EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we witness a young Princess Elizabeth II, aged 12, serving as a bridesmaid at the wedding of the Duke of Gloucester and Lady Alice, which took place in the Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace on the 6th of November 1935. The future monarch of Britain, dressed in a simple yet elegant bridesmaid's dress, stands amongst other young girls, all dressed in similar attire, with their backs turned to the camera, gazing at the bride and groom. The Duke of Gloucester, Henry, Duke of Gloucester, is seen wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, while his bride, Lady Alice, dressed in a beautiful white gown and veil, looks radiant and happy as she exits the chapel, surrounded by her bridesmaids. The guests, all dressed in their finest attire, fill the background of the image, adding to the grandeur and elegance of the occasion. This photograph is taken from the book "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive" by Dermot Morrah, published by Odhams Press Limited in London in 1947. The image captures a moment in time, a glimpse into the past, of a royal wedding that took place during the 1930s and 1940s, an era of fashion, tradition, and grandeur. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and the role of the future Queen Elizabeth II as a young bridesmaid at the Duke of Gloucester's wedding.
