EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, featured on the cover of Tatler magazine in 1947, captures a moment of historic significance as Princess Elizabeth and her future husband, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, attend one of their last public engagements before their wedding. The royal couple are seen gracefully boarding the White Star liner Caronia at John Brown and Co. Clydebank shipyard in Edinburgh, Scotland. The launching of the Caronia, an elegant ocean liner, served as a fitting prelude to the grand wedding celebration that was to take place just a few weeks later. Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, wears a simple yet elegant outfit, consisting of a navy blue coat and hat, while her future husband, who would become Duke of Edinburgh, dons his naval uniform. The couple's radiant smiles and apparent joy convey the excitement and anticipation surrounding their upcoming marriage. The launching of the Caronia was a significant event in its own right, as it marked the return of luxury ocean travel following the end of World War II. The occasion was attended by thousands of people, who gathered to witness the historic moment and catch a glimpse of the future royal couple. This photograph, with its timeless elegance and sense of history, offers a captivating glimpse into the lives of the young royals on the eve of their marriage. The image has been preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online and continues to captivate audiences, serving as a reminder of the enduring allure of royalty and the power of love and tradition.
