EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent advertisement announces the upcoming royal wedding of His Royal Highness, the Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, which is set to take place in 1923. The Duke of York, who would later become King George VI, and Lady Elizabeth, later known as Queen Elizabeth, were a beloved couple whose union brought great joy to the British people. The advertisement, placed by McVitie and Price of Edinburgh, an unexpected source for such an announcement, proudly proclaim their association with the royal event. Despite being known primarily as biscuit makers, they have taken on the role of confectioners for this grand occasion. The image showcases a stunning 10ft high replica of the royal wedding cake, complete with intricately designed tiers, adorned with flowers and other decorative elements. The cake, a symbol of celebration and prosperity, represents the excitement and anticipation surrounding the upcoming nuptials. The advertisement also highlights the significance of the event by incorporating the royal crest and the Union Jack, further emphasizing the grandeur and importance of the occasion. The use of the phrase "Mum and Mother" in the text adds a personal touch, inviting the public to be a part of the celebration and share in the joy of the royal wedding. This advertisement is a testament to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the royal wedding of the Duke of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and the unique role that McVitie and Price of Edinburgh played in bringing the event to life through their confectionery creations.
