EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Percy, later Duchess of Northumberland, in 1914, during a pivotal moment in her remarkable life. Born as Lady Helen Gordon-Lennox, the daughter of the Duke of Richmond, she would later marry Earl Percy in 1911. When Earl Percy succeeded to the dukedom in 1918, she became the Duchess of Northumberland. At the onset of World War I, Lady Percy was an active participant in the war effort, giving her time and resources to voluntary aid and war work. She served as the President of the Morayshire branch of the Red Cross Society and was a Vice-President of a branch in Kent. Her dedication to this cause extended beyond her local community, as she also authored a book on voluntary aid. In addition to her humanitarian efforts, Lady Percy held a position of great honor in the British monarchy. From 1937 to 1964, she served as Mistress of the Robes to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. In recognition of her service, she was appointed a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order in 1938. This evocative portrait, published in The Sketch in 1914, captures the spirit of a woman whose commitment to her country and community transcended her aristocratic status. As we reflect on the history of the 1st Great War, the story of Lady Percy serves as a reminder of the courage, resilience, and selflessness of those who lived through this pivotal period in history.
