Caption reads:
The Duke of Norfolk’s fiancee, pretty Lavinia Mary Strutt, is currently England’s favorite bride-to-be, in contrast to twice-divorced Mrs. Simpson. “Ideal” Lavinia is a tennis player, a jockey with a Mickey Mouse embroidered on her sweater. Her father, Lord Belper is only four generations away from the Jedediah Strutt of Derby who made his fortune with some improvements in the spinning industry’s stocking frame. Lavinia’s mother is divorced from her father.
(In 1953, Lavinia would play the part of Queen Elizabeth II during dress rehearsals for the Coronation at Westminster Abbey.)
