Arriving at Glamis with Her New Sister - August, 1931
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph depicting a significant moment in the lives of two future monarchs of the United Kingdom. The image captures a young Princess Elizabeth II, aged 2, and her baby sister, Princess Margaret Rose, as they step off a train at Glamis Castle Railway Station in Scotland. The sisters' arrival at Glamis Castle marked the first time they would meet in person, having been born just 13 months apart. The photograph shows Elizabeth, dressed in a white dress and holding her sister's hand, while a lady-in-waiting assists Margaret, who is carried by a porter. The sisters' father, the Duke of York (later King George VI), and their mother, Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother), are also present, with the Duke helping his elder daughter down the steps of the train. The photograph was taken in August 1931, and was published in the book "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive" by Dermot Morrah in 1947. Morrah was a renowned British journalist and author, who wrote extensively about the royal family. The image provides a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the young princesses and their family, offering a glimpse into the fashion of the 1930s and the role of railway staff in transporting the royal family. The photograph is a testament to the close bond between the sisters, who would go on to become Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, respectively. The image is a poignant reminder of the sisters' childhood and the beginning of Elizabeth's journey to becoming the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
