EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment from the enchanting Royal Wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece, which took place at the hallowed Westminster Abbey on 29th November 1934. The image showcases the golden altar and altar screen, which seemed to radiate a warm, ethereal glow against the backdrop of the darkened abbey. The figures of the Royal Family, silhouetted boldly on the right of the sacrarium, add an exquisite contrast to the scene. Prince George, the third son of King George V and Queen Mary, and Princess Marina, a member of the Greek and Danish Royal Families, exchanged their vows in a beautiful and traditional Anglican ceremony. The couple's marriage was a significant event, not only for the British Monarchy but also for the Greek and Danish Royal Families, as it marked the end of a long-standing feud between the two families. The altar, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant floral arrangements, provided a serene and sacred setting for the nuptials. The image, with its striking contrasts and rich details, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era. The Duke and Duchess of Kent's wedding day was a day of celebration, unity, and hope, and this photograph serves as a timeless reminder of the magic and wonder of a Royal Wedding.
