EDITORS COMMENTS
Guests at Balmoral: A Glimpse into Post-War Royal Hospitality, October 1946 This evocative photograph captures a moment of warmth and camaraderie as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by their daughters Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Princess Margaret Rose, pose for a portrait with their esteemed guests, General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower and his wife and son, John and Mamie. The setting is the Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where the royal family had retreated for their annual autumn retreat. The year was 1946, and the world was still recovering from the devastating effects of World War II. The image of the King and Queen, dressed in formal attire, and their daughters, dressed in elegant dresses, stands in stark contrast to the austere times. The presence of the American military leader, who had played a pivotal role in the Allied victory, underscores the close relationship between Britain and the United States during the post-war era. The Duke and Duchess of York, who would later become the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, are conspicuously absent from the photograph. King George VI had abdicated the throne in 1936, and his brother's exile from the country had created a rift within the royal family. The photograph is taken from the book "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive" by Dermot Morrah, published by Odhams Press Limited in London in 1947. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the royal family's private life, offering a glimpse into the world of the monarchy during a pivotal moment in history.
