The Royal Family held a Ball to celebrate the joint 21st Birthdays of Prince Edward, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, Lady Helen Windsor, and James Ogilvy at Windsor Castle on this day in 1985, 40 years ago!
Prince Edward, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones (wearing Princess Margaret’s Diamond Rivière) Lady Helen Windsor, and James Ogilvy celebrated their joint 21st Birthdays with a Ball at Windsor Castle.
In addition to the portraits of the four of them, we also have a special group portrait with their mothers: the Queen (wearing the Baring Ruby Necklace), Princess Margaret (in the Teck Diamond Hoop Necklace), the Duchess of Kent (wearing her Pearl Suite), and Princess Alexandra (in her Golden Jubilee Necklace).
Prince Edward, the youngest son of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, daughter of Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon, Lady Helen Windsor, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and James Ogilvy, son of Princess Alexandra of Kent and Sir Angus Ogilvy, were born during the Royal Baby Boom of 1964.
