EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, newlyweds Lord Louis Mountbatten and Lady Edweden (née Lady Edwina Ashley) are seen beaming with joy as they pose next to the Rolls Royce automobile that Lady Mountbatten had given her husband as a wedding gift. The couple, who had just returned to Broadlands in Hampshire after an extended honeymoon, had sailed back to Southampton aboard the RMS Olympic. The Rolls Royce, a symbol of luxury and status, was a fitting present for the noble couple. The Rolls Royce, adorned with elegant decorations and a distinctive mascot, adds an air of grandeur to the scene. The mascot, a figure in the shape of a signaller, was a generous gift from Major and Lady Zia Wernher. The signaller mascot was a nod to Lord Mountbatten's military background, as he had served in the Royal Navy during World War I. The wedding of Lord Louis Mountbatten and Lady Edwina Ashley in 1922 was a grand affair, attended by members of the British royal family and high society. The couple's honeymoon had been a lengthy one, and they had traveled extensively before returning to their estate in Hampshire. The presentation of the Rolls Royce as a wedding gift was a fitting way to celebrate their return and the beginning of their married life together. This photograph captures a moment of happiness and celebration, as the newlyweds stand proudly next to their new automobile, a symbol of their love and the beginning of their life together. The Rolls Royce, with its elegant design and distinctive mascot, adds to the sense of luxury and grandeur of the occasion.
