Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach 4:45 p.m., May 26, 2022

On July 17, 1958, Buckingham Palace hosted the very last debutante ball organized by the royal family.

But that day, Queen Elizabeth II being ill, it was in front of the Queen Mother and Prince Philipp that Sandra Seagram, the last of the debutantes, made her finest reference.

This annual tradition marks the entrance of well-born young women into the world.

During the fashionable season which follows this introduction to the court, it is for them to meet a good match to conclude a marriage.

Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach teaches you the art of reference and looks back on this ritual that appeared during the reign of King George III (1760-1801).
