EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the radiant moment of the wedding ceremony between the Duke of York, later King George VI, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who would later become known as The Queen Mother, on the 26th of April, 1923, at the hallowed Westminster Abbey. The Duke, dressed in his full military regalia, exudes an air of regal confidence, while the stunning Lady Elizabeth, with her ivory satin gown and lace veil, embodies the grace and elegance of a future monarch. Surrounded by her bridesmaids, including the Honourable Mary Cambridge, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Miss Katherine Hardinge, Lady Elizabeth Thynne, Lady Elizabeth Elphinstone, Miss Betty Cator, and the Honourable Cecilia Bowes-Lyon, the young couple is bathed in the warm glow of love and happiness. The bridesmaids, dressed in elegant dresses and carrying beautiful bouquets, add a touch of whimsy and charm to the scene. This official photograph, taken during the 1920s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the era, with its intricate detailing, exquisite fabrics, and timeless beauty.
