EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and vibrant Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, during her tenure as the President of the Girl Guide organization in the late 1930s. In the image, the future monarch, then aged around 13, is seen proudly wearing the Girl Guide uniform, complete with the distinctive brown skirt, blouse, and scarf. Her youthful expression radiates confidence and determination, reflecting the spirit of the organization she led. The photograph was taken in 1939, a significant year in history as it marked the beginning of World War II. Despite the looming threat of war, Princess Elizabeth continued her role as the President of the Girl Guides, demonstrating her commitment to the organization and its values. The Girl Guides, which was founded in 1910, aimed to provide girls and young women with opportunities for education, physical and mental development, and character building. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the Princess's early years, before she ascended to the throne in 1952, and her dedication to the causes she believed in. It also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion and social norms of the 1930s, a time when the world was on the brink of momentous change. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection that celebrates the history of the British monarchy, the Girl Guides, and the spirit of youth and resilience.
