EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegant and formal atmosphere of the wedding day of Viscount Lascelles, later the 6th Earl of Harewood, and Princess Mary, the Princess Royal, on February 28, 1922. The portrait, painted by renowned artist John St. Helier Lander for the Illustrated London News, showcases the bridegroom in his full military regalia as a Lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards. Viscount Lascelles, dressed in his great coat with the distinctive red tabs and gold braid, wears the Order of the Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.) on his left chest. The uniform's polished buttons and gleaming sword add to the grandeur of the image. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring out the intricate details of the uniform, creating a sense of depth and texture. Princess Mary, the future queen consort of King George VI, is not depicted in the photograph. However, her presence is felt through the anticipation and excitement in the bridegroom's expression. The artist masterfully captures the young man's nervous yet confident demeanor, adding to the romantic and historic significance of the moment. The portrait, a testament to the grandeur and tradition of royal weddings, is a beautiful and timeless piece of history. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the marriage of two individuals who would later play significant roles in British history.
