EDITORS COMMENTS
A Regal Beginning: Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Albert, Duke of York's Wedding at Buckingham Palace (April 26, 1923) This enchanting photograph captures a pivotal moment in British royal history, as Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later known as Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, weds Albert, Duke of York, who would later become King George VI, on April 26, 1923, at Buckingham Palace. The image showcases the newlywed couple, radiant in their wedding attire, exuding an air of joy and excitement as they share their first moments as husband and wife. The Duchess, dressed in an elegant, flowing white gown and veil, gazes lovingly at her groom, while the Duke, in his military uniform, proudly holds her hand. The wedding took place during the 1920s, an era of change and modernization in the United Kingdom. The wedding itself was a grand affair, attended by thousands of well-wishers and members of the royal family. The couple's union marked the beginning of a significant chapter in British monarchy, as Albert ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, just six years later. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of family, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the history of the British monarchy during the 1920s.
