EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the 1949 Wimbledon Championships, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, is seen graciously posing with the champion of the men's singles final, Frederick Schroeder, and the gallant loser, Jaroslav Drobny. The Duchess, who was the mother of the current Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Prince Michael of Kent, was a beloved figure in British royal circles. Born in 1906 as Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, she was the daughter of Princess Helen of Russia and Prince Nicholas of Greece. The annual tennis tournament at Wimbledon, held in the picturesque suburbs of London, is renowned as the most prestigious and traditional of all Grand Slam championships. In 1949, the event was held against the backdrop of post-war optimism and renewed hope for the future.

The Duchess of Kent, dressed elegantly in a striking hat and dress, adds an air of regal charm to the scene.
