EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the moment of joy and excitement as Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh (1921-), announce their engagement on July 9th, 1947, at Buckingham Palace in London. The future monarch and her dashing naval officer fiancé sit side by side on a plush sofa, their faces radiant with happiness. Princess Margaret, Elizabeth's younger sister (1930-2002), adds to the festive atmosphere as she smiles approvingly from the armchair next to them. The elegant interior of Buckingham Palace provides a fitting backdrop for this historic occasion. Philip, wearing his naval uniform, looks proud and confident, while Elizabeth, in a smart dress and pearls, exudes grace and poise. This official engagement photograph commemorates the announcement of the couple's upcoming marriage, which would take place on November 20, 1947, and would go on to become one of the most enduring and beloved partnerships in British history.
