EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history as Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten stand within the sanctuary of Westminster Abbey during their solemnisation at the High Altar. The image is taken from the inner front cover of The Sphere Royal Marriage Number, published in 1947. The scene is set with the Archbishop of Canterbury conducting the ceremony, marking the beginning of a lifelong commitment between the future Queen of England and her beloved husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. The young couple's radiant smiles and the regal atmosphere of the abbey create an enchanting tableau. The bride, dressed in a stunning white gown and veil, and the groom, resplendent in his naval uniform, exude an air of grace and elegance. Surrounded by their families and the congregation, they share a tender moment of love and devotion, symbolizing the unity and promise of their royal marriage. The photograph is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of royal weddings, as well as the enduring bond between the couple. The intricate details of Westminster Abbey, with its rich history and architectural beauty, serve as a fitting backdrop for this momentous occasion. This image, taken from the pages of The Sphere, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of hope and celebration as we witness the beginning of a royal love story that would last a lifetime.
