EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures a significant moment in the history of the British monarchy: the betrothal of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, to Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, in 1935. The image showcases the royal couple standing before King George V and Queen Consort Mary of Teck, with the Duke of Buccleuch to their left. The future spouses, both dressed elegantly in formal attire, exude a sense of regal poise and confidence. Prince Henry, the sixth son of King George V and Queen Mary, was known for his military career and dedication to public service. Princess Alice, a granddaughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, was admired for her beauty and grace. Their union was a strategic alliance, as it strengthened the ties between the British and Danish royal families. King George V, the monarch at the time, is depicted in his regal attire, adorned with the Order of the Garter and the Star of India. Queen Consort Mary of Teck, wearing the Order of the Garter and the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, offers her blessings to the couple. The Duke of Buccleuch, a prominent Scottish nobleman, stands proudly beside them, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. This photograph, taken in 1935, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy. The betrothal of Prince Henry and Princess Alice marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership and the continuation of the royal lineage. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of family, alliances, and the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
