EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken at Buckingham Palace in March 1939, King George VI and his gracious Queen Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mother, are seen with their two young daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. The image captures a moment of warmth and affection as the royal family gathers together for a portrait. King George VI, who ascended to the throne in 1936 following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, is dressed in a formal suit, exuding an air of regal dignity. His wife, Queen Elizabeth, looks radiant in a elegant gown and pearl necklace, her smile reflecting the love and devotion she had for her husband and her role as queen consort. On the left, Princess Elizabeth, the heir to the throne, gazes at her parents with a shy yet confident expression. Her sister, Princess Margaret, on the right, playfully peeks out from behind her mother's arm, her curiosity and mischievousness evident in her bright eyes. This photograph, taken just months before the outbreak of World War II, offers a glimpse into the private lives of the British monarchy and the close bond between the royal family members. The image has become a cherished reminder of a time when the monarchy continued to serve as a source of stability and unity for the people of Britain. The photograph was published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and taken by Mary Evans, providing a testament to the historical significance of this moment in time. The image has been meticulously preserved and remains a captivating piece of royal history.
