EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, attend the wedding ceremony of Lady Palmer and Mr. Alexander Abel Smith at the Queens Chapel, Malborough Gate, in 1953. Lady Palmer, whose birth name was Antonia David, was a widow and a lady-in-waiting to the Queen at the time. The groom, Mr. Abel Smith, was the son of the 6th Earl of Kirkcaldy. The wedding took place just a few years after Queen Elizabeth II's own coronation, which had taken place on June 2, 1953. The young Queen, resplendent in her regal attire, is seen accompanied by her consort, the Duke of Edinburgh, who looks on with a proud and supportive expression. The couple's presence at the wedding adds an air of grandeur and significance to the occasion. Surrounding the royal couple are other notable figures of British society. Among them are Sir Henry Abel Smith, the groom's father, and Lady Carolyn Abel Smith, the bride's sister. The wedding took place in the beautiful setting of the Queens Chapel, which is located within the grounds of the Palace of Marlborough in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. The photograph captures a moment of joy and celebration, as the newlyweds exchange vows in the presence of their loved ones and the esteemed monarch of the United Kingdom. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the important role that the Queen and her family continue to play in the lives of the people of the United Kingdom.
