Jackie Kennedy, born Jacqueline Bouvier, spent the summer of 1953 in London for Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
The young journalist and future first lady networked her way into the season's biggest parties, attended by Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart.
She didn't meet Elizabeth until June 1961, at which time she was allegedly "disappointed" by Buckingham Palace and criticized the queen's hairstyle.
Years before she was first lady, Jackie Kennedy went to London for Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
Then going by Jacqueline Bouvier—having not yet received a proposal from future husband John F. Kennedy—Jackie was an intrepid photographer-reporter for The Washington Times-Herald. She arrived in Europe with friend Aileen Bowdoin in May 1953, ready to chase down stories and send back glittering reports of society parties.
