EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, George (1902-1942) and Marina (1906-1968), bid farewell to their London residence at 3 Belgrave Square, as they prepare for the historic coronation of the Duke's elder brother, King George VI, on May 12, 1937. The Duke, a distinguished naval officer, is resplendent in his full dress uniform, complete with a decorative sword and medals. His wife, the Duchess, elegantly dressed in a long, flowing gown and a stylish hat, accompanies him, her expression a mix of excitement and apprehension. The coronation of King George VI marked a significant moment in British history, as the monarchy navigated the challenges of the 20th century. The Duke and Duchess of Kent, as members of the royal family, played an essential role in the grand ceremonial proceedings. Their departure from their home, captured in this photograph, symbolizes the transition from private life to public duty. The Duke of Kent, who served in the Royal Navy during World War I, was a decorated war hero and a beloved figure in the royal family. His wife, Marina, a Danish princess, was known for her beauty and grace. Together, they embodied the elegance and tradition of the British monarchy during this pivotal moment in history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and tradition. The image of the Duke and Duchess of Kent leaving for the coronation serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of royal ceremonies and the importance of family and duty.
