EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant and glamorous wedding of Lady Alexandra Curzon, also known as Baba, and Major Edward Dudley Metcalfe, affectionately called 'Fruity,' at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace in 1925. Lady Alexandra, the beautiful and charismatic daughter of the renowned statesman and Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, had previously been involved with Oswald Mosley, the future leader of the British Union of Fascists. Major Metcalfe, a close friend and equerry to the Prince of Wales, was a dashing and popular figure in British society. Their wedding was a high-profile event, attended by many notable figures of the time, including the Prince of Wales, who served as best man. The bride looked radiant in her exquisite wedding gown, adorned with intricate beadwork and lace, while the groom cut a dashing figure in his military uniform. The ceremony was held in the historic and ornate Chapel Royal, adding an air of grandeur and tradition to the occasion. Despite their different backgrounds and pasts, Lady Alexandra and Major Metcalfe's marriage was a love match, and they went on to have a happy and fulfilling life together. This photograph is a testament to the allure and excitement of high society weddings in the 1920s, and the enduring power of love and romance.
