They look like they have seen it all, they dressed the part, had fun shopping for the pillboxes
and after the christening they want a sherry.
The Countess of Athlone had some fab hats in her long life. I love that she took the bus around London to go shopping later in her later years; I just wish I could find the photo I saw of her once waiting at the bus stop (it probably was in some random book).
Of course Marina looks chic as always.
I know the photo you mean. It was in Majesty magazine a few years ago. Was incongruous in the surroundings.
