In this print from 1947, we witness a moment of grace and elegance as Princess Elizabeth is escorted by Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. The setting is the Royal Navy Merchant School at Bearwood in Wokingham, where the royal couple visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Princess Elizabeth's radiant smile reflects her genuine happiness as she presents prizes to deserving recipients. Her hat adds an air of sophistication to her ensemble, perfectly complementing her stylish suit. Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten stands tall beside her, exuding chivalry and loyalty. This image captures a significant event that commemorates the remarkable generosity of the people of the Union of South Africa. Their appreciation for the gallantry and fortitude displayed by the Merchant Navy led them to contribute over £500,000 towards supporting this esteemed institution.

This photograph transports us back to an era when royalty was revered not only for their titles but also for their commitment to public service.
