EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, is seen playing with her younger siblings, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, in the comfort of their home, while their beloved nanny, Helen Lightbody, looks on with a warm smile. The image captures a tender moment from the children's early childhood, as Anne, dressed in a pretty floral dress and a headscarf, cradles baby Andrew in her arms, while Edward, wearing a sweater and shorts, sits contentedly on the floor, playing with a toy. Helen Lightbody, who was the royal children's nanny from 1950 to 1953, played a significant role in their upbringing during their formative years. She was known for her kind and nurturing nature, and her ability to provide a stable and loving environment for the young royals. This photograph, taken in January 1951, captures the special bond between the nanny and her charges, as they engage in a playful moment of affection and connection. The image also serves as a reminder of a simpler time in royal history, when the public was afforded a glimpse into the private lives of the royal family, and the children were able to enjoy their childhood in a more carefree and unguarded manner. The smiles on their faces and the relaxed atmosphere of the scene convey a sense of happiness and contentment, making this photograph a cherished reminder of the early years of Princess Anne and her siblings.
