EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken in 1947 during the Royal Tour of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), we find a heartwarming moment between Queen Elizabeth, the future Queen of England, and her mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The scene unfolds at the Matopos Hills in Bulawayo, where the two royals had embarked on a challenging climb. As they reached the summit, the Queen's shoes had become damaged from the rugged terrain, leaving her in an uncomfortable predicament. With a loving gesture, Princess Elizabeth, who was wearing shoes in the picture, offered her mother her own footwear to alleviate her discomfort. The Queen graciously accepted, and the two continued their descent with renewed spirits. The image captures the essence of a strong bond between mother and daughter, as well as their unwavering determination to conquer the Matopos Hill together. The fashion of the era is also on full display, with the Queen wearing a stylish hat and a floral dress, while Princess Elizabeth dons a simple yet elegant blouse and a pair of stockings. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and grace of the British royal family, as they navigated the beautiful yet challenging landscapes of Zimbabwe during their tour in the late 1940s. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back to a time when royalty and adventure went hand in hand.
