EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News on November 29, 1947, immortalizes the moment when a young and radiant Queen Elizabeth II made her public debut as a married woman. The image, titled "The Royal Bride," was captured by renowned British photographer Dorothy Wilding, who skillfully captured the essence of the historic occasion. The future monarch, dressed in a stunning silk gown with a long, flowing veil, beams with joy as she exits the wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey, accompanied by her new husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip Mountbatten. The newlyweds' happiness is palpable, and their union marked a significant moment in British history, as Elizabeth II became the first monarch to be crowned during wartime. The Illustrated London News, a prestigious and influential weekly publication, was the go-to source for news, politics, and culture in post-war Britain. The publication of this iconic portrait in its pages ensured that the image reached a vast audience, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. The photograph has since become an enduring symbol of the monarchy and a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling. This image, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, continues to captivate audiences and remains an essential piece of royal history. It serves as a reminder of the transformative power of a single moment, frozen in time and immortalized through the art of photography.
