EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating the Grand Occasion: The Sphere Magazine's Special Royal Wedding Number Commemorating the Marriage of Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon The front cover of this souvenir issue of The Sphere magazine, published in 1923, marks the joyous occasion of the marriage of Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The couple, who were set to become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, exchanged vows at the hallowed Westminster Abbey on 26th April of that year. The cover design of this commemorative issue pays homage to the Scottish ancestry of the future Queen Elizabeth. A proud thistle, the national flower of Scotland, adorns the top left corner, symbolizing the connection to the bride's lineage. At the heart of the cover, a captivating image of Glamis Castle, the ancestral home of the Bowes-Lyon family, takes center stage. This magnificent Scottish edifice, nestled in the picturesque Angus countryside, has been the seat of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne for generations. The image of the newlywed couple, Prince Albert and Lady Elizabeth, graces the cover in a tender embrace, their love and happiness radiating through the black-and-white photograph. The royal couple's union was a cause for celebration not only within the British monarchy but also among the people of the United Kingdom and beyond. This special issue of The Sphere magazine serves as a cherished keepsake, preserving the memory of this historic event for generations to come.
