Bowes Informal Lyon 1923 Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This informal portrait captures a moment of intimacy between King George VI and his beloved wife, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, taken in 1923, long before Elizabeth's accession as Queen Consort in 1936 following the abdication of King Edward VIII. The image offers a glimpse into the private world of the future monarchs, showcasing their relaxed and affectionate relationship. Elizabeth, dressed in a simple, elegant dress with a floral pattern, sits comfortably on a plush chair, her hands delicately folded in her lap. Her expressive face is illuminated by the soft light filtering in from the window, her eyes sparkling with warmth and intelligence. George VI, wearing a casual suit and tie, stands beside her, his hand resting gently on her shoulder. His gaze is fixed on his wife, his face reflecting deep affection and devotion. The background of the photograph is adorned with lush greenery, adding to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The informal setting and candid poses of the couple convey a sense of genuine connection and happiness, making this image a treasured snapshot of their life together before the weight of the crown was placed upon Elizabeth's head. As the daughter of the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was a member of one of Scotland's most prominent noble families. Her marriage to the Duke of York, later King George VI, in 1923, united the House of Windsor and the House of Bowes-Lyon, creating a strong and loving partnership that would prove invaluable during the challenges of the Second World War and beyond. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their deep bond and the personal side of one of history's most famous royal couples.
