EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph taken in 1936, young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret can be seen enjoying a sunny day in the garden of their family home, 145 Piccadilly in London. The sisters, both dressed in casual summer outfits, are surrounded by their beloved pets, a Labrador named Jane and two Corgis, Dookie and another unnamed one. The sisters' joyous expressions and playful interaction with their dogs reflect the carefree childhood they shared before Elizabeth's accession to the throne in 1952. Princess Elizabeth, who was born on April 21, 1926, is seated on the grass with her arms around Dookie, while Princess Margaret, born August 21, 1930, stands beside her with Jane. The Labrador, Jane, is lying down at their feet, while the two Corgis, Dookie and the other one, are playfully nipping at each other's ears. The sisters' laughter and the dogs' antics create a heartwarming scene of familial love and companionship. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of the future Queen and her sister. It also highlights the close bond between the royal siblings and their pets, which would continue throughout their lives. The image captures a moment of innocence and happiness that stands in contrast to the formal and regal portraits that would come to define their public personas. The photograph is a testament to the enduring connection between the British monarchy and the love of dogs, a tradition that continues to this day. The image is a treasured piece of royal history, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of two of the most famous sisters in history.
