EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the newlywed Duke and Duchess of York, later King George V and Queen Mary, make their grand departure from Buckingham Palace following their wedding ceremony on July 6, 1893. The Duke, dressed in his full military regalia, holds tightly to the hand of his bride, Princess May of Teck, as they wave to the cheering crowd from the balcony. Below, guards stand at attention, their rifles at the ready, while the excited onlookers scatter confetti in celebration. The Duke and Duchess had married in a beautiful ceremony at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace earlier that day. The wedding was a grand affair, attended by members of the British royal family and high society. The newlyweds' departure from Buckingham Palace marked the beginning of their new life together as husband and wife. The scene is one of joy and excitement, with the newlyweds basking in the adoration of their subjects. The Duke and Duchess's carriage, drawn by four white horses, waits patiently at the palace entrance, ready to transport the royal couple to their new home. The sun shines down on the scene, casting a warm glow over the happy couple and the throngs of people gathered to witness their departure. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the British monarchy during a time of great change and excitement. It is a reminder of the enduring power and appeal of the monarchy, and the importance of tradition and ceremony in the lives of the people of the United Kingdom.
