EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we witness the poignant and intimate moment of the wedding ceremony between Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and Lady Alice Montagu Douglas Scott, which took place in the Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace on November 12, 1935. The royal couple's nuptials were a subdued affair, as the event was moved from the grandeur of Westminster Abbey due to the tragic recent death of Lady Alice's father, the 7th Duke of Buccleuch. The Duke of Gloucester, resplendent in his military uniform, exchanges heartfelt glances with his radiant bride, Lady Alice, as they exchange their wedding rings in the presence of their close family and friends. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable, as the couple's love and commitment to each other shine through in this tender exchange. The Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace, with its ornate decor and stained glass windows, provides a fitting backdrop for this royal wedding ceremony. The chapel's intimate and sacred atmosphere adds to the sense of reverence and importance of the occasion, making it a truly memorable and unique setting for the union of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. This photograph captures the essence of a royal wedding, with its rich history, tradition, and the deep emotional connection between the couple. It is a testament to the enduring power of love and the strength of family bonds, even in the face of adversity. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester's wedding ceremony remains an important chapter in the annals of royal history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the beauty and grace of this significant event.
