EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting sketch captures the magical moment when Princess Margaret, resplendent in her ivory satin wedding gown with a train of silk tulle, and her new husband, Anthony Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon, make their way down the aisle of Westminster Abbey following their marriage on May 6, 1960. The scene is filled with the elegance and grandeur of a royal wedding, as the newlyweds are surrounded by the beauty of the historic abbey and the proud faces of their family and friends. Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, was the first royal to marry in the Abbey since the Queen's own wedding to Prince Philip in 1947. Her choice of husband, photographer Tony Armstrong-Jones, was a groundbreaking decision as he was not of noble birth, but was instead a commoner. Their unconventional union was a breath of fresh air in the rigid and traditional British monarchy, and their marriage was celebrated as a modern and progressive step for the royal family. The procession of the bride and groom out of the abbey marked the beginning of their new life together as husband and wife, and this sketch is a beautiful reminder of the joy and excitement of that special day. The intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate decorations of the abbey to the delicate folds of the bride's train, transport us back to this iconic moment in royal history.
