EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, a young and radiant Princess Elizabeth, aged ten, is captured in a moment of joy and wonder during her visit to Bekonscot Model Village in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, in April 1936. The Princess, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is seen playfully peering through the miniature gates of a quaint model house, her eyes filled with curiosity and delight. Bekonscot, established in 1929, is the oldest original model village in the world and has been a beloved attraction for generations. The intricately detailed houses, buildings, and landscapes, meticulously crafted to scale, have fascinated visitors for nearly a century. During her visit, Princess Elizabeth was accompanied by her mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and her sister, Princess Margaret. The young princess's visit to Bekonscot was a rare opportunity for her to experience the magic of the miniature world, away from the formalities and expectations of royal life. The photograph captures a fleeting moment of innocence and happiness, as the future monarch takes a break from her royal duties to indulge in the simple pleasure of exploring a model village. The image is a poignant reminder of the human side of a future queen, and the enduring appeal of miniature worlds that continue to captivate and inspire visitors to this day. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the life of a young princess, and the enchanting world of Bekonscot Model Village. It is a reminder of the power of imagination and the joy that can be found in the smallest of things.
