When our ancestor Joshua Windsor dropped a letter from his noble name, he surely didn’t mean to D-vorce himself from his noble origins, did he? We like being Winsors, especially when it comes to celebrating a Royal Wedding.
Great Aunt Mercy liked to flaunt “our” Royal connections, and painted this gilt and colored version of the Royal crest as the cover page of a book for her niece’s high school graduation in 1926. Of course, another Royal event was being celebrated that month, the birth on April 21st of Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, known today as Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
