EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are captured in their childhood innocence at a Fancy Dress Dance hosted by Viscountess Astor in her elegant residence in St. James Square, London, in 1934. The future Queen Elizabeth II, then aged eight, dazzles in a shimmering Tudor gown, her golden hair cascading down her shoulders. She gracefully holds the hand of her younger sister, Princess Margaret, who is dressed as a whimsical fairy, her wings and wand adding a touch of magic to the scene. The sisters' costumes reflect the playful and carefree spirit of their youth, a stark contrast to the regal roles they would later assume as monarch and princess consort, respectively. The siblings' close bond is palpable in this heartwarming image, as they share a moment of joy and laughter with their fellow guests. The opulent surroundings of Viscountess Astor's house further enhance the fairytale atmosphere, transporting us back in time to a bygone era of elegance and enchantment.
