THE ROYAL SPANISH WEDDING
The Queen's Coronation Passing From the Chapel to the Palace
1
The Queen's Coronation Passing From the Chapel to the Palace
This charming series is one which stands alone-an isolation of which we are justly proud. From some unexplained cause, no reporters or artists were present on this historic occasion ; thereforefore no record, verbal or pictorial, with this exception, remains, of one of the most historic and interestingly beautiful processions of the whole series of Wedding Festivities. The concessions we received enabled our staff to enter the precincts of the Palace, and take up positions most favourable to our purpose, and the result is here depicted of the Procession of the King and Queen as they passed from the Chapel where the ceremony of the Queen's Coronation was performed to their own apartments.
No horses or trappings here, no glittering military escort with prancing and champing steeds, but a grand aggregation of all the Princes and Princesses of Spanish Blood Royal, and of the Royal Guests from other countries, recognisable from their excellent photographs, results. Spanish Grandees, Ambassadors and other dignitaries of Church and State follow, all afoot, many bareheaded, laughing and taking gaily en route. The Infanta lsabel is again seen, a kind, motherly lady with silvery hair ; she is no longer weeping, however, but smiling graciously as she passes.
The grand finale is reached when the newly-crowned Queen, with her Kingly partner, pause directly in front of the camera. For a second the King, with rare consideration, is seen to leave her side, and the audience is honoured by a gracious bow, not directed at the cheering multitude of the street without, but at the camera-a gracious and graceful recognition, purposely accorded, of the affection and enthusiasm of her own people- a Royal thought, Royally acted upon.
