LORD GALWAY'S HEIR. Married to Maid of Honour to Queen Alexandra.
Graced by the presence of Queen Alexandra, the Princess Royal and Princess Maud, the marriage of Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. George Monckton-Arundell, D.S.O., 1st Life Guards, only son of Viscount Galway, of Serlby Hall, Bawtry, and 48, Portland Place, W., to the Hon. Lucia White, youngest daughter of Lord Annaly, 43, Berkeley Square, at St. Mark's, North Audley Street, this morning, was one of the most brilliant weddings of the season. Queen Alexandra, who wore a blue sequined coatee over a draped black gown and a small black toque finished with a white plume, was attended by the Dowager Countess of Antrim and Colonel Sir Henry Streatfeild, while the Hon. Charlotte Knollys and Colonel Sir Dighton Probyn also came .from her Majesty's Household, as they are much attached to the bride, who has been Maid of Honour to Queen Alexandra for some years.
The Princess Royal, wearing deep orchid mauve charmeuse and a grey feathered hat, brought Princess Maud, in a charming powder blue georgette frock, and was unattended.
A large crowd assembled outside the church to await the arrival of the Royal guests and the bride. A party of stalwart Life Guardsmen, composed of Warrant officers, N.C.O.'s and troopers of the bridegroom's regiment, lined the aisle of the church and also presented the bride with a bouquet of Madonna lillies. Accompanying them were the Regimental trumpeters, in golden tabards and scarlet breeches. When Miss White arrived at the church, accompanied by her uncle, Colonel the Hon. Charles White, who gave her away, they blew a fanfare of welcome.
The bridal gown was a lovely creation of palest ivory satin, draped over the hips and caught with pearl medallions, and the long train of pre-war Court length was of magnificent old family Brussels lace, mounted on ruched chiffon.
Miss White's tulle veil was a very full one and fell from a triple coronet of orange-blossom, and she wore a string of pearls.
Miss White's attendants, all children, were five in number, and included Lady Mary Crewe- Milnes, daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Crewe; the Hon. Sylvia Coke, daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Coke, cousin of the bride; Miss Lilah Labouchere, cousin of the bridegroom; and the Misses Margaret and Peggy Vesey, daughters of the Hon. Thomas and Lady Cicely Vesey. They wore very attractive and simple short frocks of primrose georgette with narrow waist-bands of delphinium blue velvet, their hats of gathered georgette to match the dresses having ribbons of the same blue as the only trimming. Each little girl carried a bouquet of blue delphiniums tied with wide blue ribbon, and wore the bridegroom's gift of lapis lazuli and crystal necklaces.
The bridegroom's best man was Colonel S. Ashton, and the marriage service was conducted by the Rev. Pennyman, Rector of St. Mark's, North Audley Street, and the Rev. F. C. Timmins, C.F., of Westonbirt.
Royal Wedding Gifts. Both bridegroom and bride received a large number of wedding gifts. The King and Queen sent the bride a gold vanity case, and Queen Alexandra a lovely emerald and pearl chain. From Princess Victoria she received a diamond ruby and opal brooch, whilst silver cases came from the Princess Royal and Princess Maud. Viscount Galway gave his future daughter-in law a magnificent diamond and ruby necklace, and from her parents came a diamond tiara, which can be worn as a bandeau.
The bridegroom's gifts were a diamond and pearl ring, and his regimental badge in diamonds as a brooch. The bridegroom's sister and her husband chose silver sauce boats and a collection of valuable old prints, the Hon. Mrs. Skeffington Smyth also giving the bride a special present of a diamond wrist-watch. The bride's brother. Major the Hon. Luke White, chose a Georgian silver tea set, and there are a number of presentation gifts to be received when the bridegroom and his wife return from their honeymoon."
Viscountess Lucia wore some of the Galway family jewels, which were earlier worn by her mother-in-law such as the diamond choker. A similar diamond necklace and choker
was in the possession of Vivien Leigh. Such a fine necklace was offered at the Basel Fair in 2017.
The only son and heir, the Hon. Simon Monckton-Arundell, was born in 1929, followed by the Hon. Celia, the Hon. Simon, the Hon. Isabel and the Hon. Mary Monckton-Arundell.
