EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Bridesmaid's Honor: Margaret Elphinstone at the Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten, 1947" 2.. This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a young and radiant Margaret Elphinstone, the Hon. Margaret Elphinstone (b. 1925), as she proudly serves as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten on November 20, 1947. The wedding took place at Westminster Abbey in London, marking the beginning of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Margaret, the daughter of the 16th Baron Elphinstone, was one of the twelve bridesmaids chosen for the historic occasion. She is elegantly dressed in a white satin gown with a matching hat, adorned with flowers and a veil, reflecting the traditional bridesmaid attire of the time. The photograph was taken at the residence of the Countess of Cavan, where the bridesmaids gathered before the wedding ceremony. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the day, as well as the close bond between the young bridesmaids, who would go on to witness the beginning of a new era in British history. Margaret Elphinstone's connection to the royal family extends beyond her role as a bridesmaid. She is the granddaughter of the 15th Baron Elphinstone, who served as Viceroy of India from 1884 to 1888. The Elphinstone family has a rich history, with notable figures including the 1st Viscount Elphinstone, who served as Governor-General of India from 1854 to 1859. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the young bridesmaids who were part of the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten in 1947. It is a reminder of the enduring connection between the Elphinstone family and the British monarchy.
