EDITORS COMMENTS
Waiting to See the Princess: A Spectacle of Pageantry and Excitement before the Wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent and Princess Marina of Greece (1934) This double-page spread from The Sphere captures the electric atmosphere outside the gates of Buckingham Palace in the week leading up to the highly anticipated wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece. The image is a testament to the pageantry and excitement that surrounded the royal event, as thousands of well-wishers gathered in the hope of catching a glimpse of the future Duchess of Kent. The animated scenes depicted in the photograph show the crowd in various states of anticipation and jubilation. Some are seen cheering and waving, while others are deep in conversation or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere. The guards, dressed in their ceremonial uniforms, stand tall and alert, maintaining order amidst the excitement. Princess Marina, who would go on to become the mother of the late Princess Alexandra, Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, is seen leaving the palace on two occasions during the week. The first time, she inspected the wedding presents at St. James Palace, while the second time she visited No. 3 Belgrave Square, where she and the Duke would make their home. The wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece was a memorable occasion in the annals of royal history. This double-page spread from The Sphere offers a unique glimpse into the pageantry and spectacle of the event, transporting us back to a time when the world held its breath in anticipation of a royal wedding.
