This enchanting photograph is a captivating glimpse into the elegant and glamorous world of post-war British high society, as depicted in the April 1947 issue of The Tatler and Bystander. The image, titled "Youth and Gaiety at the Queen Charlotte's Ball," showcases the radiant beauty and poise of Raine McCorquodale, the daughter of renowned romance novelist Barbara Cartland and future stepmother to Diana, Princess of Wales. At the time, Raine was married to the Honorable Gerald Humphrey Legge, Viscount Lewisham, and later, the 9th Earl of Dartmouth. Raine's stunning appearance at the Queen Charlotte's Ball, an annual event held at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London, was a testament to the enduring allure of formal evenings and the elegance of the upper classes in the 1940s.

The photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when such events brought together the most prominent figures of British society for an evening of elegance, refinement, and celebration.

The event is renowned for its grandeur and exclusivity, attracting the cream of British society, including royalty, nobility, and prominent figures from the worlds of politics, art, and literature. This photograph of Raine McCorquodale, taken in 1947, is a stunning testament to the enduring allure of such events and the timeless elegance of the British social scene.
