Footnotes

Before her marriage to Prince Michael of Kent in 1978, Baroness Marie-Christine von Reibnitz was an interior designer and author. Prince Michael is the younger son of Prince George, Duke of Kent and Princess Marina.

Continuing his work with the Royal family, Beaton took many pictures of Princess Michael, as seen in the present examples. According to the Royal Collection Trust, Beaton's final royal commission was from the Prince and Princess Michael and took place in their apartment at Kensington Palace two months before his death.
