EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a precious moment in royal history, as Queen Mary (1867-1953), the Queen Consort of King George V, and her eldest granddaughter, Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), attend the wedding of Lady May Cambridge and Captain Henry Abel Smith in 1931. In this charming image, the young Princess Elizabeth, aged eight, is seen wearing the beautiful nigella blue dress she donned for her first appearance as a bridesmaid. The dress features a tiny, fitted bodice, accentuating her youthful figure, and a cap of intricately latticed blue velvet adorns her head, adding an elegant touch to her ensemble. Queen Mary, who is fondly holding her granddaughter's hand, wears a regal expression, while Captain Henry Abel Smith, a young and dashing figure in his naval uniform, looks on with admiration. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British monarchy and the special bond between a grandmother and her grandchild.
