EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting black-and-white photograph, the young Princess Elizabeth of Edinburgh, later to become Queen Elizabeth II, exudes radiant joy as she stands hand in hand with her new husband, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh, following their wedding ceremony at the hallowed Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. The historic event marked the union of two royal houses - the House of Windsor and the House of Mountbatten - and signaled the beginning of a lifelong partnership and reign that would span over seven decades. The Princess, dressed in an elegant white satin gown designed by Norman Hartnell, features a 13-foot (4-meter) long train, adorned with pearls and crystals, and a stunning diamond and emerald tiara, known as the Strathmore Rose Tiara. The Duke, resplendent in his naval uniform, is seen wearing the Order of the Garter Star and Sash, reflecting his position as a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. The wedding ceremony, attended by hundreds of guests, including heads of state and dignitaries from around the world, took place in the presence of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The newlyweds later made their first appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where they were greeted by the cheers and well-wishes of thousands of people who had gathered to celebrate their union. This evocative image, captured by renowned British photojournalist Mary Evans / Photo Union Collection, offers a glimpse into the magical moment that marked the start of a remarkable royal marriage and the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy.
