**A Royal Affair: The Opening of "Festival of Empire"**
May 12th, 1911 - London's Crystal Palace was abuzz with royalty and nobility as King George V, Queen Mary, Earl Plymouth, and Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII) gathered to officially open the prestigious "Festival of Empire". This historic moment is captured in a stunning black-and-white photograph by Bain News Service.
The image shows the esteemed guests standing together outside the iconic Crystal Palace building. The monarchs are resplendent in their finest attire, with Queen Mary's elegant hat and King George V's dignified demeanor commanding attention. Earl Plymouth stands tall beside them, while Prince Edward - then just 15 years old - looks every inch a future king.
The "Festival of Empire" was an exhibition celebrating British culture and achievements around the world. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the grandeur and pageantry that once characterized London's social scene. With its rich historical context, this image is sure to captivate anyone interested in royalty, nobility, or simply a glimpse into Britain's storied past.
