The Duke and Duchess, who would go on to become monarchs of the United Kingdom, are seen here surrounded by an array of precious and priceless gifts from the royal family and notable figures.

The necklace, a gift from Queen Alexandra, is also visible, featuring a beautiful pendant with a diamond and pearl drop. Another striking gift is the tiara, necklace, and earrings set, presented by King George V.
