1966 Bahamas Caribbean Kitts Philip Royals Tours Virgin Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, are seen disembarking from a ship during their tour of the Caribbean islands in 1966. The royal couple's visit marked their first official tour of the region, which included stops in the British Virgin Islands, St. Kitts, and the Bahamas. Dressed in tropical attire, the Queen dons a sun hat and a light-colored dress, while Prince Philip wears a linen suit and a panama hat. Surrounded by local dignitaries, military personnel, and members of the press, the couple exude an air of regal composure as they make their way down the gangplank to begin their exploration of these beautiful islands. The Caribbean tour was an important moment in the history of the British monarchy, as it allowed the Queen and Prince Philip to strengthen diplomatic relations with the Commonwealth countries in the region and showcase their support for the local populations. The visit also served to highlight the cultural richness and natural beauty of the Caribbean islands, which continue to be popular tourist destinations to this day. This photograph captures a significant moment in the royal couple's history, as they embarked on a journey that would take them to new and exciting places, further cementing their place in the annals of British royal history.
