Cover of The Sketch Magazine, July 19, 1921: A New Royal Love Story Unfolds The front cover of The Sketch Magazine from July 19, 1921, features two separate photographs of the happy couple-to-be: HRH Princess Mary of Teck and Viscount Lascelles. The announcement of their betrothal had taken the British public by storm, as the princess was set to marry a commoner, albeit one with a distinguished heritage and a considerable fortune. On the left, a captivating image of Princess Mary, the beautiful and beloved younger sister of the future King George VI, gazes at the camera with a radiant smile. Her elegance and poise are on full display in this photograph, which captures the essence of her timeless beauty. On the right, Viscount Lascelles, the dashing and charismatic commoner, is depicted in a charming portrait. His warm and inviting expression conveys the excitement and anticipation of his upcoming nuptials with the princess. Born Henry Charles George Montagu-Douglas-Scott, Viscount Lascelles, he had inherited an impressive fortune and numerous estates from his grand uncle, the Marquess of Clanricarde. The Sketch, a leading society publication of the time, emphasized the love-match nature of this union, highlighting the couple's deep connection and mutual affection. The magazine's headline proclaimed, "A Love Match: The Betrothal of Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles," underscoring the public's fascination with this unconventional royal wedding. The wedding ceremony was set to take place at Harewood House, the magnificent estate of the bride's mother, the Duchess of Teck. The union of Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles would prove to be a significant moment in royal history, as it marked the first time a British princess married a commoner with an established fortune and title. This love story captured the hearts and imaginations of the British people, making it a memorable and cherished moment in the annals of royal history.
