EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic and elegant black-and-white photograph, Princess Cecilie of Greece, later known as Cecile, stands radiantly before her husband, Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus of Hesse & by Rhine, following their wedding ceremony at the Schlosskirche in Darmstadt on 2 February 1931. The young bride, dressed in a beautiful white gown and veil, is surrounded by her delighted family and guests. Among those sharing in the joyous occasion is her younger brother, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, who stands proudly at the front, next to the bride. The future Duke of Edinburgh, then just ten years old, would go on to forge an extraordinary life, becoming a naval officer, a husband to Queen Elizabeth II, and the longest-serving consort in British history. The wedding of Princess Cecilie and Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus was a significant event in European royal history. The union of the Greek and German royal families brought together two prominent European dynasties, and the couple's marriage was celebrated with great fanfare. The image captures the happiness and unity of the occasion, as the newlyweds are embraced by their loved ones, marking the beginning of their life together. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and traditions of European royalty, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of a royal wedding in the early 20th century. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the lives of the royals and the celebrations that marked their significant milestones.
