EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the young and radiant Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, graces the lush green grounds of Wimbledon, London in 1926. At the age of 23, the Duchess, who was the wife of the future King George VI, embodies the essence of elegance and grace as she watches an exciting tennis match during the renowned Wimbledon Championships. Dressed in a stylish and sophisticated outfit of the 1920s, the Duchess dons a chic hat adorned with a delicate veil, adding a touch of refinement to her attire. Her expressive face is filled with delight and fascination as she follows the progress of the game, her eyes fixed intently on the action unfolding before her. The Duchess of York's presence at Wimbledon during the 1920s was a regular occurrence, as she and her husband, who was then the Duke of York, were avid tennis enthusiasts. Their love for the sport would later be passed down to their eldest daughter, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who has been a devoted patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since her coronation in 1953. This photograph, taken in the heart of the 1920s, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of one of the most beloved and revered figures in British royal history. The Duchess of York's youthful beauty and infectious enthusiasm for life are on full display, making this image a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of the British monarchy and the social scene of the 1920s.
