EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Elizabeth of York, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is captured in a moment of relaxation in the garden of the York family's London residence at 145 Piccadilly in 1936. The young princess, dressed in a simple yet elegant floral dress, is surrounded by the beauty of nature, with vibrant flowers in full bloom all around her. Two of her beloved corgis, playfully at her feet, add a touch of whimsy and joy to the scene. The year was 1936, a time of great change and uncertainty for the British monarchy. King George V had passed away just a few months earlier, and his eldest son, Edward VIII, had recently abdicated the throne, making way for Elizabeth's father, the Duke of York, to become King George VI. Elizabeth, the heir to the throne, was just 10 years old at the time, but she was already beginning to understand the weight of responsibility that would one day be hers. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, the young princess found solace in the simple pleasures of life, such as spending time in the garden with her beloved pets. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into a moment of happiness and tranquility in the life of a future monarch, reminding us of the human side of royalty and the importance of cherishing the present moment. The Yorks' London residence at 145 Piccadilly was a significant part of Elizabeth's childhood, and she would return to the address many times over the years, both as a princess and as queen. Today, the building is known as Clarence House and remains a cherished part of the British monarchy's history.
