EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on the 21st of April, 1942, captures a special moment in the lives of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, as they celebrate the sixteenth birthday of their eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth. The future Queen Elizabeth II is seen proudly inspecting her father's regiment, the Grenadier Guards, during a birthday parade. The Duke and Duchess of York, later known as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, stand by their daughter's side, beaming with pride. Princess Margaret Rose, Elizabeth's younger sister, is also present, dressed in a charming dress and looking on with admiration. As Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, King George VI took great pride in his military duties, and this birthday parade was a unique way to celebrate his daughter's coming of age. The crowd can be seen cheering and waving in the background, adding to the festive atmosphere. The image is a poignant reminder of a simpler time, as the world was in the midst of the Second World War. This photograph is 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 1947. The image is a testament to the enduring fashion of the 1940s, with the royal family dressed in elegant apparel, and the Duke of York wearing his military uniform.
