EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of blissful happiness and relaxation during the honeymoon of The Duke and Duchess of York, who would later become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. Taken in 1923, the image shows the newlyweds enjoying a leisurely game of golf at the picturesque Bowes Lyon Golf Club. King George VI, born Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor, was the second son of King George V and Queen Mary, and he ascended to the throne in 1936 following his brother's abdication. Queen Elizabeth, born Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, was the eldest daughter of the 14th Earl and Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Their marriage on April 26, 1923, was a grand affair held at Westminster Abbey, attended by thousands of well-wishers. The couple's honeymoon was spent in Scotland, where they visited various castles and estates, and this golf outing appears to be a delightful interlude in their busy schedule. The image of the Duke and Duchess of York playing golf on their honeymoon is a charming reminder of their love and happiness during the early years of their marriage. This photograph is a precious piece of royal history, providing a glimpse into the personal lives of the future monarch and his consort.
