EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, makes a bold fashion statement during an inspection of the Grenadier Guards in the summer of 1947. The young princess, dressed in a chic polka dot jacket and matching hat, exudes confidence and elegance. The hat, a stylish creation of the 1940s millinery scene, adds an air of sophistication and glamour to her outfit. The hat's design, featuring a tall crown, a wide brim, and a veil that cascades down the back, is reminiscent of the elegant hats popular during the post-war era. The image captures a moment of transition for the princess, who was only 21 years old at the time. She had recently married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in November 1947, and was beginning to assume her role as a future monarch. The inspection of the Grenadier Guards was an important public appearance, and the princess chose to make a fashionable statement, setting the tone for her future royal wardrobe. The photograph is a testament to the enduring influence of fashion on royalty, and the role of hats as a symbol of status and style. The image also offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 1940s, a time when women's hats were an essential accessory for any occasion. The photograph's timeless quality and the princess's confident demeanor make it a beloved portrait of a young and future queen.
