    absolutely superb…Lady Helen Vincent is stunning. and I want the outfit of the fella in the middle at Tidworth. Marie de Rithschild…it could be today…the bag is so current. nothing new in fashion hey! and is that a dog next to her? what a furball! King Edward looks very regal of course, but also like a kind old gent. I really love these…and I want Marie’s bag!

    Are you sure these weren’t taken by one of his children?
    Maybe Leopold?
