EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Duchess of York, later known as the Queen Mother (1900-2002), is seen leaving her parents' residence at 17 Bruton Street in London, accompanied by a nursemaid, as they make their way to the Christening service of Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), who is held in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace on May 29, 1926. The Duchess, dressed in a stylish hat and coat, looks radiant and serene as she carries her precious newborn daughter, who is swaddled in a white shawl and appears fast asleep in her mother's arms. The nursemaid, attentively following behind, holds the Duchess's train and supports the family's maidservant, who is carrying a large parasol to shield the royal party from the sun. The Earl and Countess of Strathmore's home at 17 Bruton Street was a familiar and comforting place for the Duchess, who grew up there with her siblings. The Christening of Princess Elizabeth was a significant moment in the history of the British monarchy, and the image of the Duchess leaving her parents' house with her newborn daughter captures the essence of the joy and anticipation that surrounded this royal occasion. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the close bond between a mother and her child, as well as the enduring tradition and pageantry of the British monarchy.
