EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the radiant beauty and elegance of Miss Katharine Worsley, the future Duchess of Kent, on the eve of her marriage to the Duke of Kent at York Minster on 8 June 1961. The portrait was skillfully created from life by Stephen Ward, a renowned osteopath and artist, at Kensington Palace. At the time, Ward was a respected figure in London society and a frequent contributor to the Illustrated London News, where he sketched several high-profile personalities. The image showcases Katharine's timeless grace and poise, her captivating gaze, and the delicate intricacies of her bridal attire. The portrait serves as a poignant reminder of a moment of great joy and anticipation in the young woman's life, before she became the Duchess of Kent. Two years after this portrait was taken, Stephen Ward would find himself at the center of a major scandal. His involvement in the Profumo Affair, a political sex scandal that rocked the British establishment, would forever change his reputation and cast a shadow over this beautiful moment in royal history. Today, this portrait stands as a testament to the allure and intrigue of the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of royalty and society.
