EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Hon. Diamond Evelyn Violet Hardinge (1900-1927) is captured as a radiant and poised bridesmaid at the wedding of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and the Duke of York, later King George VI, on 26 April 1923 at Westminster Abbey. Diamond, the eldest daughter of Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst, was one of eight bridesmaids in the grand ceremony. At the time of the wedding, Diamond was engaged to be married to Captain Robert Abercromby of the Scots Guards. Born in 1900, Diamond lost her mother at a young age and later acted as hostess at the British Embassy in Paris during her father's term of office there. Known for her charm and grace, Diamond was a popular figure in aristocratic society. The Sketch magazine described her as a "very charming girl." The photograph captures the essence of the grandeur and elegance of the royal wedding, with Diamond standing proudly in her bridesmaid attire, holding a bouquet of flowers. The image offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the aristocratic world of the 1920s, and the role that Diamond played in this important moment in British history. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the important role that the aristocracy played in shaping the social fabric of the time. It is a beautiful and timeless image that captures the essence of a bygone era, and a reminder of the important role that Diamond played in the lives of the royal family and the British people.
