Ascot Dramatic Horseracing News Purple Regal Season Sporting Supplement
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and grandeur of King George V and Queen Mary at the Royal Ascot in 1914. The royal couple, dressed in their regal purple attire, gracefully pose on the cover of the Royal Ascot supplement of the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. The image, published in June of that year, showcases the couple's impeccable style and sophistication as they prepare to enjoy the popular summer event. Royal Ascot, one of the most prestigious horseracing events in the world, has a rich history that dates back to 1711. The annual event takes place at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England, and is attended by members of the British royal family and other high-ranking dignitaries. The event's popularity grew significantly during the early 20th century, making it a must-attend social occasion for the elite. King George V and Queen Mary's presence at the Royal Ascot in 1914 was a significant moment in the event's history. The couple's attendance marked their first public appearance together since their wedding in 1893, making this photograph a rare and precious record of their early years as monarch and consort. The regal purple outfits worn by the royal couple were a symbol of their power and authority, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, a prominent British publication, captured this moment in history with this beautiful photograph, which has since become a cherished piece of royal memorabilia. The image not only showcases the elegance and style of the royal couple but also the excitement and glamour of the Royal Ascot event.
