EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, is seen reeling in a large fish during her visit to the picturesque Bay of Islands in New Zealand, in 1927. The Duchess, who was the wife of the future King George VI at the time, was on an official tour of the South Pacific with her husband and their young daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. During the royal visit, the family was warmly welcomed by the people of New Zealand, who were thrilled to host the British royals. One of the many activities that the Duchess participated in was fishing, which proved to be a great success. In this image, she is seen expertly handling her fishing rod and reeling in a substantial catch, with a beaming smile on her face. The Duchess's fishing prowess was much admired during the trip, as she managed to catch an impressive twenty fish in just half an hour. The Bay of Islands, with its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life, provided the perfect setting for this memorable moment. The Duchess's fishing trip was a highlight of the royal tour, and it is a testament to her adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors. This photograph captures a moment of joy and relaxation for the Duchess during her visit to New Zealand, and it is a reminder of the close relationship that the British monarchy has had with the people of New Zealand over the years. The image is a beautiful representation of the natural beauty of New Zealand and the excitement of a successful fishing trip, making it a cherished piece of royal history.
