EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from April 1951, we witness the grace and elegance of Princess Margaret as she inspects cadets at BRNC Dartmouth. Stepping off the train at Kingswear, Her Royal Highness is warmly greeted by Earl Fortescue before embarking on a picturesque barge trip across the Dart River to reach the prestigious College. Dressed impeccably in her regal attire, Princess Margaret's presence exudes royalty and charm as she engages with the young cadets. The image encapsulates a moment frozen in time, showcasing an era when tradition and duty were held dear. Following her inspection duties, HRH graciously accepts an invitation to attend evensong in the college chapel. As dusk settles over Devon's South West region, Princess Margaret's serene silhouette can be seen amidst stained glass windows, offering solace and inspiration to all present. The day concludes with a delightful supper where conversations flow freely between Her Royal Highness and esteemed guests. This snapshot of history not only captures a significant visit by British royalty but also serves as a reminder of an era that shaped our nation during the mid-20th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when Queen Elizabeth II's younger sister graced us with her presence – forever etching herself into our collective memory.
