EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Duchess of Portland, Winifred Cavendish-Bentinck (1863-1954), is captured in her regal splendor during the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary in 1913. The Duchess, who held the distinguished title of Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE), is shown wearing the grand robes and headdress of her noble rank. Her Grace was one of four duchesses who had the privilege of holding the Pall over the Queen during the anointing ceremony, an ancient tradition that symbolizes the protection of the monarch. Beyond her aristocratic duties, the Duchess of Portland was a renowned social reformer and a dedicated member of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (R.S.P.C.A.). Her commitment to this cause reflected her compassionate nature and her belief in the importance of alleviating suffering, whether it be that of animals or of her fellow human beings. This photograph is a testament to the Duchess's significant role in British history, as well as her enduring legacy as a champion for social justice and animal welfare. The image evokes the grandeur and tradition of the coronation ceremony, while also highlighting the compassion and humanity of one of its most distinguished participants. The Duchess of Portland's story serves as a reminder of the power of individual action to effect positive change, and her unwavering dedication to her causes continues to inspire us today.
