EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Lady Delamere, née Ruth Mary Clarisse Ashley, proudly displays her Coronation outfit designed by the renowned British fashion designer, Norman Hartnell, for the historic event of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. As a peeress, Lady Delamere was among the select group of women granted the privilege of wearing one of Hartnell's innovative creations for this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. The regal Lady Delamere dons a magnificent robe, emblazoned with intricate gold embroidery and adorned with pearls, reflecting the grandeur and elegance of the coronation ceremony. The robe's design was a groundbreaking departure from traditional robes, as Hartnell sought to modernize the look while maintaining the rich history and tradition of the occasion. Beneath the robe, Lady Delamere wears a stunning white marocain gown, also crafted by Hartnell, which is embellished with a cascade of gold pearls. The gown's sleek, contemporary lines perfectly complement the ornate robe, creating a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity. As a member of the aristocracy and sister of Edwina Ashley, Countess Mountbatten, Lady Delamere was no stranger to high society events and royal occasions. Her presence at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II further solidified her place in British history, making this photograph a captivating testament to the fashion, royalty, and society of the time.
