EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Royal Rehearsal: The Wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece at Westminster Abbey, 1934 2.. This collection of photographs offers a glimpse into the rehearsal day for one of the most anticipated weddings of the 1930s: the union of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece at Westminster Abbey on November 29, 1934. The images depict the royal family and bridal party in preparation for the grand ceremony, as well as the immense crowds that gathered to catch a glimpse of the future bride and groom. King George V and Queen Mary are seen arriving at Westminster Abbey in a horse-drawn carriage, their regal presence a testament to the solemnity and importance of the occasion. Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, can be seen leaving the rehearsal, her youthful elegance a stark contrast to the formal attire of the older members of the royal family. Two of the royal bridesmaids, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands (later Queen) and Grand Duchess Kira of Russia, are captured in playful moments, adding a touch of levity to the proceedings. The photographs also show the meticulous planning and organization required to ensure the smooth running of such a high-profile event, with mounted police controlling the crowds and directing traffic. As the Duke and Duchess of Kent exchanged their vows just a few days later, these images offer a unique insight into the rehearsal day, providing a fascinating glimpse into the pomp and pageantry of a royal wedding in the 1930s.
