EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the elegant and historic moment of the wedding of Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, to Lady Edwina Ashley in 1922. Mountbatten, who later became First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy, is depicted in full naval uniform, proudly standing next to his bride in this image from The Sketch. The young couple's wedding was a significant event in British royal and social history, as Mountbatten was a grandnephew of Queen Victoria and a cousin of King George V. The image exudes an air of grandeur and tradition, reflecting the opulence and formality of the time. The Mountbattens went on to have a long and prominent place in British history, with Louis serving as the last Viceroy of India before its independence in 1947 and playing a key role in the royal family during World War II. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of this influential and storied couple on the occasion of their marriage.
