EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Heartwarming Reunion of the Royal Family, 22 June 1939 This evocative photograph captures a tender moment in history as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by their daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, step off the "Empress of Britain" upon their return from their successful tour of the United States and Canada. The joyous occasion was marked by a heartfelt welcome from the crew, who presented the young princesses with cuddly toy pandas as gifts. The King, whose given name was Albert Frederick Arthur George, Duke of York, and later King George VI, is seen wearing a formal suit and bowler hat, while the Queen, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, wears a stylish dress and hat. Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, and Princess Margaret Rose, dressed in matching outfits, eagerly cling to their father and mother, their faces filled with delight and excitement. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between a family and the warmth and love that comes with a homecoming. The 1930s and 1940s were a significant period in the lives of the royal family, marked by transitions, challenges, and triumphs. This photograph, taken in 1939, offers a glimpse into a moment of happiness and togetherness amidst the complexities of their lives. The 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 London in 1947. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of family, fashion, and the simple joys of childhood.
