EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Edwina Mountbatten, born Edwina Ashley, in the early years of her marriage to Earl Louis Mountbatten of Burma. The image, dating from the 1920s, shows Lady Edwina in an elegant and fashionable cloche hat adorned with a luxurious fur trim, reflecting the opulence and glamour of the era. Lady Edwina was born in 1901 and married Earl Louis Mountbatten in 1922, making her the last Vicereine of India before its independence in 1947. Her friendship with Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru played a significant role in the country's transition to self-rule. The Mountbattens' time in India was marked by grand ceremonies, political intrigue, and cultural exchange, making this period a fascinating chapter in both British and Indian history. Lady Edwina's striking appearance in this photograph is a testament to the elegance and grace that defined her time as a member of the British royalty. The image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the past and the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on history.
