EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting portrait captures the youthful and vibrant spirit of H.R.H. Princess Mary of Teck, Duchess of York, as she dances the Charleston in London during the exhilarating jazz age of the 1920s. The photograph, taken in 1921, showcases Princess Mary's infectious energy and her modern, carefree attitude, which contrasted with the traditional image of the British royal family at the time. Princess Mary, who was born on May 25, 1897, was the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck and the sister of the future King George VI. She was known for her charitable work and her popular radio broadcasts during World War II. In 1922, she married the future King George VI's brother, the Viscount Lascelles, who later became the Duke of York. The photograph was taken during a lively social event in London, where jazz music filled the air and the Charleston dance craze was sweeping the city. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of cultural and social transformation, and this portrait of Princess Mary perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the era. The photograph was published in various magazines and newspapers around the world, bringing the princess's image to a global audience and further solidifying her popularity. Today, it remains a cherished reminder of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring charm of H.R.H. Princess Mary, who passed away in 1965.
