EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen of England, takes the controls of the royal train during her and the Duke of Edinburgh's tour of Canada in October 1951. The young princess, dressed in a smart coat and hat, looks focused and determined as she assumes the role of train driver, with the Duke of Edinburgh acting as the fireman, shoveling coal into the engine's firebox. Engineer A. McPhail, wearing his cap and overalls, watches apprehensively from the side, no doubt impressed by the royal passengers' newfound skills. The royal train was an essential mode of transportation for the British monarchy during their travels around the United Kingdom and its colonies. The image captures a moment of excitement and adventure as Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh take an active role in the journey to Edmonton, Alberta. The 1950s were a time of transition for the young princess, who would soon ascend to the throne following the death of her father, King George VI, in 1952. This photograph serves as a testament to her determination and adaptability, even in the most unexpected circumstances. The royal tour of Canada was an opportunity for the couple to connect with their subjects and strengthen the ties between the United Kingdom and its Dominion. The train journey allowed them to travel through the vast and beautiful Canadian landscapes, meeting people from all walks of life and experiencing the country's rich cultural heritage. This photograph is a unique and captivating reminder of that historic tour and the young princess's transformation into a confident and capable monarch.
