EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning 1893 photograph, we find Princess May of Teck, later known as Queen Mary, in her role as Duchess of York. The image captures the young princess in the prime of her beauty, with an air of regality and grace that would come to define her as a beloved and influential consort of King George V. The Princess is dressed in an elegant gown, adorned with intricate beadwork and lace, the fashion of the time. Her hair is styled in a classic chignon, with a delicate pearl and diamond choker encircling her neck, adding an elegant touch to her outfit. The pearls strung along the choker are a gift from her mother-in-law, Queen Victoria, symbolizing the connection between the two royal families. Princess May, born in 1867 in Kensington Palace, London, was the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. She married Prince George, Duke of York, in 1893, and became the Duchess of York. In 1901, upon the death of Queen Victoria, her husband ascended to the throne as King George V, and Princess May became Queen Consort. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy, offering a glimpse into the life of a young princess on the cusp of becoming a queen. The intricate details of her attire and the elegant pearls around her neck serve as a reminder of the opulence and grandeur associated with the royal family, while her poised and confident demeanor showcases her innate grace and charm. This image is a valuable historical artifact, capturing a moment in time that would forever change the course of Princess May's life and the history of the British monarchy.
