EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young Princess Elizabeth II, the future monarch of Britain, serving as a bridesmaid at the wedding of her uncle, Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, on the 29th of November, 1934. The wedding took place at the hallowed Westminster Abbey in London, marking the first royal wedding ceremony to be broadcast by wireless. With the aid of loudspeakers, the crowds outside were able to listen in on the service, sharing in the joyous occasion. The image, taken during the 1940s, depicts the young princess, dressed in her bridesmaid attire, standing amongst other girls, all with beaming smiles and eager eyes. The interior of the abbey is illuminated by soft, warm lighting, creating an intimate and magical atmosphere. The Duke and Duchess of Kent, George Edward Alexander Windsor and Marina, Princess of Greece and Denmark, are seen exchanging vows, surrounded by their loved ones and the rich history of the church. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a significant moment in British history, as well as a glimpse into the life of the young princess who would one day become Queen Elizabeth II.
