EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant and regal presence of Augusta Mary Monica Crichton-Stuart, Marchioness of Bute, DBE, at The National Pageant of Wales held at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff from 26th July to 7th August, 1909. The Marchioness, who was also known as 'Dame Wales,' is seen wearing an exquisite and intricately designed costume for the ceremonial event. The outfit, which embodies the rich history and culture of Wales, features a magnificent crown adorned with a dragon, the national symbol of Wales. Augusta Mary Monica Crichton-Stuart was born on 23rd April, 1880, and was a member of the British aristocracy. Her husband, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, was a prominent figure in Welsh society and held significant political influence. The Marchioness's participation in The National Pageant of Wales was a testament to her dedication to Welsh heritage and her role as a noblewoman. The National Pageant of Wales was a grand celebration of Welsh history and culture, featuring elaborate costumes, music, and performances. The event attracted large crowds and was an important moment in the history of Wales, showcasing its rich heritage and traditions to the world. This photograph is a beautiful and enduring reminder of that historic occasion and the striking figure of Augusta Mary Monica Crichton-Stuart, Dame Wales, who played a significant role in it.
