EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the moment of pure joy and love as Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, and Edwina Cynthia Ashley, the beautiful heiress and socialite, exit St. Margaret's, Westminster after their wedding on 18th July 1922. The newlyweds are surrounded by the elegance and grandeur of the occasion, with the bridesmaids, Princesses Cecilia and Sophia of Greece, smiling and holding the bride's voluminous train. The bride, radiant in her silver gown designed by Reville and Rossiter, carries a bouquet of Madonna lilies, adding to the romantic ambiance. Officers of the Renown, the ship in which the bridegroom had voyaged with the Prince of Wales on his tours, formed an arch of swords under which the bridal procession passed out after the ceremony, adding a touch of royalty and military tradition to the day. Lord Mountbatten and Lady Edwina's marriage was a highly publicized and much-loved event, marking the beginning of a lifelong partnership and a significant chapter in British history.
