EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the 1930s, a young and vibrant Princess Elizabeth, aged 13, gracefully emerges from the clear blue waters of the Bath Club swimming pool, triumphantly raising her arms above her head as she wins the over-nines challenge shield in a swimming race. The future Queen Elizabeth II, born in 1926, is seen wearing a stylish swimming costume with a white collar and red ribbon, her hair neatly tied back in a bun. Her sister, Princess Margaret, aged 9, also a talented swimmer, won the under-nines cup that same day, making it a memorable day for the Windsor family at the Bath Club. The image captures the carefree spirit of childhood and the determination of these young princesses, showcasing their athletic abilities and love for the sport. The photograph, taken in 1939, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Windsor family during a simpler time, providing a charming and nostalgic look into the past.
