Coronation Lascelles Robes Sister Viii Viscountess Windsor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of regal splendor as Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, and his beloved sister, Princess Mary, later Viscountess Lascelles, prepare for the coronation of their father, King George V, in 1911. The siblings, both dressed in their resplendent robes and headdresses, exude an air of grace and poise as they stand together, their expressions filled with a sense of duty and pride. Prince Edward, the eldest son of the monarch, was the heir apparent, while Princess Mary, the fourth child and third daughter, held a special place in the royal family as the eldest unmarried daughter. Their close bond is evident in this image, as they share a moment of quiet reflection before the momentous occasion that would mark the beginning of a new reign. The coronation of King George V, which took place on June 22, 1911, was a grand and elaborate affair, attended by hundreds of dignitaries, nobles, and commoners from across the British Empire. The event was a symbol of the unity and strength of the British monarchy, and the image of the Prince and Princess in their coronation robes serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition of the British royal family. This photograph, taken at the height of the Edwardian era, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the royal court, and the deep connection between the members of the royal family. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the importance of family and tradition in shaping the course of history.
