Birthday Ride - 21st April, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that depicts a special moment in the lives of King George VI and his two daughters, Princess Margaret Rose and Princess Elizabeth. The image, taken on the 21st of April, 1939, captures the essence of a loving father-daughter relationship as King George VI, then Duke of York, rides a horse with his daughters in celebration of Princess Elizabeth's 13th birthday. The photograph, 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, shows the future King George VI, King of Great Britain, and his eldest daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth II, sitting side by side on ponies, with Princess Margaret Rose riding behind him. The image exudes a sense of joy and happiness, as the family enjoys a simple pleasure together. King George VI, born Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and later known as Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor, was the second son of King George V and Queen Mary. He became King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth in 1936 following the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII. His eldest daughter, Elizabeth, was born on April 21, 1926, and became Queen of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth in 1952, following her father's death. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the close bond between a father and his daughters, and the simple joys of family life, even during the challenging times of the 1940s. The image is a testament to the enduring power of family, and the love and affection that can be shared between parents and children, no matter the circumstances.
