EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant and distinguished figure of the Marquess of Milford Haven, David Michael Mountbatten, as he proudly serves as best man at the wedding of his cousin, Princess Elizabeth, and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, in November 1947. The Marquess, who was born on May 12, 1919, was the son of the 2nd Marquess of Milford Haven and Countess Nadejda de Torby. At the time of the royal wedding, he held the titles of Viscount Alderney before 1921 and Earl of Medina between 1921 and 1938. The Marquess is seen wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, reflecting his close connection to the British monarchy and his own naval background. The photograph was published in The Sketch, a popular British magazine at the time, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the grand occasion. The future Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey in a beautiful and historic ceremony that marked the beginning of their reign. The Marquess of Milford Haven played an important role in the wedding festivities, standing proudly by his cousin's side as she began her journey towards becoming a beloved monarch. This striking portrait, with its timeless elegance and sense of history, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mountbatten family and their deep connection to the British monarchy.
