My trophy value exceeded my military usefulness.

- Lord Mountbatten

Louis Mountbatten, Earl Mountbatten of Burma, in full evening dress with decorations. Decorations are worn at certain formal events. They are usually only seen at military daytime occasions, or highly formal and ceremonial evening events.

Historically the most formal variant of full evening dress or "white tie" included knee breeches. They are worn only with evening pumps. Lord Mountbatten here wears, among other decorations, the Order of the Garter, the highest order of British chivalry, displaying not only the sash, but also the garter itself on his left leg, requiring the breeches to make it visible.

Few families can boast of not one but two saints among their ancestors, a great-aunt who was the last tsarina of Russia, a father who was Grace Kelly’s pinup, and a grandmother who was not only a princess but could also argue the finer points of naval law.
