EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph from The Tatler, dated 1960, Page reports on the esteemed godparents to the Queen's children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne. The image showcases a list of the noble figures who held this sacred role in the young royals' lives. Prince Charles was godfathered by Lord Louis Mountbatten, the beloved uncle and mentor to the future monarch. Mountbatten, an Earl in the British peerage, was a pivotal figure in the Royal Family, having played a significant role in the education and upbringing of the young Prince. Meanwhile, Princess Anne's godmother was Lady Patricia Brabourne, nee Mountbatten. Patricia, a British aristocrat, was the sister of Lord Louis Mountbatten, making her a cherished family member. Her presence in Anne's life was a source of comfort and guidance, as she grew up in the public eye. The Queen, herself, had been a godmother to several children, including Princess Frederica of Hanover and Viscount Lascelles. Frederica, a German princess, was the eldest granddaughter of King George V, and her godmother's role was a symbol of the close ties between the British and German royal families. Viscount Lascelles, on the other hand, was the eldest son of the 6th Earl of Harewood, and his godmother's relationship with him was a testament to the Queen's role as a respected and beloved figure in the aristocratic community. This photograph captures a moment in history, highlighting the intricate web of relationships and connections that bind the British monarchy and aristocracy together.
