EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, pays a delightful visit to St. Mary's Hospital in 1934. Three years prior, she had laid the foundation stone for the new Medical School, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the institution. The Duchess is seen in the heartwarming image engaging in a conversation with a young boy in one of the Nursery wards. Her radiant smile and gentle demeanor radiate warmth and compassion, as she listens intently to the child's words. The Duchess's visit to the hospital was not only an official one but also a personal one, as she took the time to connect with the patients and staff, bringing joy and cheer to their day. The Duchess is dressed elegantly in a simple yet stylish dress, accessorized with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She holds the bouquet in one hand, while the other hand is extended towards the little boy, as if offering him a token of comfort or friendship. In the background, a toy racing car can be seen, adding a playful touch to the scene. This charming photograph captures a moment of connection and compassion, as the Duchess of York brings a touch of sweetness and light to St. Mary's Hospital. It is a poignant reminder of the power of kindness and the importance of caring for those in need.
