EDITORS COMMENTS
On the grandest of royal wedding days, the marriage of the Duke of York, future King George V, and Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, later known as Queen Mary, took place on the 6th of July, 1893, in the hallowed Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace, London. The distinguished gathering of British and foreign royalty bore witness to the union of the young couple, with the Duke resplendent in his naval uniform, and the radiant bride in a stunning white and silver brocade gown, intricately designed with clusters of roses, thistles, and shamrocks. The bride's trail of orange blossoms added an ethereal touch to her bridal attire. The entire country rejoiced in the occasion, with all England declared a holiday. The wedding presents, numbering over 3,500, were later displayed for the public to view at the Imperial Institute, drawing thousands of people in awe of the grandeur and generosity of the occasion. This image, taken from the archives of the Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans, transports us back to a time of elegance and opulence, when the union of two monarchs set the stage for a new era in British history.
