EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover image from The Sketch magazine dates back to 1923, showcasing the newlywed Duke and Duchess of York, who would later become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, as they departed on their honeymoon. The royal couple, Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, exuded elegance and joy as they waved to the crowds at Bookham Station in Surrey, England. Their wedding on 26 April 1923, held at Westminster Abbey, was a grand affair that brought the British people together in celebration. For their honeymoon, they chose the picturesque Polesden Lacey country estate, a serene retreat where they could enjoy their newfound marital bliss away from the public eye. The Duchess, wearing a beautiful ensemble of dove grey crepe embroidered romain, accessorized with a small brown hat, ensured that her face was visible to the adoring crowds. Her timeless fashion choice set the trend for future royal brides, as she opted for a dress that allowed her to connect with her subjects while maintaining her regal grace. This evocative photograph is a testament to the enduring love story of the Duke and Duchess of York and their fairytale beginning as a married couple. The image, taken at Bookham Station, captures the essence of their happiness and the excitement of their journey as they embarked on their new life together.
