EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a rare and intimate moment of British royalty during the tumultuous times of World War II. The front cover of The Sketch magazine from 1941 features King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, and one of their beloved pet Corgis.
King George VI, known for his stammer and portrayed in the film "The King's Speech," is seen here with his wife and consort, Queen Elizabeth - who would later become known as the Queen Mother after her husband's death. The couple exudes warmth and affection as they pose with their furry companion, showcasing a glimpse into their private life at home.
During this period, when Britain was facing the challenges of war on all fronts, this image serves as a reminder that even amidst great adversity, moments of joy and companionship can still be found. The presence of their loyal Corgi further humanizes these regal figures, showing them not only as monarchs but also as loving pet owners.
This photograph is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, capturing a snapshot in time that reflects both the personal lives of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth as well as the resilience of the British people during wartime.
