EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting color photograph, Princess Alexandra of Kent, later to become the Honourable Lady Ogilvy, is captured in the idyllic setting of her mother's home, Coppins, during her first summer season in 1954. Princess Alexandra, born on December 25, 1936, was the youngest granddaughter of King George V and Queen Mary. She is seen here in her youthful beauty, dressed in a elegant summer dress, as she enjoys a leisurely moment in the garden. The presence of her grandmother, Queen Mary, adds an extra layer of regal charm to the scene. Queen Mary, who was the widow of King George V, was known for her grace and style, and her influence is evident in the young princess's poised demeanor. The garden at Coppins, with its lush greenery and vibrant flowers, provides a picturesque backdrop for this intergenerational moment between a princess and her grandmother. Princess Alexandra's debutante season in 1952 had already made headlines, and this photograph from the following summer showcases her continued growth and maturity. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, as well as the enduring bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, and it offers a glimpse into the life of a young princess as she navigated her role in the royal family during the 1950s. The garden at Coppins, with its timeless beauty, serves as a fitting stage for this charming portrait of Princess Alexandra and Queen Mary.
