EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1939, thirteen-year-old Princess Elizabeth and her younger sister, Margaret Rose, are seen attending a service at the chapel of the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth during a visit by the royal family. The young princess, who would later ascend to the throne as Queen Elizabeth II, is pictured here in her childhood innocence, her expression thoughtful and serious as she sits in the pew. Her sister, Margaret, with her bright, curious gaze, is seated beside her, while their governess, Marion Crawford, looks on from the aisle. This significant visit to Dartmouth College holds a special place in history, as it was during this trip that Princess Elizabeth first met Prince Philip of Greece, who would later become her husband. The future monarch's encounter with the dashing prince, who was then a naval cadet, would set the stage for a lifelong partnership and a reign that would span over six decades. The photograph captures a moment of history, frozen in time, as the young princess and her sister are enveloped in the solemnity of the chapel service. The image, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the iconic image of Marion Crawford, or "Crawfie" as she was affectionately known, offers a glimpse into the childhood of a future monarch and the chance encounter that would shape the course of her life.
