EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating the Marriage of Princess Alexandra of Kent and the Hon. Angus Ogilvy: A Regal Event on the Front Cover of The Illustrated London News in 1963 The Illustrated London News (ILN) commemorated the grand wedding of Princess Alexandra of Kent and the Hon. Angus Ogilvy with a special edition cover on April 24, 1963. The front cover, adorned with a rich tartan background, paid homage to the Scottish heritage of the groom. Princess Alexandra, the youngest daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, was marrying for the second time after her first husband, Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, abdicated the throne in 1936. Her new husband, Angus Ogilvy, was a Scottish aristocrat and the eldest son of the 12th Earl of Airlie. The royal wedding took place at the hallowed Westminster Abbey, a historic venue that has hosted numerous royal ceremonies throughout history. The couple exchanged vows in the presence of the Queen and other members of the British royal family, making their union an event of national significance. The ILN's front cover, with its striking tartan background, encapsulated the regal atmosphere of the wedding and the Scottish heritage of the groom. The cover design, a testament to the magazine's commitment to capturing the essence of significant events, remains a cherished piece of royal wedding history.
