A Coronation Festivity: A Fancy Dress Ball at the Savoy Hotel in Aid of the Prince Francis of Teck Memorial Fund of the Middlesex Hospital, 1911 This elegant photograph captures the grandeur and generosity of a royal coronation event in support of a worthy cause. The Prince and Princess of Teck, along with the distinguished patronesses of the function, are seen gracing the Savoy Hotel in London for an unforgettable evening of festivities. The event, held in 1911, was organized to raise funds for the Prince Francis of Teck Memorial Fund of the Middlesex Hospital. The Prince and Princess of Teck, Alexander and May of Teck, were at the helm of this charitable affair, demonstrating their commitment to the community and their dedication to healthcare. The ladies in attendance, dressed in their most elaborate and creative fancy dresses, added to the enchanting atmosphere of the evening. The excitement of the night reached its peak when Prince Alexander presented a stunning diamond pendant, valued at 250 guineas, to the lady with the prettiest dress. The pendant, a generous gift from the renowned jewelry house, Messrs Cartier, was a testament to the generosity and extravagance of the era. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of royalty, charity, and fashion during the early 20th century. The Prince Francis of Teck Memorial Fund, established in memory of the late Prince Francis, Duke of Teck, aimed to provide essential resources and support to the Middlesex Hospital. The event was a remarkable display of unity, generosity, and celebration, leaving a lasting impact on the community and the patients of the Middlesex Hospital.
