EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, a young Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is seen riding with her uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, and Mr. Owen, the riding master at Windsor Castle, in the picturesque Windsor Great Park in 1935. The image captures a moment of pure joy and relaxation as the royal trio enjoy a leisurely horseback ride through the lush greenery. The Duke of Gloucester, who is on the left, is dressed in a formal riding outfit, complete with a top hat and a long coat. Princess Elizabeth, in her simple riding habit, sits confidently on her pony, her attention focused on the path ahead. Mr. Owen, the experienced riding master, rides alongside them, ensuring that all is going well. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the childhood of the future monarch, revealing her love for horses and the outdoors. The Duke of Gloucester, as her uncle and mentor, played an important role in her early equestrian education. Windsor Great Park, with its vast expanses of greenery and scenic trails, provided the perfect setting for such activities. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy, as well as the simple pleasures of rural life. It also highlights the close bond between the royal family members and their trusted advisors and servants. The Duke of Gloucester's role as a supportive and nurturing figure in Princess Elizabeth's life is evident in this charming image, which has stood the test of time and continues to captivate audiences today.
