The Wedded Couple of the Aristocratic Elite: A Regal Affair - The Tatler Cover Reveals the Extravagant Wedding of Lord John Henry Montagu Manners, Marquess of Granby, and Miss Kathleen Tennant (1916) Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, the aristocratic coterie of British high society continued to celebrate the grandeur of life's most cherished moments. The front cover of The Tatler magazine proudly showcases the opulent wedding of Lord John Henry Montagu Manners, Marquess of Granby, and Miss Kathleen Tennant. Lord Granby, the only son of the esteemed Duke of Rutland, was a prominent figure in the aristocratic circles of the time. Serving on the staff of the General Officer Commanding the North Midland division, he was poised for a distinguished military career. However, his mother, the Duchess of Rutland, famously intervened, ensuring that her son would not see action on the front lines. The wedding took place in 1916, a time when the nation's focus was on the ongoing war efforts. Yet, the souls of the people were not forgotten as they gathered to celebrate this union of two prominent members of the nobility and peerage. The bride, Miss Kathleen Tennant, was a captivating beauty, and the groom, Lord Granby, was the epitome of aristocratic grace and elegance. The wedding was a grand affair, reflecting the wealth and status of the couple and their families. The image on the Tatler cover captures the essence of a bygone era, where the upper classes continued to celebrate the joys of life amidst the challenges of war. This historical photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the aristocracy and the significance of marriage within the aristocratic community during the early 20th century.
