Royal Visit to France - King & Queen at Bagatelle
King George VI and Queen Elizabeth attending a garden party alongside President Lebrun and Mme. Lebrun at the Bagatelle, held in their honour during their visit to Paris in 1938. The royal visit was considered a huge success and the Queen's wardrobe, designed by Norman Hartnell, all in white due to the Queen being in mourning for her mother, was widely praised. Around 4000 guests attended the garden party. Seen behind the Queen is Her Majesty's Mistress of the Robes, the Duchess of Northumberland
