EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the inner front cover of the Illustrated London News Royal Wedding Number, commemorating the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, which took place on November 27, 1934. The cover features a striking profile study of Princess Marina, beautifully rendered by renowned portrait artist Sir Philip de László. Born in Athens in 1906, Princess Marina was the eldest daughter of Prince and Princess of Greece and Denmark. Her elegant and refined beauty captured the hearts of many, making her an ideal subject for de László's artistic talents. The Hungarian-born painter was renowned for his masterful portraits of royalty and high society, and his depiction of Princess Marina in profile showcases his exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subject. The Illustrated London News, a prestigious British weekly magazine, dedicated an entire issue to the royal wedding, providing extensive coverage of the grand event. The issue featured numerous photographs and illustrations, including this exquisite portrait of the bride-to-be. The cover design, with its elegant typography and intricate detailing, further enhances the regal atmosphere of the publication. Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina's marriage was a significant event in the social and political calendar of the time. The wedding took place at Westminster Abbey in the presence of King George V and Queen Mary, and was attended by numerous European royals and dignitaries. The couple's union marked the beginning of a long and happy marriage, which produced three children: Prince Edward, Prince Michael, and Princess Alexandra. This evocative image of Princess Marina, captured in profile by Sir Philip de László, serves as a timeless reminder of the grandeur and elegance of the 1934 royal wedding and the enduring allure of the monarchy.
