The East End Greets The Princess - May, 1946
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph capturing a historic moment in British history. The image, created in 1947, documents the future Queen Elizabeth II's first public appearance in London after the end of the Second World War. The young princess, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is seen extending her hand in a warm handshake to a Londoner, surrounded by a crowd of eager onlookers. The photograph was taken in the East End of London, an area heavily affected by the war and known for its working-class community. The people in the photograph, both men and women, are dressed in their Sunday best, reflecting their excitement and pride at the opportunity to meet their future monarch. The scene is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the British people during a time of great hardship and uncertainty. The photograph 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, an Irish-born journalist and author, was known for his work on royalty and social history. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in the life of Queen Elizabeth II, who would go on to reign for over 60 years. The image is a powerful reminder of the connection between the monarchy and the people, and the role of the royal family in bringing hope and unity to a nation during challenging times. The handshake between the princess and the Londoner is a symbol of the enduring bond between the monarchy and the people of Britain.
