EDITORS COMMENTS
A Royal Send-Off: The Newlywed Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh Depart for Their Honeymoon This photograph from The Sphere captures the moment when Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, set off from Buckingham Palace in a elegant landau carriage for Waterloo Station on their honeymoon journey. The newlyweds, who had tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony on November 20, 1947, were waved off by their best man, the Marquess of Milford Haven, and four of their bridesmaids: Diana Bowes Lyon, Margaret Elphinstone, Pamela Mountbatten, and Lady Mary Cambridge. The scene is filled with joy and excitement as the bridesmaids, dressed in their elegant gowns, bid farewell to the newlywed couple. The best man, David, Marquess of Milford Haven, stands proudly beside the carriage, a smile on his face as he watches the couple depart. In the background, a Corgi dog, a beloved pet of the royal family, can be seen following the carriage. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's honeymoon was a much-anticipated event, and their departure from Buckingham Palace was met with great fanfare. The couple would go on to spend their honeymoon in Malta, where they would enjoy a private and secluded getaway before returning to their duties as future monarch and consort. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the joy and excitement surrounding the wedding of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and the start of their lifelong partnership and reign.
