EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, we witness a precious moment from the history of the British Royal Family, as the daughters of Prince and Princess Andrew of Greece serve as bridesmaids at the wedding of their uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, and Lady Edwina Ashley, on 18 July 1922. The top image showcases two of the bridesmaids, Princess Cecily (left) and Princess Sophie (right), both dressed in beautiful white dresses adorned with floral headpieces, as they gracefully pose for the camera. The younger sisters, Princess Theodora (bottom left) and Princess Margaret (bottom right), complete the quartet of royal bridesmaids. These four girls, all elder sisters of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, were proud members of the Greek Royal Family. Their presence at the wedding of their uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, further solidified the close connections between the Greek and British Royal Families. Lord Louis Mountbatten, a beloved member of the British Royal Family, married Lady Edwina Ashley in a grand ceremony held at St. James's Palace in London. The union marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership and brought together two influential families. This photograph, taken in 1922, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Royal Family, showcasing the young bridesmaids in their stunning attire, as they celebrate the joyous occasion of their uncle's marriage. The image serves as a testament to the enduring bonds between the Greek and British Royal Families and the traditions that continue to unite them.
