EDITORS COMMENTS
A New Chapter Begins: The Royal Wedding Procession and Departure for Honeymoon This evocative photograph captures the moment when Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, later to become Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, depart from Buckingham Palace for their honeymoon on the day of their wedding, November 20, 1947. The newlyweds, beaming with joy, wave to the adoring crowds as they make their way to Waterloo Station in an open-top car. On the opposite page, a decorative chart illustrates the route taken by the Royal Wedding procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. The journey began at the iconic gates of Buckingham Palace, proceeded down The Mall, passed through Admiralty Arch, and continued along Whitehall, before culminating at the historic Westminster Abbey, where the couple exchanged their vows. The wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten was a significant event in British history, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter for the monarchy. The grand procession, filled with pageantry and tradition, was a testament to the rich heritage and history of the British monarchy, while the departure for their honeymoon signified the start of a lifelong partnership and commitment between the young couple. This photograph and the accompanying chart offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of hope, joy, and celebration, as we remember the historic Royal Wedding of 1947.
