EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, taken from the front cover of The Tatler magazine in 1948, captures the elegant and joyous moment as Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Legge, formerly Raine McCorquodale, receive their guests following their wedding at the historic St. Margaret's Church in Westminster. Raine, the charming daughter of renowned British novelist Barbara Cartland, is radiantly beautiful in her ivory satin gown with a delicate lace veil, while Gerald, the dashing young husband, looks proudly at his new bride. Their wedding reception was held at Londonderry House, a magnificent mansion in Kensington, London, which was adorned with exquisite floral arrangements and glittering crystal chandeliers. The atmosphere was filled with the sounds of laughter, music, and the clinking of champagne glasses, as the happy couple celebrated their union with their esteemed guests from high society. Raine's marriage to Gerald Legge was her first of three weddings. She later married the Earl Spencer in 1954, becoming the stepmother to the late Princess Diana. This image from The Tatler's archives offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era, as well as a fascinating connection to the royal family and the history of British high society.
