EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, beams with joy as she is driven through the streets of London in the Glass Coach on her way to Westminster Abbey for her wedding to Anthony Armstrong-Jones on May 6, 1960. The Glass Coach, a traditional vehicle used for royal processions, is pulled by six white horses, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess's brother-in-law, accompanies her in the carriage. The newlyweds-to-be wave to the cheering crowds lining the route, who have come out in droves to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. The scene is set against a backdrop of light snowfall, making for a magical and romantic atmosphere. Anthony Armstrong-Jones, who would later become the Earl of Snowdon, was a renowned photographer and the first commoner to marry a member of the British royal family in the 20th century. The wedding was a significant event in British history, and the Glass Coach procession was a highlight of the day. The image captures the excitement and joy of the occasion, as the Princess and her new husband embark on their new life together. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era and the enduring allure of royal weddings.
