EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the annals of royal history, Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge and Prince Francis of Teck depart from their wedding ceremony at St. Anne's Church in Kew, surrounded by a joyous crowd. The newlyweds, who married on June 12, 1866, were the youngest child of Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, and a beloved cousin of Queen Victoria. Their union would produce four children, the eldest of whom, Princess May of Teck, would later become Queen Consort of King George V. As the couple made their way to their carriage, they were playfully pelted with an assortment of shoes and slippers, a time-honored tradition believed to bring good luck to the newlywed couple. The bride, elegantly dressed in her bridal gown and veil, gracefully acknowledges the well-wishers, while the groom, in his formal attire, smiles and shields his wife from the flying footwear. The scene exudes a sense of jubilation and merriment, as the community comes together to celebrate the union of the young couple. The carriage, adorned with ribbons and flowers, awaits to whisk the newlyweds away on their journey as husband and wife. This cherished moment in royal history continues to captivate us, reminding us of the enduring traditions and the power of love and community in bringing people together.
