EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment between King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth, in the year of their coronation, 1937. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd, beautifully encapsulates the essence of the monarchs' strong bond and devotion to each other. King George VI, who ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, is seen placing a protective hand on the shoulder of his queen, Queen Elizabeth, as they pose for the camera. The future queen mother, dressed in an elegant gown and adorned with the crown and various orders, gazes up at her husband with a look of love and admiration. Their union was a source of strength and stability during a time of great change for the British monarchy and the nation. Queen Elizabeth, who was initially reluctant to take on the role of queen consort, proved to be a devoted and supportive partner to her husband. Together, they faced numerous challenges, including the outbreak of World War II and the loss of their eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, to the Crown. This photograph, taken in the early years of their reign, offers a glimpse into the personal side of the royal couple, showcasing their deep connection and the love that sustained them throughout their lives. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty and the enduring power of a strong marriage.
