willoughby de Eresby), and Lady Jane Vane-Tempest-Stewart (now The Rt Hon The Lady Rayne). The photograph showcases these extraordinary ladies dressed in their exquisite gowns and robes, standing proudly beside their monarch. Each detail has been colorized to bring vibrancy to this image from the 1950s. This group portrait not only symbolizes a significant moment in British history but also highlights the timeless beauty and grace exhibited by these women. It serves as a reminder of an era when tradition met modernity, capturing both the grandeur of royalty and the changing times. Cecil Beaton's artistry immortalizes this state occasion for generations to come, allowing us to marvel at HM Queen Elizabeth II's reign while appreciating the contributions made by her loyal Maids of Honour.
