Cairo Countess Curtsey Etiquette Families Guards Harewood Meets Members Regiment Royals Scots Serving Stationed
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Princess Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood, makes a memorable visit to Cairo, Egypt, in the 1930s. The Princess, dressed in an elegant outfit befitting her royal status, is seen greeting the families of serving members of the Royal Scots Guards regiment, who were stationed in Egypt at that time. The scene exudes an air of historical significance, as the Princess, a beloved member of the British royal family, connects with the families of the brave soldiers who were far from home, serving their country in North Africa. The Egyptian backdrop, with its unique blend of African and Middle Eastern influences, adds an intriguing layer to the image. Princess Mary, who was the daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, was known for her dedication to public service and her commitment to the welfare of the military community. Her visit to Cairo was a testament to her unwavering support for the troops and their families. The image captures a moment of etiquette and grace, as the Princess bows in a courteous curtsey to greet each family member, while they reciprocate with respectful deference. The soldiers, proudly wearing their uniforms, stand at attention in the background, adding to the formal atmosphere of the occasion. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the historical relationship between Britain and Egypt during the 1930s, as well as the role of the royal family in supporting the military community. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families, and the enduring bond between the British monarchy and its people.
