In this enchanting photograph, a group of children eagerly curtsey as the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, gracefully arrives to open the new Hospital at Welwyn in Hertfordshire on the 24th of July, 1934. The Duchess, dressed in an elegant outfit of moonlight and turquoise blue, exudes an air of regal charm and grace as she greets her young admirers with a warm smile. The children, dressed in their best white attire, display impeccable wit and etiquette as they pay their respects to the future queen and mother. The formal setting of the hospital entrance adds to the sense of occasion, capturing a sweet and charming moment in time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s and the elegant formalities of the British royalty. The Duchess of York's arrival at the hospital marks a significant moment in history, as she goes on to become one of the most beloved and respected members of the royal family. This lovely image is a testament to the enduring allure of royalty and the timeless tradition of a curtsey.
