EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lady Alice Egerton, a Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), gracefully rides the Duke of Edinburgh's horse, Mystic, during the ladies race at a gymkhana held at the Marsa Club in Malta in 1950. Princess Elizabeth's visit to the island, which took place between February 13 and 16, was her first official tour abroad as a member of the British Royal Family. The image showcases the elegant Lady Alice, wearing a stylish hat and a vibrant floral dress, skillfully maneuvering Mystic through the course. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was known for his love of horses and competitive spirit, lent his horse for the event, allowing Lady Alice to participate in the lively competition. The Marsa Club, located in the heart of Malta's capital city, Valletta, was the perfect venue for this equestrian event, which added to the excitement of the princess's visit. The photograph is part of a colorful feature that captured the essence of this historic moment, as Princess Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, were warmly welcomed by the Maltese people. The visit marked a significant milestone in the young princess's life, as she began her journey towards becoming one of the most revered monarchs in British history. This evocative image not only highlights the grace and poise of Lady Alice Egerton but also underscores the strong bond between the British monarchy and the people of Malta.
