EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, the future Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, are seen leaving a bookshop in Forfar, Scotland, during a shopping outing with their mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, in August 1935. The young princesses, dressed in matching coats and hats, each carry a parcel from the shop, their faces reflecting the excitement and joy of a day spent browsing and selecting new books. The scene captures a moment of childhood innocence and happiness, as the future monarchs engage in a simple and relatable activity, much like any other children of their age. The photograph offers a glimpse into the early lives of the princesses, who would go on to assume the throne and play significant roles in British history. The bookshop in Forfar was a favorite destination for the royal family during their annual summer visits to Balmoral Castle, their Scottish residence. The photograph not only showcases the close bond between the princesses and their mother but also highlights the importance of literature and education in their upbringing. This image, taken in 1935, is a precious reminder of the early years of Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, offering a glimpse into their childhood and the simple joys they experienced before they assumed their roles as monarchs. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the enduring connection between the royal family and the people of Scotland.
