EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a crowd of curious and excited villagers of Glamis, Scotland, have gathered outside the local post office, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the first bulletin regarding the birth of Princess Margaret. The anticipation is palpable as they huddle together, bundled up against the chill of the Scottish air, their faces a mix of hopefulness and anxiety. The scene is set on August 21, 1930, when the news of the arrival of the new princess, the younger sister of the future Queen Elizabeth II, had spread like wildfire. The villagers, many of whom were likely to have personal connections to the royal family as tenants or servants of the Glamis Castle, were eager to receive the latest updates on the health and wellbeing of the infant princess. The photograph captures the raw emotion and communal spirit of the moment, as the villagers lean in to read the doctors' notification that has just been delivered to the post office. The handwritten note, penned by the attending physician, reads simply: "The Infant Princess is doing fine." The relief and joy that spreads across the faces of the villagers as they absorb this news is a testament to the deep-rooted connection between the monarchy and the people of Scotland, a bond that has endured through the generations. This poignant snapshot in time offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler era when news traveled on foot and by word of mouth, and the arrival of a new royal baby was cause for celebration in even the most remote corners of the kingdom.
