EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover, titled "The Wedding of the Royal Princess," commemorates the historic union of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, respectively. The image, dated 1947, reflects the grandeur and elegance of the royal wedding that took place on November 20, 1947, at Westminster Abbey in London. The cover art features an illustration of the newlywed couple, both dressed in their wedding attire. Princess Elizabeth, wearing an elegant white gown and the Queen Mary Fringe Tiara, gazes lovingly at her husband, who dons his naval uniform as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. The Duke of Edinburgh, who would later be known as the Duke of Edinburgh and Earl of Merioneth, wears the uniform of the Royal Navy, complete with his naval cap and a shilling in his hand, symbolizing the traditional bride's price. The wedding was a significant event in British history, taking place in the aftermath of World War II and marking the beginning of a new era for the monarchy. The image of the couple on the cover of this sheet music, with its intricate detail and evocative design, captures the spirit of the occasion and the hope and optimism it represented for the people of Britain and the world. The music for this cover was composed by Tommie Connor and Everett Lynton, two talented musicians of the 1940s. The lyrics and melody of the song are not indicated on the cover, leaving the listener to imagine the music that would accompany this beautiful image of the royal couple on their wedding day.
