EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from May 1936, Her Majesty Queen Mary, the beloved and long-reigning queen consort of King George V, is seen accompanied by her daughter-in-law, the Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother), Princess Elizabeth (who would later become Queen Elizabeth II), and Princess Margaret, during a delightful visit to the picturesque Kew Gardens in Richmond, London. The springtime setting, with its lush greenery and blooming flowers, provides a beautiful backdrop for the royal quartet, who are dressed in elegant attire, reflecting the grace and sophistication of the British monarchy. Queen Mary, who was known for her exquisite taste in jewels, is particularly striking in this image, adorned with some of her most beloved and magnificent pieces. The centerpiece of her neckline is a breathtaking sapphire and diamond necklace, which adds a regal and resplendent touch to her outfit. The necklace, which is believed to have been a gift from her husband, King George V, is just one of the many stunning jewels in her extensive collection. The visit to Kew Gardens, a popular destination for the British royal family, offered a welcome respite from the formalities and duties of court life, allowing the royals to enjoy a leisurely day out in the fresh air and sunshine. The warmth and camaraderie between Queen Mary and her daughters-in-law, as well as the young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, is evident in this charming photograph, which captures a moment of joy and relaxation in the midst of their busy lives.
