"Captivating and Powerful: The Legacy of Queen Consorts" From the scandalous tale of Catherine Howard in 1935 to the regal beauty of Tiy, an Ancient Egyptian queen from the 14th century BC, this collection of captivating portraits showcases the diverse roles and influences of queen consorts throughout history. Intriguingly captured by artist Winifred Mabel Brunton in 1926, Tetisheri and Nefertiti transport us back to ancient Egypt, where these powerful women held immense sway over their dynasties. Their striking images remind us that even centuries ago, queens played pivotal roles in shaping empires. Moving forward to more recent times, we witness the grandeur of Westminster Abbey as it crowns new queen consorts in 1937. This momentous occasion symbolizes a union between love and duty as these women step into their royal roles with grace and elegance. The study of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon by John Singer Sargent in 1923 captures her timeless beauty before she became known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Her poise foreshadows her influential reign alongside King George VI during World War II. Anne of Warwick's portrait from 1851 transports us to medieval England when loyalty was tested amidst political turmoil. As wife to King Richard III, she navigated treacherous waters with strength and resilience. Queen Mary's visit to a Welsh colliery in 1935 demonstrates how queen consorts connected with their people on a personal level. With compassion for those working tirelessly underground, she showed solidarity with her subjects during challenging times. Queen Adelaide's image reminds us that not all queens consort were born into royalty; some rose through marriage like Adelaide did when she wedded King William IV. Her quiet dignity exemplifies the importance of support behind every great king.
