Lord Ivor Coronation Robes

Worn by Lord Ivor at the coronation of George V in 1911.

Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill (1898 to 1956) was the younger of the two sons of the 9th Duke of Marlborough and his first wife, Consuelo Vanderbilt. As a boy, he wore these robes to the coronation of King George V in 1911. Consuelo rocked both of her sons in the ornate Venetian cradle given to her by her mother, which you can also find among the treasures of Blenheim Palace.
