Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon: A Royal First
Update: 2024-09-30
Description
In a change to the podcast's usual format, host Annie Vischer is joined by historian and author Gareth Russell to discuss one of history's most notable weddings - the marriage of Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon at Westminster Abbey in 1923. The romance of it all reads like a novel, from the pair's first meeting as children to the three - yes, three - proposals that eventually lead to a royal engagement. Find out what makes this wedding such a game changer in the royal wedding arena and how a brush with the Daily Mail almost spells disaster for the big day itself.
