George and Pattie a kind of Camelot

 

 

 
Pattie Boyd and George Harrison’s honeymoon in Barbados in 1966 marked the beginning of one of the most talked-about marriages of the 1960s. Boyd, a successful model and muse, met Harrison while filming A Hard Day's Night (1964), where she played a minor role. Their relationship quickly blossomed, culminating in a wedding on January 21, 1966, at Epsom Register Office.
Barbados, a tropical paradise, was a fitting destination for the couple, reflecting the glamorous and carefree spirit of the 1960s. During their honeymoon, the couple’s stylish and relaxed appearance captured the attention of fans and media, making them symbols of the era's cultural and fashion revolutions. Boyd’s chic outfits and natural beauty, combined with Harrison’s status as a member of The Beatles, made them an iconic pair.
As one of the most famous muses of the 20th century, Pattie Boyd inspired several songs by George Harrison, including the timeless classic Something, widely regarded as one of the greatest love songs of all time. Their marriage also represented the intersection of music, fashion, and celebrity culture, a hallmark of the transformative 1960s.
